THE SUBJECT I ENJOY LEARNING I learn many subjects in school, but the one I enjoy learning is History. History tells us how people lived along time ago. It also tells us how men had to struggle to make the world a better place to live in. Many pupils, however, do not like to read History. They say that there are too many names and dates to remember. But they do not understand that if we do not know about the past, we can not understand the present properly. For example, if we wish to know how men did in the past to travel at night or to keep themselves warm. In fact, only a student of History will make us realize that everything that we do today is the result of what our grandfathers and others before them did in the past, so History is the long story of men’s struggle through the ages. As we read this story, we learn many interesting things. I love history so much that I have a lot of history books in my house. Some day, I might even write a history book myself. 29. History is the writer’s favorite subject. ___ 30. Learning History, we can know how people lived a long time ago. ____ 31. If you want to study History well, you have to be good at remembering many names and dates. ____ 32. Many students like to study History. ____ IV.

Everybody learns his first language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child. Some children living abroad with their parents seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. At school, it isn’t so easy to learn a second language because the students have little time for it and they are busy with other subjects as well. The best way for most of us to remember things is to join them in our mind with something we know already or something we easily remember. That is better to learn words in sentences than by themselves, or to feel what a word means when we first use it. 1. ____. People don’t need to have a good memory in order to learn languages. 2. ____. Children learn their mother tongue when they are very young. 3. ____. It is difficult to learn a second language at school. 4. ____. Learning words one by one is better than in sentences.

(1pt) Learning a language is, in some ways, like learning how to fly or play the piano. There are some differences, but there is a very important similarity. It is this: learning how to do such things needs lots of practice. It is never simple enough to "know" something. You must be able to "do" things with what to know. For example, it is not simple enough to read a book on how to fly a plane. A book can give you lots of information about how to fly, but if you only read a book and then try to fly without a great deal of practice first, you will crash and kill yourself. The same is true of learning the piano or learning a foreign language. Can you speak English well without having lots of practice? "Practice makes perfect" is what every learner of foreign language should know. 29 ___. Learning a foreign language and learning to fly are the same in an important way. 30. ___. Information about flying from books is enough for someone to fly. 31. ___. It is dangerous to try to fly without any real practice. 32. ___. Talking to a native speaker can be good way to speak English well. VII. (33 -36) Writing: Rewrite the sentences without changing the meaning. (2pts) 33. We intend to join in an English club.
