As an English，I can speak three languages-English，German and French，so do you think the British people are very good language learners？The fact is that they aren't．

Some statistics （数据） from the survey done by the European Commission （欧盟委员会）showed that 62% of the British people only speak English.38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more．Compared with the British people，56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more．From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe．

And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language．Many European people can have a conversation in English．That's why my people don't think it is necessary to learn a foreign language．

In Britain，students are not required to learn a foreign language．That means learning a foreign language is only an option at school．In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14．So why don't students continue learning foreign languages at school？Because they think it is more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history．

To solve this situation，the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school．One way is to start learning it at a much younger age．Another one is to give school children more choices．

Changing the British attitude （态度） to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decides to try!

On my recent trip to Sydney with my parents，we visited the Wildlife Park．

The Wildlife Park has lots of different animals and birds．Some are native （当地的） to Australia and can only be found there．There are over 600 animals there，including kangaroos，koalas and crocodiles （鳄鱼）．They are kept in their natural environment．I like the Wildlife Park better than a zoo where most of the animals are in cages （笼子）．

Friendship Day is a great day for celebrating friendship．It falls on the first Sunday of August every year．Celebrating the festival was firstly started by the US in 1935．But now thisdoesn't only happen in the US．People in other countries are interested in it，too．

The idea of spending the day with friends was spread all over the world．With more and more countries joining in the celebrations，Friendship Day soon became an international festival．

Between 1936 and 1997，Friendship Day didn't have a symbol （象征），like Santa Claus for Christmas．However，in 1997，the United Nations named Winnie the pooh as the word's Ambassador （大使） of Friendship．

The traditional celebrations include activities such as meeting with friends and exchanging （交换） cards，flowers and gifts．Some people may have parties with their friends．Some may have lunch or dinner together．Others may hang out or go to the movies with friends on this special day．These are popular among all age groups from teenagers to old people．

Although Friendship Day and its celebrations may have changed over the years，the basic idea behind the festival remains the same．People enjoy the moment they spend together and express love and care for their friends．

It was already 8：30 in the morning．Lin Tao，a 14﹣year﹣old schoolboy，still didn't show up at school．He was often later for school!The teacher called his father and got to know he played computer games online late the night before and couldn't get up that morning．In fact，he had played online games since the age of 11．He almost dropped out of school last year．

Lin Tao is not alone．Information from China Internet Center shows that the number of teenage Internet users in China had been about 170 million by the end of December，2016．Many of them，like Lin Tao，spend too much time playing computer game online．

12：00 at night and 8：00 in the morning．If they are still playing during the time，the game companies will lock them out．

Many people think that the regulation can surely better protect Chinese young game players online，while others doubt whether it can successful stop them from playing games too much．"More and more people come to know that playing online games too much not only brings teenagers healthy and study problems，but also makes them depressed （沮丧的） and lonely，"Tong Xiaojun，a director from a university，told CCTV．We need support from the whole society to solve the problem．"
