A. Answer the questions below. Use the examples as models of the grammar and
vocabulary you have to use.

1. Why didn’t you study English before? (List at least 5 reasons in a

composition.)

Example:

One of the reasons why I didn’t study English before it is because I thought it
was too difficult. I didn’t understand my English teacher at school and that
was frustrating.
 The first reason why I did not study English is because I find grammar difficult.

The second is because I thought it was a complicated language.

The third is because I thought it was not going to be such an important language and
now I realize that it is very essential.

The fourth is because I did not like the English language.

And the fifth is because I did not understand the language and that discouraged me.

2. How different would things be if you had learned English before? (Name and
explain at least 5 things.)

Example:

If I had learned English some years ago I would have accepted a job a
multinational company offered me five years ago. One of the requirements
was to speak English and my level back then was very low.

If I had learned English in school, I would have done much better in the tests of
knowledge. The grammar differs.

If I had learned English a few years ago I would have won the scholarship to travel to
the United States, one of the requirements was to speak English.

If I had learned English a few years ago would have been the best in the classroom at
school, I was always regular in English
