1. Learning a language seems to be never easy. One's mother language is easier to learn but it also
requires a lot of practice to be fluent. And think how much practice that gets! Before the Second World
War, people usually learned a foreign language in order to read the literature of the country. Now, they
need the language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and doctors chiefly need to
be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Every year many millions of people start
learning one. How do they do it? Some people try it at home, with books and records of tapes; some use
radio or television programmes; some use computers and network; others go to evening classes. If they
use the language only 2 or 3 times a week, it will take a long time, like learning a foreign language at
9. school. A few people try to learn the language fast by studying for 6 or more hours a day. It is clearly
10. easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken. However, most people cannot afford this,
11. and for many it is not necessary. Whether the language is learned quickly or slowly, it is hard work for
12. most people. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the student's work for him.
