Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 28 to 32.
It is not easy for adult students of English to improve their accents. Unlike children, who are flexible, adults
often find it hard to change the way they speak. This is why even the top, or smartest adult students have difficulty
with pronunciation. There are several things that an international student can do to improve his or her pronunciation.
One method is to sign up for a pronunciation class. Studying pronunciation can help students to understand
the rules of English, but in order to practice speaking, students often need to be exposed to English outside the
classroom as well. This is why many students say that studying in an English-speaking country greatly affects their
English. Living with native speakers can help students to pick up new vocabulary as well as improve their accents.
International students can also learn important cultural information. This can help to prevent misunderstandings that
can occur when people from different cultures live together.
Living with someone from another culture can be difficult. International students are usually excited when
they first show up their new homes, but after a few months they may start to think about their home countries and get
homesick. Students who are homesick get depressed quickly. They might cry a lot or want to be alone. This makes it
difficult for them to make friends and learn English.
23. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. Learning English
B. The Problems Adult Students May Face
C. How To Overcome Homesickness
D. How To Improve Pronunciation Skill

24. According to the passage, why do many international students feel depressed?
A. Because they cannot improve their pronunciation.
B. Because they are lonely.
C. Living with someone from another culture can be difficult.
D. Because they are homesick.
25. In context of the passage , what does “to be exposed to English” mean?
A. living in an English-speaking environment
B. avoiding speaking outside the classroom
C. listening to native speakers
D. imitating native speakers
26. Which of the following is true?
A. To avoid misunderstanding about cultures, students should live with native speakers.
B. Many students feel depressed because they cannot improve their pronunciation.
c. On their arrival, most international students may forget about the problems because they are very excited.
D. The passage implies that adult learners shouldn’t study English in an English-speaking country to avoid
these problems.
