There are about fifteen hundred languages in the world. But only a few of them are very important. English is one of them. Many, many 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 many people are learning it as a foreign language. Many millions of people are trying to do so. Is it easy or difficult to learn English? Different people may have different answers. Have you ever noticed ads(广告) of this kind in the newspapers or magazines? “Learn English in six weeks, or give your money back…” “Easy and funny…” “Our records and tapes help you master English in a month”. Of course, it never happened quite like that.
The only language that seems easy to learn is the mother tongue. We should remember that we all learned our own language well when we were children. If we could learn English in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. Think of what a small child does. He listens to what people say. He tries what he hears.
So it is hard to say that learning English is easy. We must do a lot of practice. And practice needs great efforts and takes much time. Good teachers, record, tapes, books, and dictionaries will be helpful, but they cannot do the student’s work for him.How many languages are very important in the world?

The sun says he is stronger than the wind. The wind says he is stronger than the sun.
A man is walking down the street with a hat and coat on.
The sun says, “Let’s see who can make the man take off his hat and coat. If you can do that, you are stronger than me.”
Now the wind begins to blow（吹）. But the harder he blows， the tighter（更紧地） the man holds his hat and coat. The wind can’t make the man take off his hat and coat.
Now the sun tries. He shines（照耀） brightly. Soon the man takes off his hat. Then the sun shines more brightly, and the man takes off his coat.
So the wind says, “That’s all. You are stronger than me.”
