       5. What do you think are the benefits of a child having a pet?

       1. Do you think it is important to know more than one language?

　　Yes. Knowing another language helps you understand people of other cultures better. Because of the increasingly close relationship between people from different countries, we are communicating with other countries in a much more frequent rate than before. Knowing more than one language can also give people a great edge in job hunting. As you know, many foreign enterprises require their employees to know at least languages of 2 countries.

       2. Do Chinese people have many chances to practice oral English?

　　Yes, I think so. As you can see, training schools are springing up in a faster pace than years before. Students can take all kinds of English courses there. As a result, it is quite easy for them to find a compatible partner for practicing English. Also, there are now many TV programs which are broadcasted in English. Many people like watching them and imitating English people talking.

       3. Would you say it's difficult language to learn?

　　Talking about Japanese, I don't think it's a difficult language to learn because it bears much resemblance with my mother tongue Chinese. Lots of characters are the same. So I can easily understand the meaning. As for English, it's a little bit difficult for me cuz I am not used to the pronunciation of words.
