英语阅读理解
Two out of three teenagers in Britain have a desire to work abroad but most of them don't speak foreign languages.Government figures show that 58% of 11—18-year-olds in the UK have no foreign language skills,and this has a negative effect on the economy.Tom Burridge reports:
Fact or fiction Most British people are lazy when it comes to learning a foreign language.
VOX POPS(公众典论):
—Fact.
-Why do you say that
-Because we don't need to.Because everybody else speaks English.
-Foreigners make it too easy for you because they speak English when you're abroad.
Those views on the streets of London are backed up by figures out this week.The British Government found that 58% of 11- 18-year-olds in the UK do not speak a second language.However,two thirds of teenagers in Britain want to work abroad when they're older-the countries of choice being Italy,Spain,France or China.The British Government admits there is a problem-that not enough young people continue learning a second language when they leave school.Teresa Tinley from the country's national center of languages says it has serious effects on the economy:We are in a competitive global market and we need to be able to speak to our customers and our potential customers.Our trade is very much linked towards English-speaking countries.Our research shows that our exports are suffering.
The research is seen as further evidence that most young people guess they can get by in a foreign country by speaking English-something the authorities in London want to change.
