I speak Spanish, because I was born in Spain. But then at primary school I had to learn Russian, and at high school, I was taught how to speak German. But I always wanted to speak English.
At last I came to America. Everywhere there was English! But even if I heard and felt its presence, it was hard for me to understand it and express myself in it. The few lessons of English that I had taken in Spain gave me only a chance to introduce myself, and I didn’t even know how to buy things and ask directions.
To talk to somebody, I went to a high school to take a course in English for foreigners. Disappointingly, it took almost an hour to get through the process of introducing ourselves. Everyone had to learn something that I had already known from my books – the English alphabet (字母表) and numbers. I thought it was a waste of time, so I quit.
After a month, I tried again, but this time at college. After 15 minutes of introducing ourselves, a teacher gave us a lecture about the history of English. Then we were told that it was very important to know English in an English-speaking country. It took three hours for the teacher to tell us this. Again, I quit.
But I didn’t stop looking for something or someone that would help me to achieve my goal, and I found a tutor from Literacy Volunteers of America. But I still wasn’t happy with the classes. And when it was my turn to give a speech, I was happy to use all the long, complicated words that I had learned from one of my English books. When I had finished, my tutor said “Well, I think I have to learn English before coming to teach you!” This time, the tutor quit!
1.How many languages has the writer learned?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
2.Why did the author leave the high school?
A. Because no one wanted to talk to him.
B. Because the lessons were too easy.
C. Because everyone had to learn the English alphabet and numbers.
D. Because the courses were prepared for the natives.
3.Which of the following words can be used to describe the writer?
A. Cheerful. B. Crazy. C. Friendly. D. Serious.
4.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The writer learnt many foreign languages.
B. The writer tested the teachers’ English abilities.
