2.Read the passage and choose the best option
When you hear how I learned a foreign language, you have to remember a few things In 1993, when I was starting to learn English, no one had heard of the internet I wasn't able to read websites on topics that I found interesting or follow blogs And I have no idea how I decided which movies to see without my favourite movie review website My reading practice was limited All I had were the few books on sale locally For listening practice, I only had the news and cartoons on cable TV People bought and rented VHS videos but in Poland there was no spoken English on them The only way to hear that was to visit the movies
My dictionaries were all in book form until I received my first PC dictionary It came on at least six disks and had unhelpful explanations and few example sentences It doesn't sound very useful but I loved it because of its ability to work with other programs and find English words more quickly Today, computerised dictionaries have simple explanations and lots of examples If I were a complete beginner learning English today, I'd spend hours, on the web, reading about my favourite topics, downloading up-to-date movies, emailing English-speaking friends and posting comments on forums
