5. Matthew Youlden speaks nine languages fluently and understands more than a dozen more. Below is his advice for those who have been struggling to merely pick up a second language. First, know why you’re doing it. If you don’t have a good reason to learn a language, you are less likely to stay motivated over the long-run. No matter your reason, once you’ve decided on a language, it’s crucial to commit: “OK, I want to learn this and I’m therefore going to do as much as I can in this language, with this language and for this language.” Second, find a partner. Matthew learned several languages together with his twin brother Michael. Matthew and Michael gained their superpowers from good- old, healthy sibling rivalry: “We were very motivated, and we still are. We push each other to really go for it. So if he realizes that I’m doing more than he is he’ll get a bit jealous and then try and outdo me - and the other way round.” Having any kind of partner will push both of you to always try just a little bit harder and stay with it: “I think it’s a really great way of actually going about it. You have someone with whom you can speak, and that’s the idea behind learning a language.” Third, talk to yourself. When you have no one else to speak to, there’s nothing wrong with talking to yourself: “It might sound really weird, but actually | speaking to yourself in a language is a great way to practice if you’re not able to use it all the time.” This can keep new words and phrases fresh in your mind and build up your confidence for the next time you speak with someone. (Adapted from: Question 32.How many languages does Matthew know? A. Fewer than 10 B. Around 12 C. About 20 D. Approximately 30 Question 33. What is the first tip for learning a foreign language? A. Plan to learn step by step B. Find someone to speak to C. Talk as much as possible D. Set a goal and stick to it Question.34 Why is it necessary to have an appropriate reason? A. To know about the people
6. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Charity organizations are responsible for most of the help extended to the destitute. Each organization caters to a different group of people. The Red Cross is a well-known organization that has centres in countries all over the world. It had its beginnings in a small Italian town in 1859. A fierce battle was taking place then and more than forty thousand people were wounded. The medical services of the army were inadequate. The situation horrified a Swiss businessman who then wrote a book depicting the dreadful situation. His book was the impetus for the setting up of charity organizations. Today, countries emulate the workings of the Red Cross. They carry out fund raising activities to help children who cannot receive an education or victims of natural disasters. Both the young and old contribute willingly to these organizations. In fact, without these charity organizations, millions of people around the world would perish because of poverty or natural disasters. In India, a compassionate woman started PUSS (Palli Unnayan Sevi Samiti). Supported by social workers and teachers, she has helped hundreds of children receive a proper education. Without her help, the literacy rate in India would be much lower than what it is today. Charity organizations are crucial today. They cannot function without the benevolent people who help to run these organizations. (Comprehension Fast Forward 6—J. Lee — SAP) Question 39.The first centre of the Red Cross was in ___. A.
