 HOW WE LEARN A LANGUAGE 
The first language you learn to speak is called your native language. As a baby, you listened to 
your parents or other people speaking and then imitated the sounds you heard. Babies seem to be 
born with an ability to learn the language they hear. 
Native speakers learn as children to use the right words and arrange them in the right order 
without even thinking about it. If English is your native language, you know automatically that “I going 
bed” is wrong, but “I am going to bed” is right. 
If you learn a second language, you have to memorize its words and learn its rules. That’s why 
learning a second language can be difficult. 
Young children can learn a new language very easily. If they are surrounded by people 
speaking a different language, they soon learn to speak it as well as their native language. 
But as people grow older, it becomes more difficult to learn new languages. People gradually lose 
the ability to learn the grammar and pronounce the sounds of another language. People who learn a 
new language as adults usually have a “foreign accent” when they speak it. 
Câu 46: According to the passage, a native language is ______. 
A. a new different language you learn to speak 
B. the first language you learn to speak 
C. a language you learn to speak as an adult 
D. the language you speak with a “foreign accent”

Câu 48: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? 
A. Young children have considerable difficulty learning a new language. 
B. People gradually lose the ability to learn the grammar and pronounce the sounds of a new 
language. 
C. Babies seem to have an ability to learn the language they hear. 
D. It becomes more difficult to learn a new language when people grow older.
