A易读度★★☆☆☆
I traveled to Canada one summer with students from my French class. It was my first trip outside the United States. It was exciting because I could finally speak the foreign language I was learning and I could hear native speakers (说母语的人).
Canada is an excellent place to practice French for two reasons.
First, most people in the French-speaking part of Canada can speak both French and English. I can use French when I’m ready. There wouldn’t be much pressure. If I have something very important to communicate, they can understand me if I speak English.
Second, people there like it when you try to speak French, even if you only speak a little. They hold French in higher esteem (认为……更高贵) than English.
Interestingly enough, although I wanted to communicate in my newly learnt language, I soon found I could hardly use any of the words I have learnt when I tried to use them. We learnt the accent (口音) used in France, but the accent used in Canada is different from what we learnt. It sounded a little strange to me. And many words are completely different.
Although I didn’t get many opportunities (机会) to practice French in Canada, I’m still thankful for this experience. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
( )51. Where does the writer come from?
A. France. B. Canada. C. The USA. D. The UK.
( )52. Why did the writer think the summer trip was exciting? A. Because traveling was his favorite hobby.
B. Because he could stay with his friends for a long time. C. Because he could speak French and hear native speakers.
