EJERCICIO DE COMPRENSIÓN ESCRITA:
TEXT 1
Business English
It is said that English speakers fall into three groups: those that have learnt it as a mother tongue, those that have learnt it as a second language through exposure in a society where it is spoken, and those that are forced to use it for administrative, professional or educational purposes.
This third group, along with the supremacy of English over German in the business world, has created a boom in institutions offering English for Business. However, the average business person, while happily accepting the challenge, does not have any idea how long the process may take. Duncan Ford, a specialist in language teaching theory, partly puts the blame on misleading publicity and says that you have to think in terms of hundreds of hours while people still think learning a language is a three-hour-a-week job.
According to him, the key is lots of variety of the activities and adapting to the dynamics of the class. The communicative approach has replaced the old-fashioned note-taking method and for those who think that a couple of hours with their latest CD-ROM is a substitute for English classes, they should think again. While seen as a useful back-up, they are no teacher replacement.
| 1 | COMPREHENSION How do people in the second group learn to speak English? | ||
| It is a natural process, because they live in a place where English is a usual language | |||
| They have to learn it by studying and going to school | |||
| People in the second group don't learn English because they don't need it | |||
| They have Englishas their mother language | |||
| They have to use it for varied reasons, such as getting a job or studying at a university, and learn it by means of teachers | |||
| 2 | COMPREHENSION Is learning English a short process? Why? | ||
| Yes, because there are lots of institutions offering it | |||
| No, specialists say you need hundreds of hours | |||
| No, because you don't have it as a mother tongue | |||
| Yes, if you use the most recent CD-ROMs | |||

| 5 | COMPREHENSION True or False? Mr Ford considers three lessons a week is enough to learn a language | ||
