Learning a foreign language is, in some ways, like learning how to fly. There are some differences, but there is a very important similarity. It is this learning how to do these things needs a lot of practice. It is never enough to read a book on how to fly a plane. A book can give you a lot of information about how to fly, but if you only read that book, then try to fly without any practice, you will kill yourself. The same is true of learning a foreign language. For example, can you speak English well without having a lot of practice? “ Practice makes perfect” is what every learner of a foreign language should know.
11.Learning a foreign language and learning to fly are the same in an important way
12.Information about flying from books is enough for someone to fly
13.It is dangerous to try to fly without any real practice
14.Talking to a native speaker can be a good way to speak English well
