As an English, 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 they aren't.
Some statistics (数据) from the survey done by the European Commission (欧盟委员会) showed that 62% of the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more. Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more.
From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.
And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English. That's why my people don't think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.
In Britain, students are not required to learn a foreign language. That means learning a foreign language is only an option at school. In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why don't students continue learning foreign languages at school? Because they 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. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices.
Changing the British attitude (态度) to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decides to try!
The game of Go was one of the four greatest artistic types in Chinese culture. It is not only a competitive event of the mind, but also a board game amusing ourselves.
Created in China more than four thousand years ago. Go was introduced to Korea and Japan over 1,000 years ago, and has become a favorite activity of many people there. Today, Go still serves as a way of cultural exchange among the people in many Eastern and Western countries, as players in these countries take part in many international games every year.
A game of Go has many implications (含义) for real life. It represents a square world of round pieces in black and white. There are 181 black pieces and 180 white ones in total. While the board is fixed, the pieces can be placed in millions upon millions of different ways, just as life in the real world may take many turns. The proper placement of each tiny Go piece is similar to how one might solve a difficult problem in life.
Go pays much attention to peaceful competition and coexistence (共存). In a game of Go, the players do not wipe out (消灭) each other's pieces. Instead, they simply try to win a larger share of space while allowing the other side some space. However, in chess and Chinese chess, the players try to wipe out as many of the other side's pieces as possible. The one who forces the other side's commander (主帅) into a dead corner then wins the game. Besides, Go carries deeper cultural and philosophical connotations (哲学内涵).
Wu Qingyuan (1914-2014), a modern Go talent, believed that instead of fighting as enemies, the two players work together to play an excellent game and try to achieve peace finally.

Remember we used to see many fireflies(萤火虫) shining in the grass on summer evenings? Now we are lucky if we see one. Fireflies have become fewer and fewer all over the world because the lights at night keep them away and because there is too little land for them to live on. To bring these little flying friends back into our lives, we can: 1. Keep the grass taller and grow more plants. Fireflies like to live over tall grass or near the high points of plants. 2. Leave dry leaves or dead plants in the garden. Small animals like slugs, snails, and worms live under them. They are fireflies' favorite food. 3. Turn off lights in the garden or by the window. When it is too bright, fireflies don't know if the light is from other fireflies or from lamps. So it is difficult for them to find each other. 4. Build a pond in the yard and keep the water clean. Fireflies like to live around clean water. Let us know if you have any questions. The National Science Center: 123-4567.
