III. Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question:
Every year, students in many countries learn English. Some of these students are young children. Others are teenagers. Many are adults. Some learn at school, others study by themselves. A few learn English just by hearing the language in films, on television, in the office or among their friends. But not many are lucky enough to do that. Most people must work hard to learn another language. 
Many adults learn English because it is useful for their work. Teenagers often learn English for their higher studies, because some of their books are in English at college or university. Others learn English because they want to read newspapers or magazines in English. 
Many boys and girls learn English at school because it is one of their subjects. They study their own language, mathematics, and English. In England, America or Australia, many boys and girls study their native language, which is English, mathematics, and another language, perhaps French, or German or Spanish.
According to the writer .. 
 A. only adults learn English 	B. no children like to learn English
 C. English is useful for teenagers. 	D. English is popular all over the world. 
2.Most people learn English by . 
 A. watching video only. 	 B. hearing the language in the office. 
 C. talking with foreigners. 	 D. working hard on their lessons. 
3.Many boys and girls learn English because . 
 A. English give them a job.	B. it is included in their study courses. 
 C. they are forced to learn it. 	D. they have to study their own languages
4.Many adults learn English because  
 A. it helps them in their work.	 B. they want to go abroad.

 A. English as a foreign language. 	B. English and mathematics only. 	
 C. such foreign languages as French, German, and Spanish.	
 D. their own language and some foreign languages.
IV. Read the passage, then decide if the statements that follow it are True or False. 
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. 
1. You don’t need to study too much grammar to be fluent in English. 
2.You need to be quite intelligent to study a language well. 
3. Living in an English speaking environment,people will learn the language better. 
4. An iPod may be useful for you to improve your listening skill.
