Learning a New Language

A Larry Humes

I was never any good at learning foreign languages, so when I heard that we were going to move to Spain for

two years, I wasn’t too thrilled. How was I going to make new friends if I couldn’t speak the language? And

worse, at school they’d probably make me repeat a year or even two because I wouldn’t understand what the

teacher was saying in class. Then Mrs Rodriguez, our Spanish teacher at school, offered to come to our house

a couple of times a week and give me extra lessons. The lessons at home were nothing like our classes at

school. We spent the whole time talking. At first she did most of the talking. She told me about her life and her

interests. But soon I was picking up lots of vocabulary – not difficult words really, but the kind you can use

every day. And then I began to feel more confident and started using some of the words I had heard to tell her

about myself. I can’t tell you what a difference those lessons with Mrs Rodriguez made.

B Patricia Long

I was very happy in my job. I was a psychologist and working with young children. But then, one summer, I

took a trip to Denmark with a friend. We were just going for a month or so to see the sights and after the trip, I

was going to go back home. But life is full of surprises. In a short time, I fell in love with the country and the

people and when my friend went back to England, I stayed on in Denmark. When I had no more money left, I

knew I had to find work but I had no idea what I could do because I didn’t speak Danish. But then it occured

to me that I could teach English. Of course, I didn’t know anything about how people learn a foreign language

or how to teach one, so I took a course and afterwards I got a job teaching English to adults. I never did go

back to England. I met a Danish guy, got married and I’ve been a teacher here in Denmark ever since.

C James Kelly

Someone once asked me how I started writing books to help students learn English. I think the fact that my

family moved around a lot when I was young must have had something to do with it. In Montreal, where I was

born, people spoke English and French, and I had to learn both languages at school. Then, when I started high

school we moved to Italy. I really wanted to go to a local school, but my parents thought it would be best if I

went to a school where they spoke English. In the end, I went to a British school where I really didn’t learn

much Italian. Luckily, I picked up a lot just from everyday life in the city. It’s not that different from French,

really. After a few years in Rome, we moved to Greece because of my father’s job. But there I was sent to a

local school and picked up Greek in no time at all. Anyway, I think having to learn all those languages made

me very aware of how I could help other people learn them.

A READING

You are going to read a magazine article about insects as food. Five paragraphs have been removed. Choose the correct paragraph (A-F) that fits each gap (1-5). There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use.

THE INSECT ALTERNATIVE

Here are the facts. Global meat production has tripled over the last four decades. As the demand for animal products

rises sharply with economic growth, we’ll need to work out how to produce enough protein for the world’s growing

population, expected to reach nine billion by 2050.

A growing number of people believe that insects might be the answer, pointing out that insects are rich in protein and

make a sensible and environmentally friendly alternative to other livestock forms. Not only is less space needed to

raise them, but they also emit lower levels of greenhouse gases. What is more, some species of insects are able to

resist drought and may require less water than cows, pigs or poultry.

Yet in Modern Europe, insects have never been commonly perceived as a food source. Some speculate this could

be because insects thrive in hot, wet tropical climates. The first people to populate the northern latitudes came in the

Ice Age. In such cold temperatures, there was little chance humans could survive by eating the few insects to be

found. However, over the course of human evolution, the practice of eating insects became a phenomenon in the

tropics, where they were abundant.

Some enthusiasts, however, believe that human food tastes can change. The example often raised is that of sushi.

When this Japanese dish of raw fish was first introduced into the West decades ago, only a few curious people tried it –

but they found it delicious! Their enthusiasm, combined with a drop in its price and an increase in its availability, was

what eventually resulted in the widespread popularity of this unusual dish.

Meanwhile, insect farmers in North America, who focus mainly on raising crickets, are preparing for the change they

are sure will come. In 2014, the recently founded North American Edible Insect Coalition had its first meeting. The

coalition consists of people involved in the industry, as well as insect-eating supporters and researchers. Together,

they hope to explore and expand the use of insects in human food and animal feed through research and improved

production methods.

Clearly, it may be years before the local grocery or supermarket chains feature packages of fried crickets or cricket

flour for cake. Yet the industry is putting all its efforts into turning this plan into a reality and, who knows, they just

might be successful!

Task 5 15-24 April

Burlington International English B2+ Photocopiable ©© Burlington Books 7 7

A There is nothing new about turning to insects for nourishment. It is mentioned in the Bible, as well as in texts from

Ancient Greece and Rome. In fact, it is still a common practice in some countries, where at least two billion people

eat a wide variety of insects. From yellow jacket wasp larvae, popular in Japan, to the treasured cicadas of Malawi,

the list of edible insect species has already reached 1,900 and is growing.

B There are still challenges ahead of them. For example, the problem of ensuring consistent taste in the insect

product has not been solved. A lizard, they explain, might not be picky about the flavour of one particular cricket

over another, but people make an issue when it comes to taste. Another problem is number. In order to capture the

market of large food buyers, the cricket farmers would have to produce billions of crickets per year. Existing farms

are not yet equipped for such massive production.

C Apart from the history of climate and human migration, there is the cultural taboo. Simply put, by many in the West,

insects are seen as pests that transmit diseases. This has given rise to something called the “yuck factor” – the

very idea of eating bugs is disgusting.

D Unfortunately, producing more meat using our current system is a poor solution to this problem because of its

heavy cost to our environment. Raising livestock like cattle and pigs consumes vast amounts of land and water.

Furthermore, animal waste and veterinary medicines given to animals end up polluting the soil and water. Finally,

the livestock industry produces more greenhouse gases than aeroplanes, trains and automobiles combined.

E When it comes to labelling the final product, it is likely that regulating authorities will insist on an allergy warning.

This is because increasing evidence shows that people who are allergic to shellfish may also be allergic to insects.

F According to the research of Jonas House, a doctoral candidate in human geography at the University of Sheffield

in England, the same success can happen with insects. House does not believe in trying to disguise the fact that

you are marketing insects as food. Instead, he says “you have to have some kind of insect food that is really

distinctive and tastes good. … a great taste they can’t get anywhere else.”
