IV. Read the passage, then decide if the statements that follow it are True or False. (1.0 pt)
It might sound strange to you but these are some important rules. If you want to pass examinations,
then study grammar. However, if you want to become fluent in English, try to learn English without
studying too much grammar because that will only slow you down and confuse you. You will think
about the rules when creating sentences instead of speaking naturally like a native speaker. Some
native speakers do not know so many grammar rules as non-native students do.
Everyone can speak at least one language whether they are intelligent, or lack some brain power.
This could be achieved by being surrounded by that language at all times. You may notice that there are
also some people who study abroad and learn very little. That is because they go to an English
speaking school, but find friends from their own country and don’t practice English. Some others can
speak English well because they live in an English speaking environment.
Therefore, why don’t you surround yourself with English? Make rules with some friends that you
will only speak English when meeting up for a coffee, for example. You can also carry around an iPod
and listen to English as much as possible.

19. You don’t need to study too much grammar to be fluent in English.
__________
20. You need to be quite intelligent to study a language well.
__________
21. Living in an English speaking environment, people will learn the language better. __________
22. An iPod may be useful for you to improve your listening skill.
__________
