When I was eight years old, my family moved from Edinburgh to London because father started a new job there. It was hundreds of miles away from my grandmother, so we sometimes spent hours ______ to Edinburgh to visit her when we missed her terribly.

Grandmother never had much. She didn't have ______ things, or live in a nice house, but I could feel with my ______ that she loved us deeply, especially when my world was turned upside down ______ my mother and father divorced(離婚) two years later.

I still remember those little things, Grandmother allowed me to sit on top of her ______ table, getting me to dip(蘸) my fingers in the sugar bowl or ______ from her coffee cup. Grandmother had a beautiful bottle high on a shelf. One day after her ______， I received a box. To my surprise, I found the ______ inside. She remembered once I had asked her for it.

Grandmother ______ her pennies(便士) in a glass jar. She could use those pennies herself but she kept ______ for my brother Tommy and me. And I was always ______ to divide the pennies between my brother and me. “One for you, one for me，” I would repeat(重復) ______ the jar was empty. I don't remember how much we got on our visits, but I know that's ______ she loved us and cared about us when we were far away from her. So if I am ______ enough to find a penny lying on the ground one day, I am sure it is just the one from Grandmother in heaven(天堂)．

As an Englishman, I can speak three languages—English, German and French, so do you think the British people are very good language learners? The fact is that they aren’t.

Some statistics（數(shù)據(jù)）from the survey done by the European Commission（歐盟委員會）showed that 62% of the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more. Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.

And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English. That’s why my people don’t think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.

In Britain, students are not required to learn a foreign language. That means learning a foreign language is only an option at school. In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why don’t students continue learning foreign languages at school? Because they think it is more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.

To solve this situation, the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices.

Changing the British attitude（態(tài)度）to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decided to try!

1.Which of the following about the British people is TRUE?

A. They are good language learners.

B. 62% of them speak two or more languages.

C. More than half of them only speak English.

D. They are famous for speaking foreign languages.

2.In Paragraph 4, “option” means .

A. game B. choice C. mistake D. conversation

3.What is the best title of the passage?

A. Speaking English B. Young English learners

C. Schools in the UK D. Foreign Language Learning in the UK
