1. Interviewer: Why do you study English, Antonio?
Antonio: Well, it will be necessary in my future job as a personal assistant.
So, I do a course in English at an adult institution here in Madrid.
I’ve been studying for three months here.
Interviewer: Which skills do you focus on?
Antonio: I mainly need to practise speaking, writing and reading, of course.
All in all I’m doing quite well, but I find the grammar difficult. I am
not saying I hate it – I just don’t like doing the exercises. Though I
feel you can’t really learn a language if you don’t understand how it
works. I mean, the way sentences are structured. The thing that
annoys me most is that I’m always mixing verb forms.
2. Interviewer: Why do you study English, Natasha?
Natasha: I have studied English for 5 years. Honestly I had many reasons.
First, my parents wanted me to learn it, then I got interested in
movies and music, so I read a lot of magazines. Finally, I want to
travel and meet people. I mainly focus on speaking now.
Interviewer: How do you learn it? Do you have any special methods?
Natasha: I do a lot of conversations – I talk in English with friends and even
to myself in the shower. I learn a lot of new words. I believe fluent
English is absolutely impossible with limited vocabulary, so I keep
a vocabulary notebook. A good way to learn new words is write
them on pieces of paper and stick them on the walls in my flat. Each
time I pass them by, I look at them and read. I also include one or
two phrases with these words.
3. Interviewer: Why do you study English, Christina?
Christina: It was a part of my school programme, but I wasn’t very much
interested in it. So now I am taking extra classes to improve my
skills, I would say. And, um, I really enjoy it.
Interviewer: How do you study English?
Christina: I watch a lot of video, education programmes and films. They give
me a real taste of the British people and their way of life. Of course
I don’t understand every word but I find it very useful to watch and
guess. Besides, I can stop or rewind the tape to listen again to the
part I haven’t understood or even to read the script.
Discuss
How do you learn a foreign language?
