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, the mistakes are secondary consideration 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 interacting with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say "I’ll do it". The resulting discrepancy can serve as a basis for the student to modify his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to interact in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.
The passage indicates that the present tense in English is________.

选项 A、basically the same in English as it is in Spanish
B、not the most difficult problem for foreign students
C、not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate future
D、used with some verbs but not with others to express future intention

答案C

解析 文章第五句“For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying ‘I do it’to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by interacting with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say ‘I’ll do it’.”。本题为细节题。根据定位句,西班牙人讲英语的时候用“I do it”表示在不久的将来做某事的愿望,而以英语为母语的英国人则用“I’ll do it”来表示。所以通过和native speaker的交流,就可以体会到英语中的一般现在时不用来表示“将来做某事的愿望”。故选C。
