A: But I can’t completely agree with you. In my opinion, it’s easy to learn. As long as we master the basic grammar and speak it as often as possible, we can
learn it well.
B: I don’t think you are right. Personally, I think we have fewer chances to speak English. What’s more, English and Chinese have little in common.
A: But I think we should find more chances to speak, just as we learn Chinese. If you speak, read
and listen as much as possible, you can find it easy to learn. B: That’s a good idea. Thanks for your advice. I’ll do my best to s

B: Yes. It consists of eight richest countries in the world. They are Britain, France, Germany, Italy,
Australia, Japan, America and Russia. Five of them are quite small and two of them are island
countries.
A: Do you think small countries have better chances than big ones to become rich?
B: I don’t think so.
A: Why?
B: First small countries have few natural resources. They’re very important for a country. Second, their labour force is limited. As a result, that prevents their
economy developing fast.
A: I can’t quite agree with you. In fact many small countries are very rich.
B: Yes. Though some countries are small, people of these countries can get good education and
make their countries become powerful by developing science and technology. For example, Japan
has few natural resources, but it can develop its education and use other countries resources as
many as possible to develop its economy.
A: It may be true. Do island nations have more advantages than other countries?
B: Certainly. Island countries have more convenient traffic and they also have more sea resources.
A: I agree with what you said.
