D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答问题）（12 分）
Clara Prado has worked as an English teacher for more than twenty years. In a recent interview, she told us her
own experience of learning and teaching English.
How did you learn English yourself?
I started learning English when I was about six or seven years old. A new language school opened near my
home. I started attending classes twice a week. I enjoyed these classes. During my teenage years, I attended several
international youth meetings. I also went to Australia as an exchange student. I learned a lot from communicating
with native English speakers.
What’s the best part of teaching English for you?
I have met many wonderful people throughout my career. Teachers are a fun group of people. They often get
excited about a challenge. Many teachers are creative. They almost always find a way to make things work. I’ve
learned a lot from them.
And then there are the students. There is nothing better in life than to see them realize their dreams and
achieve something they have worked hard for.
What suggestions do you always give to your students?
As a language learner you have to be comfortable with making mistakes. The goal is not to be perfect. It’s to
be able to communicate with others. Learning a language can be a lifelong process. No one can learn to speak a
language well overnight. You will be speaking just a little more every day.
What challenges do you think learners face today?
I think the biggest challenge today is the unknown. Technology and many other things are changing fast. We
have no way of knowing what will happen in 10, 20 or 50 years from now, so how can you prepare yourself or
others? Well, you can’t be prepared for everything. But you can equip yourself with creativity and the ability to
keep learning throughout your life and to work with others. Most importantly, you must stay strong and carry on.
57. What is the interview with Clara Prado about?
________________________________________________________________
58. Did Clara Prado start learning English at a young age?
