人与社会·语言与文化 (2023黑龙江哈尔滨香坊区二模改编,69—75,★☆☆)
As an Englishman, I can speak three languages—English, German and French, so do you think the British people are very good language learners? The fact is that we aren’t.
Some statistics(数据) from a survey showed that 62% of the British people can only speak English. 38% can speak at least one foreign language and 18% can speak two or more. Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in the EU(欧盟) can speak at least one foreign language and 28% can speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are not good language learners in Europe.
In Britain, students are not required to learn a foreign language. In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11. And many of British students stop learning it at 14. We think it is more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.
To solve this situation, the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school. Changing the British attitude (态度) to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decides to try!
