问题     In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is communication, then mistakes are secondary considerations that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying" I do it" to express willingness to do something in the immediate future , could, by communicating with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say" I’ ll do it". This difference can serve as a basis for the student to change his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to communicate in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.  
The author’s major conclusion about the function of mistakes in foreign language learning is that______.

选项 A、mistakes are not important in the process of learning a language
B、learners are often very afraid of making mistakes
C、making mistakes can help the learner discover the rules of the language
D、native speakers often do not tell foreign language learners about their mistakes

答案C

解析 逻辑推理题。文章的尾句提到:“But a student who is unwilling to communicate in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.”(—个不愿意用语言交流的学生会失去在错误中学习的机会。)前面又列举了说西班牙语的人在和英语为母语的使用者的交流中发现自己一般现在时使用不当的例子,因此犯错误能帮助学习者发现语言的规律。
