II. Read the passage below and choose the best option to complete the sentences (5pts)
English is my mother tongue. Besides, I can speak French and Spanish. I studied
the two languages when I was at high school. Now, I am still learning Spanish at the
University. As for me, mastering a foreign language is not easy. After studying a
language, practice is very necessary and useful. Travelling to the country where the target
language is spoken is very helpful, but if you cannot speak the language well enough you


will certainly have troubles. I also frequently go to the movies, watch television, and
listen to the radio in the language I am trying to learn. Reading is another good way to
learn. Books are good, but I personally think newspapers and magazines are better.
However, getting some knowledge of the language is the most important thing. Grammar
and vocabulary should be mastered first.

A. 1
B. 2
C. 3

A. you cannot speak the language well enough.

C. you can speak the language bad enough.
D. you can communicate in the target language.

4. Some useful ways to practice your target language are........................
A. listening to the radio and watching TV in the language
B. reading books in the language
C. seeing films in the language
D. all is correct
