    10. ★. Why do you learn English?
      A: Because when I go to another country, I can talk with foreigners by myself.
      2. Do you agree or disagree with what Jay Walker told us in this video?
      ★: I disagree with what Jay Walker told us in this video. Because every country has their own language, more languages mean more cultures. Maybe some Americans think everybody is studying their language so they think they don’t have to learn another language. But maybe when someday another country will be powerful and prosperous, does it means we should learn another language and have another language mania?

    11. 1. Why do you learn English?
      A: Because I think learn English can make me make more different friends.
      2. In your opinion, is English mania good or bad?
      A: Not bad. But if everyone learns English, other languages might disappear. So, I think we could learn not only English but also other languages. Although learning English is good, I think you must know what the words mean, not only screaming it.
