Learning a second language The ability to communicate in different languages is a crucial talent in today’s increasingly interconnected and interdependent world. It allows you to interact with people closer to home or thousands of miles away and better positions to compete and flourish in the global economy. There are many advantages of learning second language. One of them is you will be able to communicate with someone in their own language, which is said to be a wonderful privilege. No matter where you are, speaking the language makes you a local and you could make pals for life. In addition, being multilingual can provide you a distinct competitive advantage over your monolingual peers. No matter your industry or degree of competence, they are among the top eight talents needed for all professions, and the need for multilingual workers is skyrocketing. In fact, the number of American job postings particularly targeting multilingual workers more than doubled between 2010 and 2015. Employers are looking for experts who can serve and sell to a sizable community of foreign-born customers here at home as well as serve and sell to clients in new and expanding international markets. Speaking more than one language helps one’s memory, problem-solving and criticalthinking abilities, concentration, multitasking ability, and listening skills. They demonstrate better creativity and flexibility than monolinguals. Being bilingual or multilingual also helps prevent mental ageing and cognitive decline as we age. Besides that, people who are multilingual can use the Internet as true global citizens, consuming and evaluating content in various languages. The closest link to different cultures is through language. Understanding and appreciating the customs, beliefs, artistic expressions, and history of the people who speak a language are fostered by our ability to communicate in that language. Studies demonstrate that children who have learned a second language are more open to and have more positive attitudes about the culture connected with that language, which in turn fosters better tolerance, empathy, and acceptance of others.

Choose from the sentences (A - H) to fit each gap (35 - 40). Sea Turtle Although loggerhead sea turtles are the most common sea turtles in the world, they are nevertheless in risk of extinction. People who thought the Loggerhead’s head resembled an antique wood log saw gave them the name “Loggerheads.” (35) The loggerhead turtle is a large sea turtle with flippers for legs and a strong reddishbrown shell. The colour of the animal’s skin varies from yellow to brown according on the individual. (36) However there have been some remarkable specimens whose length has been proved to be 280 centimetres (almost 3 metres) and whose weight is 454 kilos. The loggerhead sea turtle has a hard shell, as opposed to other sea turtle species that have leathery shells. Despite eating enough sargassum and other types of seaweed to qualify as partially omnivore, loggerhead turtles are primarily carnivorous. (37) These turtles are wandering, extremely migratory creatures that migrate over enormous stretches of the ocean. They dive between ten and thirty minutes, spending about 85% of their time underwater. (38) When possible, loggerhead turtles doze off while lying on an aquatic surface. They are strong enough to withstand the majority of attacks from predators. (39) In order to build their nests on the beach and lay their eggs, female turtles come up onto the shore before making another retreat into the sea. At this time of year, turtles are vulnerable to human predation, and their eggs are also taken by people and other land carnivores. (40) Although the species prefers coastal waters in tropical and subtropical climates, it will also travel along warm currents into temperate regions.
