Finn can’t speak Italian. [br]
Listen to the conversation, mark each statement as either true (T)or false (F)according to your listening.
Finn: Hi Rob-or should I say " ni hao" Rob?
Rob: Your Chinese is very good Finn but I wonder how many more Chinese words you know? 1,000 perhaps?
Finn: In Chinese: " Not really, I just know a little ..."
Rob: Now you’re just showing off! Not being able to speak a foreign language is a bit of a British trait—or a particular British characteristic. We’re not very good at it although Finn is an exception, he can speak many foreign languages, can’t you?
Finn: Not that many—a bit of German, some French, Polish a little, Chinese of course, Hokkien, a bit of Japanese ... That’s about it.
Rob: Do you know which is the second most spoken language in England? Is it: A)Polish B)Urdu C)French?
Finn: I think I know this one, Rob. I’m going to say A)Polish.
Rob: OK, well, as always I’ll let you know the answer at the end of programme. So, as a I mentioned, the British are generally considered to be lazy linguists—they just don’t bother to learn about another language.
Finn: I guess the main reason is that when British people travel abound the world they find that English is spoken almost everywhere—so they get by—they survive on just using their native language.
Rob: Well, recently a campaign was launched for those of us who didn’t share your enthusiasm or have the opportunity to learn another language. The 1,000 Words campaign is encouraging everyone in the UK to learn at least 1,000 words of another language. It hopes to help Britain increase international trade.
Finn: The group says that a vocabulary of 1,000 words would allow a speaker to hold a simple conversation. It sounds like a good idea.
Rob: But Finn, I have a dilemma. There are so many languages in the world, which one should I learn first?
Finn: Maybe you could start with the UK’s second most spoken language.
Rob: Yes, that’s the question I posed earlier: what is Britain’s second most spoken language.
Finn: I said Polish.
Rob: Yes, of course you are right. According to the 2011 census, the answer is Polish. The census also found over 104 different languages are spoken in the UK.

A
解析
推断题。Finn猜测“I guess the main reason is that when British people travel around the world they find that English is spoken almost everywhere--so they get by—they survive on just using their native language.”由此可见,Finn认为全球各地都会说英语,讲其他语言对于英国人来说没有必要。因此,该判断正确。
