Some people say it is not easy for a middle - aged person to learn a foreign language. But is it __1__ (real) true?
Several years ago, I worked for __2__ English newspaper which was doing such a research. They asked me to learn a new language for one month. Then I had to go to the country and do some “tests” __3__ (see) if I could “survive (挺过来)” in different situations.
I chose Spanish (西班牙语) and did a one - month course at a language school and __4__ (find) that some Spanish words are very similar to English ones. __5__ example, *hola* isn’t very different from “hello”. Of course, there are other things which are more difficult. In Spanish you have to change the verbs (动词) for each person. But my __6__ (big) problem of all was the pronunciation. I found __7__ was very difficult to pronounce some letters in Spanish, especially r and j. So I had to download __8__ (sentence) onto my phone and I listened and practised them again and again.
A month later I went to Spain. A Spanish teacher __9__ (call) Paula came and began the test. “Will I survive?” I wasn’t sure enough but __10__ I wished I would!
