READING 1. Read the passage and complete the sentences. Circle A, B, or C. Did you ever wonder why it is so difficult for adults to start to learn English or a foreign language? Every year, millions of grown-ups around the world spend a handsome amount of money to learn English but not many of them succeed in becoming fluent English speakers. This is because it is not easy to pick up a new language after a certain age. However, little children learn foreign languages without much difficulty. This is because they have a special ability that helps them learn languages fast. This ability weakens when people grow older. Think of the little time children need to learn their native language. So, if you have the desire to learn English or any other foreign language, you should begin as soon as possible. Remember that the longer you wait, the harder it will become. 1.

He came to see his friend in London for a few days. He was quite surprised to find that there were subtle differences between American English and British English other than the accent. The biggest difference he found was in vocabulary. He was surprised when he wanted to stand in line to get into the movie theatre, he was asked to "queue" next to the wall. He also learned that "a truck" in Britain is called "a lorry" and "an apartment" is called "a flat", "subway" means "underground" and the hood of a car is called a "bonnet". There is a slight difference in spelling, too. For example, the words "center, color, burned, dialog, realise" were spelled "centre, colour, burnt, dialogue, realize" respectively. Danny also noticed that the American say "I’m going to see a movie with my friends" while the British say "I’m going to see a movie with my mates".
