Today, we’ll look at another problem that is troubling the British society. It seems that young people in Britain today are losing the ability to communicate clearly and accurately in standard English, and the British government is so concerned that it bas set up a committee to "promote the use of better English".
However, do Britain’s young people really have a problem in expressing themselves clearly? A study published in October suggests that there is real cause for concern; it showed that among the UK’s 15-year-olds, only 22 percent of boys and 28 percent of girls feel comfortable using standard English in formal situations such as at school and in interviews. Some people think that British pupils leaving school are not as good at using languages as pupils from other countries, partly because, they don’t spend very much time talking in class. There is some reason for being concerned about the levels of fluency and willingness to speak in public, even if "public "just means in front of the rest of the class.
The committee is made up of a range of people from the world of business, education, sport, the arts and the media. It will be chaired by the broadcaster, Trevor McDonald. He is a widely respected and popular figure. Originally from a small village in Trinidad in the West Indias, Trevor McDonald learned perfect English by reading the Oxford Dictionary every day and listening to the BBC World Service. The Government hopes that by his example Trevor McConald will be able to help persuade children to make an effort to speak good English.

What’s the percentage of boys and girls who don’t feel comfortable using standard English?
通过选项可知本题询问百分比。本题关键句为“only 22 percent of boys and 28 percent of girls feel comfortable using standard English in formal situations”。只有22%的男孩和28%的女孩觉得在正式场合说英语无不适感。因此有78%的男孩和72%的女孩感到不适,故正确答案为C)。
