Ликобритании. the question of learning foreign, languages is very important today. foreign languages are requered especially at the present time when progress in science and technology has led to an explosion of knowledge and has contributed to an overflow of information. the total knowledge of mankind is known to double every seven years. foreign languages are needed as the main and the most efficient means of information exchange between the people of our planet.today english is the language of the world. it is the language of progressive science and technology, trade and cultural relations, commerce and business. it is the universal language of international aviation, shipping and sports. it is also the major language of diplomacy.hundreds and undreds of books, magazines and newspapers are printed in english and read all over the world. 75% of the world's mail and 60% of the world telephone calls are in english. half of the world's scientific literature is written in english. english is spoken by more than 350 million people. geographically, it is the most widespread language on earth, second only to chinese in the number of people who speak it.it is the official language of the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland, of the united states of america, of australia and new zealand. english is used as one of the official languages in canada, the republic of south africa and the irish republic. it is also spoken as a second language in many parts of india and africa. the number of second-language speakers may soon exceed the number of native speakers. besides, millions of people study english as a foreign language. in our country english is very popular. it is studied at schools (sometimes even at nursery schools), colleges and universities.what does it mean to know a foreign language? it is not easy to answer this question. americans think that you know a foreign language if native speakers understand you. and nobody cares about your mistakes. but of course nobody can call it "good english" and you can use it only if your contacts with native speakers are rare and not very important. if you are connected with foreign countries very closely, especially through your work, you should have a good command of the language. it means that your pronunciation should be standard, you should speak fluently and without mistakes. and of course you should understand your partner correctly. the latter sometimes is the most difficult part of all. as to spelling, it depends whether you have to write or not. if you do then you should do it correctly too.so far, there is no universal or ideal method of learning languages. everybody has his own way. sometimes it is boring to study grammar or to learn new words. but it is well known that reading books in the original, listening to the bbc news, communicating with english-speaking people will help a lot. when learning a foreign language you learn the culture and history of the native speakers. one must work hard to learn any foreign language.russia is being integrated into the world community and the problem of learning english for the purpose of communication is especially urgent today.

Bad Day

Every day in our lives we have to go through different events, both good and bad. There are days that give us lots of headache, we call them bad days. I’d like to tell you about one of those days.

My morning was no different from those I normally have. However, I knew there is an important test ahead. Our teacher of Maths calls it a final exam of the year. So, you can imagine how important it was for everyone. I spent a week preparing for this test. As I said, my morning went quite well, but since the time I stepped out into the street the minor problems and misfortunes began.

At first, I realized that I’d forgotten to take my lunch box, so I had to return. As people in my country say, coming back home can be a portent of bad luck. And that’s exactly how it worked for me on that day. I came back and went towards the school again. It is twenty minutes away from my home. On a way it started to rain. I guess it’s needless to say that I was without an umbrella. Luckily my anorak was in the bag. Its hood saved me from the heavy rain.

When I got to school I realized I was late for test. My teacher doesn’t normally let the latecomers to enter the classroom. This time she was in good mood and decided to make an exception. I wish she hadn’t though, as the test turned out to be really difficult. I should confess, Maths is not my favourite subject. I prefer humanitarian sciences instead, whereas my best friend and classmate Liza prefers mathematical sciences. So, we try to help each other in case there is a difficult topic. However this time was different. Liza was angry with me as we had a big argument a few days ago. For that reason, she refused to help me.

In the end, I did badly in the test and was rather sad. I thought the second part of the day would be a little better, but as ill luck would have it, my mom gave away my favourite kitten. She said she didn’t want any pets running around the house. As you see, bad days happen and they can be indeed upsetting
