We will then complete the listening task on page 19. Next, students will work together to complete a speaking part 3 task, and then the following speaking part 4 questions:

  • How important is it nowadays to speak more than one language? Why?
  • Do you think that some languages or regional dialects are dying. Do you think they should be preserved?
  • Some people think that one day there will be just one language in the world. Do you agree with this? Would the world be a better place?
  • How do you think the world would be different if there was only one language?
  • Some people say learning a foreign language is pointless, due to the rapid advancements of translation technology. What do you think about this?
