In school all over the world boys and girls are learning foreign languages.26 knows his own language, but another one is very useful, 27 when we travel to other countries. If we go to France, we 28 be able to speak French, and in Germany people will 29 us to understand German.
How many languages are there in the world? There are about fifteen hundred , but many of them are not very 30 . English is one of the most important 31 so many people use it, not only in English and the USA, 32 in other parts of the world. About 200,000,000 people speak it 33 their own language , and another 200,000,000 use it as 34 language. It is difficult to say how many people are learning it. Many millions of schoolboys and schoolgirls are trying to do so.
English children study French, 35 is also a very important language. An Englishman can 36 find someone in almost all parts of the world who is able to talk to him in either English or 37 .
Which is the best way to learn a language ? We should remember that we all learnt our own language well when we were children. If we could learn a second language 38 same way, it would not seem so 39 .Think of what a child 40 . It listens to what people say , and it tries to imitate (模仿) what it hears. When it wants something, it 41 ask for it. It is 42 the language, talking in it, and thinking in it all the time. If people had to use a second language all the time , they would learn it quickly.
43 is important to remember ,also ,that we learn our own language by hearing people speak it, not by seeing 44 they write. We imitate what we hear. In school 45 you learn to read and write as well as to hear and speak, it is 46 to learn all new words through the ear. You can read them, spell them, and write them later.
