26、阅读短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

In school all over the world most boys and girls are learning a second language. Everybody knows his own language, but another one is very useful, especially when we travel to other countries. If we go to France, we ought to be able to speak French, and in Germany people will expect us to understand German.

How many languages are there in the world? These are about fifteen hundred, but many of them are not very important. English is one of the most important because so many people use it, not only in England and the USA, but in other parts of the world. About 200,000,000 people speak it as their own language, and another 200,000,000 use it as a second language. It is difficult to say how many people are learning it. Many millions of schoolboys and schoolgirls are trying to do so.

Which is the best way to learn a second language? We should remember that we all learned our own language well when we were children. If we could learn a second language in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. Think of what children do. They listen to what people say and try to imitate (模仿) what they hear. When they want something, they have to ask for it. They are using the language, talking in it, and thinking in it all the time. If people had to use a second language all the time, they would learn it quickly.

It is important to remember, also, that we learn our own language by hearing people speak it, not by seeing what they write.We imitate what we hear. In school, although you learn to read and write as well as to hear and speak, it is best to learn all new words through the ear. You can read them, spell them, and write them later.
