Something You Would Like to Learn
Tell me about something you can't do that you would like to learn.
You should say:
what you would like to learn
why you would like to learn it
whether it is a common thing to learn
and say whether it would be difficult to learn it.
• French: romantic + melodious language
• Fascinated by French culture
• I would love to visit Paris.
• I will study in Canada: people speak French in Quebec.
• They say French is difficult but possible to learn if I study hard.
I would really like to learn French. In China, everyone is compelled to study English but as a
student I wasn't given the opportunity to study a second foreign language. We believe that French
is a melodious language that sounds really romantic.
A lot of Chinese are fascinated by French movies, culture and romance. In my mind, France is
really a wonderful place, thanks to its fashion industry and amazing food.
And actually it is true that I'd love to travel to Paris someday. It would be so cool to get to see
the Eiffel Tower and the other famous monuments in the French capital.
But I also believe that French could be a useful language for my future as I am eager to
immigrate to Canada, and who knows where in Canada I will end up working. If I ever work in
Quebec, English might not be sufficient. French is spoken in Quebec. I believe that sooner or later
I will sit down and study it.
People tell me that French is quite complex to master. I've heard that the grammar is much
more difficult than English and the pronunciation seems to come from the throat. It sounds very
challenging. However, if I stick to it and practice as much as I did when I learned English, I don't
see why I couldn't make it.
1. Do you think that children should learn practical and artistic skills at school?
Yes, definitely. I think it's important for students to learn about the arts, like music and drawing,
because it can help them improve their imaginations. In addition, such skills could be useful for
their future. They could learn how to appreciate beauty. It would give them ideas on how to decorate
their house in the future, or how to select different kinds of music for different events or moods they
experience. If they end up working in marketing, hotel management, or the entertainment industry,
artistic skills would come in handy (= be useful). I know that in America, students are encouraged
to choose a fun class from a variety , of choices like carpentry (= wood work), ceramics (= making
pottery), or calligraphy (= art of writing). In this way, students can realize that not everything you
learn at school comes from books. On top of this, I also think that learning how to write and speak

English is a very practical skill in today's world. Teachers should do their best to make students
speak as much as possible. You know, in my country, we are often taught how to read and how to
use English grammar, but we don't often get a chance to speak the language.
