Ａ
In schools boys and girls are learning foreign languages.
Do you know how many languages there are in the world? There are
about one thousand five hundred. English is one of the most important
languages because so many people use it, not only in England and
America, but also in other countries of the world. It is difficult to
say how many people are learning it. Millions of boys and girls are
trying to do so.
Many English children study French. French is also a very important
language. Some children study German, Russian, Japanese and Chinese.
Which is the best way to learn a language? We know that we all
learnt our own language well when we were children. If we learn a
second language in the same way, it won't seem so difficult. How does a
small child do? He listens to what people say, and he tries to guess
what he hears. When he wants something, he has to ask for it. He is
using the language, thinking in it and talking in it all the time. If
people use a second language all the time, they will learn it quickly.

根据短文，判断下列句子内容是否正确，对的在题前括号内打“T”，错的打“F”：
4. The best way for one to learn a language is only to listen to what
people say.
5. We won't learn a second language quickly, if we don't use it all the
time.
1. English is used by many people in the world.
2. All boys and girls are learning foreign languages.
3. People learned their own language when they were children.
