Learning a foreign language 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.
Answer True or False:
… 1. Learning a foreign language and learning to fly are the same in an
important way.
… 2. Information about flying from books is enough for someone to fly.
… 3. It is dangerous to try to fly without any practice.
……. 4. Talking to a native speaker can be a good way to speak English well.
Answer the questions:
1.According to the author, what will happen if you fly without any practice ?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
2. Does learning a foreign language need lots of practice?
