4 Listen to the text and say if you will follow the advice that the speaker gives.
Read the text and explain your answer.
Dontaskt learn English! It may ruin your life!
• You hate the Internet and computers.
• You arentaskt ambitious about your future job and you dontaskt want to earn any money.
• You arentaskt interested in travelling and communicating with other people.
• You think all books and films in other languages are boring.
If that is what you think, you shouldntaskt learn English, because if you learn it, five awful things can happen to you.
Youtaskll be able to travel all over the world and communicate with people everywhere. This is really nasty. First of all, you dontaskt want to travel abroad — you are quite happy at home. Secondly, why should you talk to a waiter in a hotel in Egypt or listen to an English-speaking guide on an excursion to the Tower of London? Thirdly, who wants to talk to the sales assistant in a French shop or ask somebody for directions in Poland? And finally, you dontaskt want to meet those cool guys who came to your town on an exchange programme. All these people can just learn Russian, cantaskt they?
Youtaskll always get the news first. This may make you really nervous. They saying "No news is good news" is right. If you learn to speak English, you have to watch the international television networks: CNN and the BBC that broadcast news faster and more professionally than smaller national networks. You can get them everywhere in the world, so youtaskll never get any peace and quiet.
Youtaskll get access to information on any subject. Nobody needs that much knowledge. We live in the information age anyway, and you already get more information than you want. If you make a bad mistake and learn just one language, English for example, youtaskll be able to surf the net day and night because most of the websites on the Internet are in English. You will also be able to read any book on any subject. Most books in the world have English translations. But reading all night and surfing the net are really bad for you health, dontaskt you agree?
Youtaskll learn all about your favourite music group. Imagine that one day youtaskll be able to understand the words of all your favourite English song? What if they are not as good as you thought?
Or think: youtaskll be able to watch British and American films in the origin language. Who knows, you may never want to listen to bad translations again. Dontaskt start!
And worst of all: Youtaskll find a fantastic job and earn a lot of money. Horrible isntaskt it?
Stay away (держитесь подальше) from English and youtaskll be safe because top-class diplomats, politicians, scientists and artists everywhere in the world use English to communicate with each other. You dontaskt want to be one them, do you!
Almost all business in Russia today is international. Even a secretary have to write letters in English and speak English on the phone. And if you are really unlucky and get an important job, you may have to go to international conferences, read international business newspapers and make reports English.
So follow our advice: Dontaskt learn English!
