Ex. 7 Read the short texts and say which student (Jack, Susan or Mark) is the most successful in your opinion:
Text A
Jack takes learning English very seriously. He is mainly keen on English grammar- he spends many hours at home studying grammar books and doing exercises. In class, he always has a lot of questions to the teacher- in fact, he knows so much about grammar that sometimes his teacher finds it hard to answer. Jack learns vocabulary. He enjoys working with his bilingual dictionary and looking up any new word. His pronunciation is quite good too. He quite enjoys his English classes but he thinks his teacher wastes too much time on group work. He doesn’t like speaking to other students. He doesn’t like to make mistakes.
Text B
Susan really enjoys her foreign classes, though she is very busy in her job. She likes her teacher and her group mates, she enjoys speaking English both with the teacher and with other students. She always tries to say as much as she can, even if the topic is not something that really interests her- it’ s still good practice. She tries to correct herself and use the new words. Susan is rather good at grammar. When she meets new grammar she tries to work out the rules herself. She sometimes gets the chance to practise English at work, when she meets English speaking colleagues.
Text C
Mark doesn’t really know why he is learning English, but maybe it’ll be useful some day. Anyway, his parents are paying a lot of money for his lessons. He attends most of these classes but he’s generally late. His teacher always explains new vocabulary and grammar in English, but Mark doesn’t usually listen very hard to the parts of the lesson- his friend John speaks much better English than he does, so he asks him to translate the teacher’s words. The teacher sometimes asks him questions. He usually answers in one word. The topics don’t interest him much.

1) likes English classes very much. ______
2) answers the teacher’s questions in one word.______
3) enjoys learning grammar.______
4) learns vocabulary.______
5) doesn’t like group work._______
6) doesn’t know the reason of learning English.______
7) practices English apart from the work in class.______
8) doesn’t usually listen very hard._______
