IV Read the passage, then decide if the statements that follow it are True or False (1.0 pt)

It might sound strange to you but these are some important rules If you want to pass examinations, then study grammar However, if you want to be- come fluent in English, try to learn English without studying too much grammar because that will only slow you down and confuse you You will think about the rules when creating sentences instead of speaking naturally like a native speaker Some native speakers do not know so many grammar rules as non- native students do

Everyone can speak at least one language whether they are intelligent, or lack some brain power This could be achieved by being surrounded by that language at all times You may notice that there are also some people who study abroad and learn very little That is because they go to an English speak- ing school, but find friends from their own country and don't practice English Some others can speak English well because they live in an English speaking environment

Therefore, why don't you surround yourself with English? Make rules with some friends that you will only speak English when meeting up for a cof- fee, for example You can also carry around an iPod and listen to English as much as possible

19 You don't need to study too much grammar to be fluent in English True
