Reading 1

Today, a lot of people want to learn English but it is difficult to find the best way. Is it better to study English in the UK (聯合王國), the US, or in your own country?

Multiple Choice

What is that paragraph about?

• How many people learn English.

• The best way to learn English

• English schools in the UK and US.

Reading 2

The advantages (好處) of going to the UK or US are obvious.

You will be able to listen to the language all the time you are in the country.

Also, you probably have to speak English to get things in the UK or US.

Multiple Choice

What is one of the advantages of going to the UK or the US to learn English?

• There are no Italians in the UK.

• You will have to speak English there.

• The language schools are better.

Reading 3

On the other hand, there are also advantages to staying at home to study. You don't have to change your life if you stay in your country. Even so, it is impossible to study English at home better than in the UK or US.

Multiple Choice

What is one of the advantages of staying in your country to learn English?

• The teachers aren't very good in the UK or US.

• You have to work too hard in the UK or US.

• You don't have to change your life.

Reading 4

So, in conclusion, I think that if you have enough time and enough money, the best choice

is to spend some time in the US or UK.

This is not possible for some people. In that case, staying in Taiwan can be okay. Just try to speak only English in class and use English outside the class.

Multiple Choice

People who don't have a lot of time and money should...

• Learn English in the UK or US.

• Speak English in class more often.

• Go to Italy to learn English.
