2. Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions. (2ms)
Learning a foreign language (hoc ngoai ngu) is, in some ways, like learning how to fly. There are some differences, but there is a very important similarity. It is this: learning how to do these things needs a lot of practice. It is never enough to read a book on how to fly a plane. A book can give you a lot of information about how to fly, but if you only read that book, then try to fly without any practice, you will kill yourself. The same is true of learning a foreign language. For example, can you speak English well without having lots of practice? “Practice makes perfect” is what every learner of a foreign language should know.
- differences: những sự khác biệt	- similarity: sự giống nhau 	- information: thông tin
- practice: luyện tập 	- kill: giết 	- without: ngoại trừ
