People always say that the earlier one learns a language, the 26 it is to do so, in theory it is that, 27 , in my opinion, that refers to spoken language. Capability(能力) to practice some essential(基本的) 28 of a language and read between the lines can only be trained through proper reading ways and hard work 29 .So spending money to help 30 learn English may 31 u p with disappointment. It is likely that the more you 32 ,the more you are let down.

A
Everyday, 340 million people speak it. One billion people are learning it and it is said that by 2050, half of the world's population will be using it. What are we talking about? That global language—English.
The English language started in Britain in the 5th century. It is a mixed language. It was built up when German. Scandinavian and French invaders settled in England and created a common language for communication.
Today it is the official language of the UK, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada,
South Africa and Ireland as well as many islands in the Caribbean . Many other countries and regions use it for politics and business, for example, India. Pakistan, Nigeria and the Philippines. English is also one of the official languages of Hong Kong.
But global advertising and pop music mean that in most countries, you will see or hear some English. Thanks to McDonalds, we all know about "burgers". "fries" and "milkshakes". Songs by Madonna, Britney Spears and Celine Dion are in English. We can sing along, even if we do not understand what we are singing!
English is a messy (杂乱的) language. Every year, dictionaries include new words that talk about popular culture, for example, computer-related words such as "blogging", "download" and "chatroom". Also included are words that teenagers use. Who does not know "cool", "OK" and “hello” ?
Other languages also influence English. Many English words come from French. Words like "cafe" and expressions like "c'est la vie" (that is life) are all part of the English language. On the other hand, the French language includes English words like "le weekend" and "le camping". German words are also part of English. Words like "kindergarten" come from the German language.
Recently, British people have become interested in "yoga". But the word comes from an ancient Hindu language in India.

In order to kn ow a foreign language thoroughly（完全地），four things are necessary． First， we must understand the language when we hear it spoken． Secondly，we must be able to speak it ourselves， with confidence（自信） and without hesitation （犹豫）． Thirdly， we must do much reading． Finally， we must be able to write it． We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar．
There are no shortcuts to success in language learning． A good memory is a great help， but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book． It is not much learning by heart long lists（一览表） of words and their meanings，
studying the dictionary and so on． We must learn by using the language．
