consideration Firstly in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn their mother tongue naturally 1 A native speaker of Spanish for example will find Portuguese much easier to learn than a native speaker of Chinese for example because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish while Chinese is very different 72 The greater the differences between the second language and our first the harder it will be for most people to learn 3 Teachers and the circumstances in which the language is learned also 用心 爱心 专心3 play an important role as well as each learner s motivation for learning If people learn a language because they need to use it professionally they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day to day life Apparently British diplomats and other embassy staff have found that the second hardest language is Japanese which will probably come as no surprise to many but the language that they have found to be the most problematic is Hungarian which has 35 forms of a nouns according to whether it is subject object etc 4 In the case of Hungarian for British learners it is not a question of the writing system which uses a similar alphabet but the grammatical complexity though native speakers of related languages may find it easier while struggling with languages that the British find relatively easy No language is easy to learn well though languages which are related to our first language are easier Learning a completely different writing system is a huge challenge but that does not necessarily make a language more difficult than another 5 A In this case first language can affect learning a second language B Therefore it is difficult to gain a good knowledge of every language C Some people seem to learn languages readily while others find it very difficult D This does not mean that Hungarian is the hardest language to learn for everyone E Individuals from different cultures will find different languages more difficult F It is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most difficult language in the world G So the question of how hard a language is to learn is only relevant when learning a second language 1 5 GACEF 用心 爱心 专心4 3 根据短文内容 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项 选项中有两项为多余选 项 Being a good student doesn t mean you have to drop all social activities and dive into your books It is
