III. Read the passage and choose the best answer to the question by circling a, b, c or d (0.2 x 5 = 1.0 pt).
Students are always saying to me, "English is so difficult," but is it? Well, in my opinion English is one of the easiest languages to learn for beginners. To be able to talk simply in the past present and future is really easy. When you get to an intermediate level of English things start to get more difficult. For upper intermediate students English becomes quite difficult. 
Let's look at nouns. In French or Spanish, all nouns have to be either male or female, so you don't just have to learn the noun, but you have to learn its gender. In German it is worse, because there are three noun cases, masculine, feminine and neuter, and in Swahili, an African language, there are sixteen! So, nouns are easy to learn.
Let's look at verbs. The verb work is a regular verb as we know. There are only two forms of this verb in the present simple, work and works. Compare this with Italian or Portuguese, where you have to learn a different ending for each pronoun. In the past, you only have one form in English, not six, and in the simple future, you have to use will and the verb, not another six forms, so we've got four forms to learn in English and eighteen in, for example, Spanish.
 Okay, I know it's more complicated than that, and that when you get to the present perfect or the difference between going to and will, things aren't so straightforward, but if you just want to use your verb to say something in the present past or future it's easy. So make the most of this elementary stage in your English language learning programme, because the better you get, the harder it becomes!
1. What is the writer's opinion of the present perfect tense?
a. It's the most difficult tense in English. 	
b. It's as easy as the other tenses. 
c. It's not as easy as the present, past or future. 
d. It's more difficult in English than in other tenses. 
2. What does straightforward mean in this passage?
a. Difficult. 	b. Easy. 	c. Regular. 	d. Irregular. 
3. What is the writer's advice to students?
a. Study hard at elementary level. 	
b. Don't study after elementary level. 
c. Enjoy learning English before it gets difficult. 	
d. Start to learn more difficult English. 
4. What is this passage about?
a. How to study English. 	
b. The differences between English and other languages. 
c. How easy English is. 
d. The wrong opinion some people have of how difficult English is to learn. 
5. How does the difficulty of learning English change?
a. As you learn more it gets more difficult. 	
b. As you learn more it gets easier. 
c. If you study hard it doesn't change. 
d. For some people it changes, for others it doesn't.
