“Many people still believe that natural resources will never be end up. Actually, the
world’s energy resources are limited. Nobody knows exactly how much fuel is left. However, we
also should save them economically and try to find out alternative sources of power. According
to Proffessor Marvin Burnham of the New England Institute of Technology, we have to start
conserving coal, oil and gas before it is too late; and nuclear power is the only alternative.
However, many people do not approve of using nuclear power because it is very
dangerous. What would happen if there was a serious nuclear accident? Radioactivity causes
cancer and may badly affect the future generation.

There are about 3000 living languages in the world, but only six of them are the most important
ones. Two-thirds of the world’s population speaks those languages. More than 400 million people
speak English as their mother tongue. Another 400 million speak it as a second language. No one
knows how many people speak it as a foreign language. Chinese is the language with more speakers
than English, but it is only the language for more than one billion Chinese people. English is the
official language on one-fifth of the land area in the world. It is spoken in North America, Great Britain,
Australia, and New Zealand. In South Africa and India it is one of the official languages. In many
countries, the textbooks in universities are written in English. More than three-fourths of the world’s
mail is composed in English. More than three-fifths of the radio stations broadcast programs in
English. More than half of the scientific and research journals are in English. English is the language
of international communication.

My best friend, Na learned English at school and university many years ago. She is now studying English again in London because she’s forgotten a lot of it. Na really needs English for her job. She works for an international bank in Hanoi. Her speaking and reading are excellent. She just wants to improve her writing skill so that she can write normal letter in English. In Na’s opinion the aspect of learning English she finds most difficult is listening. It’s her biggest problem. People speak very quickly and she can’t understand them. Although she has difficulty in studying this language, she likes it a lot. She said it was an interesting language and she could talk to people from all over the world… and she could understand the words of her favorite song, too.
1.English is unnecessary for Na’s job.
2. Na can speak English very well.
3. People talk  too quickly for Na to understand
4. Na finds English very interesting because she has no difficulty in studying it.
