D I didn’t start learning English until I was 11 and it was so difficult. There were 30 students in my class and we never said anything in English. The teacher taught us grammar rules and we learned long lists of vocabulary for tests. I didn’t understand why I was learning this strange language. The teacher didn’t show us English films or magazines and we never played any games. The lessons were boring, so I didn’t learn anything. I don’t think our teacher was very good!

Read the texts about when people started learning English. Match the comments in 1–6 with the people in A–D. You can choose the people more than once. 1 I think it’s important to have fun when you’re learning a new language. ___ 2 I’m not the only one in my family who can speak two languages. ___ 3 I didn’t learn much in my first English lessons. ___ 4 My parents are different nationalities. ___ 5 It’s important to have a real reason to learn a language. ___ 6 It didn’t take me long to learn English. ___ A I can’t remember when I first started learning English because it was – and still is – the language my family speaks at home. You see, my mum is English and she and my dad (who’s French) thought it was a good idea for their children to speak English at home and French at school. It worked! My sisters and I speak both languages well, and I can go from one to the other without thinking. B I never learned English at school because our second language was Spanish. I think today the children learn English, but not when I was young. I learned English when I worked in London for a year after university. I was so worried about the language! But I found that after a few weeks I knew what people were saying and I could say quite a lot. I think you learn a language best when you really need to, not just for passing exams at school.

C My first English lessons were when I was about seven, at school, but we didn’t do very much! I don’t remember anything from those lessons. We had one lesson every week and I forgot everything between the lessons. The only lesson that is still in my memory is when we imagined we were different fruits. I was a banana and I walked round the room saying ‘I am a banana!’ I thought it was very silly!

Choose the correct alternatives to complete the text. Can dogs (1) ___ language? (2) ___ animal lovers believe that their doggy friends can understand every word they (3) ___ to them, but is this really true? It is more probable that dogs generally understand the way we say things and not the words (4) ___ we say. So, for example, we can say ‘Walkies!’ and they get excited, but it’s not (5) ___ word ‘Walkies!’ that they recognize, it’s the lift in our voice – the intonation. We can say another word with the same intonation and they get excited again! However, there are (6) ___ types of dog that can understand separate words. We can train these dogs to understand a lot of different words. There is one dog in Germany (7) ___ can identify over 200 different toys. The owner says the name of (8) ___ toy and the dog finds the correct one from a big group of toys. That is more than young children can (9) ___! This shows that doggy brains can give meaning to language.
