China Youth says that ore and ore girl students have coe into colleges(大学) to study in the recent few years. As we know, once the nuber of boys was larger than that of girls and boys did uch better than girls in our country for a long tie. Now, things have changed a lot.

There are about fifteen hundred languages in the world. But only a few of the are very iportant. English is one of the. any, any people use it, not only in England and the USA, but also in other parts of the world. About 200,000,000 people speak it as their own language. It is difficult to say how any people are learning it as a foreign language. any illions of people are trying to do so. Is it easy or difficult to learn English? Different people ay have different answers.

So it is hard to say that learning English is easy. We ust do a lot of practice. And practice needs great efforts and takes uch tie. Good teachers, record, tapes, books, and dictionaries will be helpful, but they cannot do the student’s work for hi.
