A. Reading — Difficult languages
Read the passage below then pick out ONE best option (A, B, C or D).
Which is the most difficult language to learn? It is not easy to answer because of many factors to think through.
First of all, a first language can affect learning a foreign language. An English person learns German more easily than Chinese as German is similar to English, but Chinese is very different.
Having purposes, people learn a language readily. If people learn a language to get better job opportunities, they often learn it faster than people studying a language with no direct use in their day-to-day life. To study effectively, before learning a foreign language, people usually decide on what they learn it for.
Not knowing cultures, people find learning languages more difficult. Since language connects closely to culture, learners will have to try hard if not understanding the culture. Accordingly, knowing a country's culture makes you a better learner of that country's language. And remember, to avoid misusing the language sometimes, learners need to study about the changes in the language.
