Almost two in three Britons are unable to speak a language other than English, i. e.
monolingual
, which in effect, is the worst record in Europe, according to a study done by the European Commission. At the same time, there is an average of 44% across the European Union (EU) and just 1% in Luxembourg.
The study also proved that English is the most widely spoken language throughout Europe, with 51% of EU citizens able to hold a conversation in English, including 13% for whom it is their mother tongue.
The report warned that there is a growing divide between multilingual and monolingual Europeans. " A multilingual European is likely to be young, well-educated or still studying, born in a country other than the country of residence, and a person who uses foreign languages for professional reasons and is interested in learning," the report concluded. "As a result, it seems that a large part of European society is not enjoying the advantages of multilingualism. "
Tamzin Caffrey, one of the researchers, said Britons could lose out because of laziness. She said, " There is sometimes a very self-important view that people from other countries will learn to speak English, so we don’t need to bother to learn to speak their languages. Britons are missing out on a wonderful chance to go to other countries on holiday or on business because they don’t speak their language. "
Ms Lemmens, 42, who has lived in the UK for five years, says, " I started Latin as my first foreign language at age 10, English as my second and French as my third. Learning a language is really a life-changing experience. It enables you to experience different cultures and it opens the world up to you. "
What does Ms Lemmens say about learning foreign languages?
选项
A、You should start it at an early age.
B、Latin should be the first you learn.
C、It broadens your view of the world.
D、It helps you the most in high school.
答案
C
解析
根据最后一段Lemmens女士所说的话中的“It enables you to experience different cultures and it opens the world up to you. ”可知,学习外语能让你体验不同的文化,并向你打开世界的大门,即学习外语开阔了你的世界观。故选C。
