①Can you speak more than one language?Being able to communicate(沟通)with people in another language is a great way to make friends and feel more confident.
②Language is the way we communicate with each other. It includes speaking,writing and using body language. The United Nations celebrates six of the world's most widely used languages every year,such as French Language Day,on March 20th,Chinese,on April 20th,and Russian,on June 6th. They are good chances to try learning a new language.
③Speaking another language helps you talk to people you may not understand and makes you feel more connected with them. Havana,who is aged 12,says speaking two different languages means she can talk to her relatives in another country. This makes her feel closer to her cousins because they can share their ideas. Learning another language can also increase your confidence. For example,by being able to talk to local people when you travel,you will feel more confident. Studies show that being able to speak two languages also exercises your brain(大脑)and makes you better at concentrating on more than one thing at a time. That means you can easily pay attention to at least two things at a time.
④Alex Rawlings is a language teacher who can speak more than 15 languages. He finds it's easier to learn words that he can hear,rather than just from a vocabulary. "And I've made lots of friends through my languages,"says Rawlings. "The more you learn,the easier it gets. "
