'Studying the English language in an English-speaking country is the best
but not the only way to learn the language.'
WRITING TASK 2 - Model Answer: Add linking and sequencing words
from the box below:
Studying a language in a country where it is widely spoken has many advantages. It is
(1) a good idea to study English in a country such as Britain. (2) , I believe
it is not the only way to learn the language.
(3) , most students in n o n - English-speaking countries learn English at secondary school
and sometimes at university nowadays. (4) their spoken English is not usually of
very high standard, their knowledge of grammar is often quite advanced. This is certainly
useful when students come to an English-speaking country to perfect the language.
(5) , studying the basics of English at secondary school is less stressful than learning
the language while overseas. This is because students living at home do not have to worry
about problems such as finding accommodation, paying for their study and living costs,
and trying to survive in a foreign country where day to day living causes much stress.
(6) , there are obvious advantages of learning English in Britain. Every day there
are opportunities to practise listening to and speaking with British people. (?) ,
students can experience the culture first-hand, which is a great help when trying to
understand the language. This is especially true if they choose to live with a British family,
as exchange students for example. (8) , if students attend a language school full-time,
the teachers will be native speakers. In this case, (9) will students speaking and
listening skills improve, do) attention can be given to developing reading and writing
skills as well.

reasonable level of English can be achieved in one's own country, if a student is gifted
and dedicated to study.
