IX.READING: (2,5pts)
Every year, students in many countries learn English. Some of these students are
young children. Others are teenagers. Many are adults. Some learn at school, others study
by themselves. A few learners learn English just by hearing the language in film, on
television, in the office, or among their friends. But not many are lucky enough to do that.
Most people must work hard to learn another language.
Learning another language! Learning English! Why do all these people want to
learn English? It is not difficult to answer that question. Many boys and girls learn

Math.... and English. (In England, or America, or Australia many boys and girls study
their own language, which is English and another language, perhaps French, or German,
or Spanish.)
Many adults learn English because it is useful for their work. Teenagers often
