Talking about a language learning experience

1 Read the text below about Sam’s language learning experience. What foreign
language did you learn? Was it easy or difficult to learn it? In groups, talk
about your language learning experience. Make a list in your notebook of the
words you need to talk about and that you don’t know in English.
I studied German for three years when I was in secondary school. I thought I was
quite good at it, but that was before I had an opportunity to interact with other
German native speakers. I believe that you can’t really ‘know’ a language until you
have spoken to a native speaker in that language to see if they understand you. This
5 way is very helpful to see what you can do in the language.
Another thing that helped me was having a teacher from Germany, because that
way I learnt a lot about the culture, too. The most difficult thing about German is
that there are three versions of the article ‘the’. One is feminine, one is masculine
and the other is neither this, nor that. I keep getting them mixed up! I think the
10 easiest part of learning German was the alphabet, since it is so close to English. The
letters just have different sounds.
I think that, overall, German is easier for English speakers to learn because there are
so many things in common between the two languages. I’m going to try and learn
Arabic now, and I think that’s going to be more difficult!
2 Write down notes. Answer these questions to help you.

a. What have you found easy / difficult / helpful about learning a foreign
language?
b. What are the things (apart from language learning in the classroom) that
helped you learn a foreign language?
c. What other languages would you like to learn in the future? Do you think it’s
going to be difficult? Why / Why not?

c. You must use your body language to communicate better.
1
SPEAK WITH YOUR BODY WELL

There’s a difference between what we say and what people understand
from the words we utter. When we speak, we also communicate and deliver
messages with our face, our hands and even with our whole body. We call
this kind of communication body language or non-verbal communication.
5 Body language also includes hand gestures, facial expressions and eye
contact. Psychologists estimate that almost 80% of our daily communication
with people is non-verbal. Our feelings, moods and attitudes are expressed
better with our body language than with the words we say.
For instance, if you say something positive with a negative facial expression,
10 people won’t believe your words as much as they will believe your non-
verbal facial expression. As a result, your words will not successfully deliver
your message. So if you want to succeed in communicating your thoughts
and feelings, you must learn to “speak” with your body well!
2 According to the writer: (1 mark each)

c. Money can make you happy for a lifetime.

MONEY CANNOT BUY HAPPINESS

Happiness is a state of mind that we feel within ourselves. So an object should
not identify that happiness. An object can make us happy for a moment but not
for a lifetime. That’s why, I think that money cannot buy someone’s happiness.
When I was young, I used to think that money made everything possible and
5 better. However one day, my family lost their money and we could no longer
do the things we desired to do. So we were obliged to start watching the way
we spent our money. This particular experience taught me that I didn’t need
money to be happy. My happiness comes from my family and friends. It is a
feeling that comes from within.
10 Nowadays, a lot of people think that money is everything. They haven’t figured
out the truth yet. Some never will because they think that money is happiness,
so they live all their life miserable. Some other people find out the truth as I did
and try to change things by giving away money to charities and to the people in
need.
