OR EATING OUT?
My job involves travelling a lot, so | treasure any meal with my parents at home It’s our happiest time when we can gather together and share a lot of things | love eating at home also because my mother is a great cook who can create unusual dishes with everyday ingredients
When Mark was three, he started to like lasagne
There were special dishes for children on Singapore Airlines planes The first time he tried lasagne, Mark couldn't eat much
Mark doesn't like lasagne anymore He never ate fish when he was a child 6 His family had fish every day

Read the following passage and answer the questions
Today English is considered a global language or lingua franca It is said that if you do not know English and cannot use it well, you may meet lots of difficulties in the modern world More and more people are learning English for several reasons
Firstly, they want to improve their knowledge It is obvious that most of the important sources of information are now in English We can easily find websites, journals, newspapers, and encyclopedias in English everywhere If we know English well, we can attend quite a lot of online courses or go abroad to study Many universities in different countries offer courses in English even though it is not their native language
Secondly, it is easier to get a well-paid job if you can use English Most multinational companies require a certain degree of English proficiency from potential employees Therefore, in order to get a position with a top company, more and more people are learning English Even local companies now require their staff to know English The reason for that is they may have business relationships with companies in other countries which use English as their working language
These two reasons are the most common ones explaining why people like to, and need to, study English
1) What is the status of English in the world today? 2 If people cannot use English well, what may happen?
How can we improve our knowledge if we know English?
Do many universities in the countries where English is not their native language provide courses in the language?
