Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions .
Learning a new language is always an excellent idea. It provides you incredible benefits that come
with the backing of science. One of the most useful languages to learn is English. Learning a second
language is one of the best ways to keep your brain active and challenged. Studies have shown that the
brain undergoes changes in electrical activity and even structure and size while learning a foreign
language, and that do not occur when people learn any other type of task or skill. Learning another
language offers important cognitive benefits at any age, helping to keep the mind active and even
reducing the risk of mental diseases and slowing mental decline later in life. When learning English as a
second language, you approach new ways to think and express yourself through written and spoken
words. Learning multiple languages can help you communicate more clearly in any language as you learn
more about how language itself works and how to use it to promote ideas and reach out to others in
different social and working situations. The world may not have a global language, but English is the
default option for countless forms of communication across the globe. That’s why one of the benefits of
learning English is that it significantly boosts your hiring potential. In addition, it can offer you
