17．Although many Chinese students say their knowledge of English grammar is good，most would admit that their spoken English is poor．（16）EHowever，their spoken English does not have to remain poor．I would suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English．
First，（17）B Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary．However，you can speak with a limited vocabulary if your attitude is positive．Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know．
Second，（18）G．Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous．Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY．You want to get your message across，to talk to someone in English，as quickly and as well as you can，even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense，but it doesn't matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowance for any mistakes he hears．
Third，（19）A．You have one mouth but two ears!All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking．
Fourth，（20）C．Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English，they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their spoken English always remains poor．If you have this proactive outlook，then you will see English opportunities wherever you go．
