3.2. Сравните их с вашими ответами.
A - English belongs to a group of Germanic languages. Thus German
is relatively close to English. At the same time England had numerous
contacts with France, so French had tremendous influence on English.
Today a person who knows both English and French will easily find
numerous similarities in these languages. Those who already know
English will have less difficulties learning French.
B - Russia is integrating into the world community and the problem
of learning English for the purpose of communication is especially urgent
today. In Russia people learn English to be able to exchange the latest
information concerning science, technology and commerce with their
colleagues; to be able to read foreign newspapers and books. Learning
foreign languages is especially popular among young people. For them
English is a way of exploring a completely new world. A person who
travels a lot also needs English. Even in the countries where English is
not an official language people will generally be able ID understand it.
C - Much depends on the parents. Some children start to learn foreign
languages very early, in kindergartens for example. They are taught ABC
English there: they sing songs, recite nursery rhymes and learn to
construct some phrases. Others start learning languages at school. At
some specialised schools foreign languages are taught from the second to
the eleventh class. But generally pupils learn foreign languages-from the
fifth to the eleventh class.
D - Yes, it is. Basically English is an easier language to learn than
almost any other language. Its grammar is not difficult at all.
