I. Read the passage and do the tasks that follow. (22 points)
Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English but it is difficult to find the best
method. Is it better to study in Britain or America or to study in your own country? The advantages
of going to Britain seem obvious. Firstly, you will be able to listen to the language all the time you
are in the country. You will be surrounded completely by the language wherever you go. Another
advantage is that you have to speak the language if you are with other people. In Italy, it is always
possible, in the class, to speak Italian if you want to and the learning is slower. On the other hand,
there are also advantages to staying at home to study. You don't have to make big changes to your
life. As well as this, it is also a lot cheaper than going to Britain but it is never possible to achieve
the results of living in the UK. If you have a good teacher in Italy, I think you can learn in a more
concentrated way than being in Britain without going to a school. So, in conclusion, I think that if
you have enough time and enough money, the best choice is to spend some time in the UK. This is
simply not possible for most people, so being here in Italy is the only viable option. The most
important thing to do in this situation is to maximise your opportunities: to speak only English in
class and to try to use English whenever possible outside the class.
