There are about fifteen hundred languages in the world。But only a few of them are very important．English is one of these．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 peopie 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 this．
The only language that seems easy to learn is t11e mother tongue．We should remember that
we all learned our own language well when we were children．If we could 1ea m English in the

So，it is hard to say that learning English is easy．We must do a Iot ofpractice．And practice needs great effort and takes much time．Good teachers，records，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?

Last Tuesday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I wanted to have a rest before catching the train. So I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into a station coffee shop with long tables to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to keep a place, and went to get a cup of coffee.
When I came back with my coffee, there was someone sitting near to me. It was one of those strange-looking young men, with dark glasses, torn clothes, and long hair. But I wasn't surprised at such a young man. What surprised me most was that he had started to eat my chocolate!
I was rather uneasy about him, but I didn't want to get into trouble. I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me. Then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didn't say anything. When he took a third one, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, "Well, I shall have the last piece." And I got it.
The boy gave me a strange look and then stood up. As he left, he shouted out, "This woman is crazy!" Everyone looked at me. That was embarrassing（令人难堪） enough.
