Language experts, however, will tell you that you’re never too old to learn a new language. As you get older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language, though. ‎ ‎ Children and adults learn new languages in different ways. For children, language is their life. They study for thousands of hours every year, because they need to learn languages to become part of their communities. Adults, on the other hand, are already part of a language community. Learning a new language means becoming part of another language community, and adults rarely get the chance to practice as much as young children do.‎ ‎ Moreover, children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes. This gives them freedom when learning to be daring and confident. Adults, however, often feel pressured to be perfect when learning a new language. This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.‎ ‎ When young children learn a new language, they come to see various languages as a “normal” part of society. This mindset （思维模式）helps them embrace learning a new language ‎ without feeling like they’re doing something unusual or “too hard”.‎ ‎ So if you want to learn a new language, go for it! It’s never too late to learn a new language. If you’re older, it may take more work, but it can be done. If you’re a young child, though, now is the time to step out and learn a new language!‎ ‎21．By “Language is their life”, the author means that children .‎ A. can’t live without language B. lead a happy life every day C. practice a new language a lot D. are taken good care of adults ‎22．What may make it hard for the old people to learn to a new language?‎ A. They are afraid of being laughed at. B. They usually have too many interests.‎ C. They think making mistakes is natural. D. They always make all kinds of mistakes.‎ ‎23．Which of the following shows the difference between children and adults in learning a new language?‎ A. The behaviors they have. B. The learning attitudes.‎ C. The future plans they have made. D. The materials they are using.‎ ‎24．According to the author, a new language .‎ A. can never be learned by the old people ‎ B. can be grasped by the old people easily C. can be understood only by the old people ‎ D. can be learned by both the old and the young B WE NEED FOREIGN TEACHERS ALL OVER CHINA Ad No. 90374‎ Posted: Mar 12, 2016 13:27 by Amanda Expire Date(有效期): Apr 12, 2016‎ Tag: Beijing Language Teaching Part Time We are looking for teachers, whose native language is English, willing to teach in China.

One expert points out that the percentage(比率) of native English speakers is declining(降低) while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken by increasing numbers of people. But English will continue to remain widespread and important.‎ ‎ However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance(主导) by the middle of this century to rank after Chinese, about equally with Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu. “The number of people speaking English as a first language continues to rise, but it isn’t rising nearly as fast as the numbers of many other languages around the world, simply because the main population group has been largely in the less developed countries where languages other than English have been spoken,” he says.‎ ‎ In a recent article in the journal Science, Mr. Graddol noted that three languages that are not near the top of the list of the most widely spoken now might be there soon. These are Bengali, Tamil, and Malay, spoken in south and southeast Asia.‎ ‎ David Crystal, the author of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language, says about 1.5 billion of the world’s six billion people speak it as a second language compared to the 400 million native speakers. But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol underestimates (低估) the future of its dominance. “All the evidence suggests that the English language snowball is rolling down a hill and is getting faster, but nobody quite knows what’s going to happen because no language has been in this position before.” he said.‎ ‎28．In David Graddol’ s opinion, English will _______.‎ A. remain widespread and important B. be more important than any other language C. lose its dominant position D. die away in the near future ‎29．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that ______.‎ A. more and more language users will choose English B. the English language snowball is rolling down faster than any time in the past C. English language will soon drop in dominance D. snowballs will roll down faster than language balls ‎ ‎30．How many experts does the passage mention who express their ideas about the future of English?‎ A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.‎ ‎31．What should be the best title for the passage?‎ A. English Remaining in the Dominant Position ‎ B. The Future of English? Who Knows?‎ C. Opinions from Different Experts ‎ D. The English Language Snowball Rolling Down D Are you looking for some new and exciting places to take your kids to? Try some of these places:‎ ‎●Visit art museums. They offer some activities to excite your kids' interest. Many offer workshops for making hand-made pieces, traveling exhibits, book signings(签名) by children's favorite writers, and even musical performances and other arts.‎ ‎● Head to a natural history museum. This is where kids can discover the past from dinosaur models to rock collections and pictures of stars in the sky. Also, ask what kind of workshops and educational programs are prepared for kids and any special events that are coming up.‎ ‎● Go to a Youtheater. Look for one in your area offering plays for child and family visitors. Pre-show play shops are conducted by area artists and educators where kids can discover the secret about performing arts. Puppet (木偶) making and stage make-up are just a couple of the special offerings you might find.‎ ‎●Try hands-on science. Visit one of the many hands-on science museums around the country. These science play-lands are great fun for kids and grown-ups alike. They'll keep your child mentally and physically active the whole day through while pushing buttons, experimenting, and building..

I have never lived in a house before in my life. We always lived in flats, in a two bedroom flat on the fifth floor. If I stay here, it might be possible in the next 15 years to buy my own flat.‎
