There are about fifteen hundred languages in the world. But only a few of them are very important. English is one of these. Many, many people use it, not only in England and the USA, but also in other parts of the world. About 200,000,000 people speak it as their own language. It is difficult to say how many people are learning, it as a foreign language. Many millions of people are trying to do so. Is it easy or difficult to learn English? Different people may have different answers. Have you ever noticed ads（广告）of this kind in the newspapers or magazines? “Learn English in six weeks, or give your money back…”, “Easy and funny…”, “Our records and tapes help you master（掌握）English in a month”.
