VII. Read the following passage and do the tasks below: (2 ms)
English is my native language. Besides, I can speak French and Spanish. I studied the two languages when I was at high school. Now, I am still learning Spanish at the university. As for me, mastering a foreign language is not easy. After studying a foreign language, practice is very necessary and useful. Traveling to the country where the target languages spoken is very helpful, but if you can not speak the language well enough you will certainly have troubles. I also frequently go to the movies, watch television, and listen to the radio in the language I am trying to learn. Reading is another good way to learn. Books are good, but I personally think newspapers and magazines are better. However getting some knowledge of the language is the most important thing. Grammar and vocabulary should be mastered first.
