Almost two in three Britons are unable to speak a language other than English, i. e. monolingual, in effect, the worst record in Europe, a study done by the European Commission, has formed. This compared with an average of 44% across the EU and just 1% in Luxembourg.
The study also proved that English was the most widely-spoken foreign language throughout Europe, with 51% of EU citizens able to hold a conversation in English, including 13% for whom it was their mother tongue.
The report warned that there was 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, 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 of the National Center for Learning Languages, 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 work together with other countries on holiday or on business because they don’t speak the language. "
Ms Lemmens, 42, who has lived in the UK for five years, said," When I was growing up, I had to take at least two foreign languages to finish high school. I started Latin as my first language at age 10, English as my second and French as my third, I learnt Italian after I left school. Learning a Ianguage really is a life-changing experience. It enables you to really 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
根据文章最后一段Ms Lemmens说的话中最后一句“It enables you to really experience different cultures and it opens the world up to you.”可知,Ms Lemmens说到学习外语能扩宽眼界,所以C项做符合题意,故选C。
