1． How Long Will It Take to Learn English 学会英语要多长时间
【背景介绍】
初到美国的中国学生，往往要先过语言关，然后才可以选修其他的课程。下面这段对话就是一个正在进修语言的中国学生的困惑。
A: How long will it take to learn English? Will I be able to take other courses next semester 1 or will English take up all of my time?
B: It’s hard to say. Language is n’t like other studies.
A: You mean I could finish this course and still not know English? You’ve got to be kidding!
B: I’m not kidding. Learning 2 a language is a question of forming language habits and that takes time.
A: So do we have to stay in this English class forever?
B: No. You just have to stay here long enough to get some orientation 3. Then you go on practicing and learning outside. A lot of learning depends on your personal motivation.
A: So it’s really the same story. Practice, practice, practice and more practice is the only way to learn a language.
B: You said it.
