older,it can be more difficult to learn a new language,though.Children and adults learn new languages in different ways.For children,language is their life.They study for thousands of hours every year,because they need to learn languages to become part of their communities.Adults,on the other hand,are already part of a language community.Learning a new language means becoming part of another language community,and adults rarely get the chance to practice as much as young children do.Moreover,children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes.This gives them freedom when learning to be daring and confident.Adults,however,often feel pressured to be perfect when learning a new language.This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.When young children learn a new language,they come to see various languages as a“normal part of society.This mindset 思维模式 helps them embrace learning a new language without feeling like theyre doing something unusual or“too hard.So if you want to learn a new language,go for it!Its never too late to learn a new language.If youre older,it may take more work,but it can be done.If youre a young child,though,now is the time to step out and learn a new language!第 10 页 28.By“Language is their life ,the author means that children .A.cant live without language B.lead a happy life every day

the city to see the sights.They are quite comfortable and 第 12 页 easy to ride.You can often rent a bicycle for an entire day for around$15.However,if you wish to ride on some of the rural paths,a
