The discovery that language can be a barrier to communication is quickly made by all who travel, study, govern or sell. Whether the activity is tourism, research, government, policing, business, or data dissemination, the lack of a common language can severely impede progress or can halt it altogether. 'Common language' here usually means a foreign language, but the same point applies in principle to any encounter with unfamiliar dialects or styles within a single language. 'They don't talk the same language' has a major metaphorical meaning alongside its literal one.

Although communication problems of this kind must happen thousands of times each day, very few become public knowledge. Publicity comes only when a failure to communicate has major consequences, such as strikes, lost orders, legal problems, or fatal accidents — even, at times, war. One reported instance of communication failure took place in 1970, when several Americans ate a species of poisonous mushroom. No remedy was known, and two of the people died within days. A radio report of the case was heard by a chemist who knew of a treatment that had been successfully used in 1959 and published in 1963. Why had the American doctors not heard of it seven years later? Presumably, because the report of the treatment had been published only in journals written in European languages other than English.

Several comparable cases have been reported. But isolated examples do not give an impression of the size of the problem — something that can come only from studies of the use or avoidance of foreign-language materials and contacts in different communicative situations. In the English-speaking scientific world, for example, surveys of books and documents consulted in libraries and other information agencies have shown that very little foreign-language material is ever consulted. Library requests in the field of science and technology showed that only 13 per cent were for foreign language periodicals. Studies of the sources cited in publications lead to a similar conclusion: the use of foreign-language sources is often found to be as low as 10 per cent.

The language barrier presents itself in stark form to firms who wish to market their products in other countries. British industry, in particular, has in recent decades often been criticised for its linguistic insularity - for its assumption that foreign buyers will be happy to communicate in English, and that awareness of other languages is not therefore a priority. In the 1960s, over two-thirds of British firms dealing with non-English-speaking customers were using English for outgoing correspondence; many had their sales literature only in English; and as many as 40 per cent employed no-one able to communicate in the customers' languages. A similar problem was identified in other English-speaking countries, notably the USA, Australia and New Zealand. And non-English-speaking countries were by no means exempt - although the widespread use of English as an alternative language made them less open to the charge of insularity.

The criticism and publicity given to this problem since the 1960s seems to have greatly improved the situation. Industrial training schemes have promoted an increase in linguistic and cultural awareness. Many firms now have their own translation services; to take just one example in Britain, Rowntree Mackintosh now publish their documents in six languages (English, French, German, Dutch, Italian and Xhosa). Some firms run part-time language courses in the languages of the countries with which they are most involved; some produce their own technical glossaries, to ensure consistency when material is being translated. It is now much more readily appreciated that marketing efforts can be delayed, damaged, or disrupted by a failure to take account of the linguistic needs of the customer.

The changes in awareness have been most marked in English-speaking countries, where the realisation has gradually dawned that by no means everyone in the world knows English well enough to negotiate in it. This is especially a problem when English is not an official language of public administration, as in most parts of the Far East, Russia, Eastern Europe, the Arab world, Latin America and French-speaking Africa. Even in cases where foreign customers can speak English quite well, it is often forgotten that they may not be able to understand it to the required level - bearing in mind the regional and social variation which permeates speech and which can cause major problems of listening comprehension. In securing understanding, how 'we' speak to 'them' is just as important, it appears, as how 'they' speak to 'us'.

It is well known that the building development company Cityspace wants to knock down the existing seafront sports club in Layton and replace it with a leisure centre that will consist of a multi-screen cinema, restaurants and an entertainment centre. But a local action group has promised to fight the £30 million redevelopment of the sports club, which has provided family facilities for over 25 years.
The action group was set up three weeks after the project was announced. Members of the group
argue that the new centre will be too big and will totally change the way the town looks. They also
dislike the removal of sports facilities from the centre and the change to less healthy activities such
as video games and films. Apart from the size of the project, they say that the 550 parking spaces
provided will be too few and parking will become more difficult as a result.
Local hotel owners have welcomed the project, but the action group says that in general it will only
have a bad effect on the neighbourhood. According to one group member it will result in up to 4,000
people being around Layton seafront late at night. ‘A lot of old people and families live nearby,’ he
explained. A meeting is being held tonight to discuss the plans.

Được biết, công ty phát triển tòa nhà Cityspace muốn phá bỏ câu lạc bộ thể thao bên bờ biển hiện có ở Layton và thay thế bằng một trung tâm giải trí bao gồm rạp chiếu phim nhiều màn hình, nhà hàng và trung tâm giải trí. Nhưng một nhóm hành động địa phương đã hứa sẽ chống lại việc tái phát triển câu lạc bộ thể thao trị giá 30 triệu bảng Anh, nơi đã cung cấp các tiện nghi gia đình trong hơn 25 năm.
Nhóm hành động được thành lập ba tuần sau khi dự án được công bố. Các thành viên của nhóm
cho rằng trung tâm mới sẽ quá lớn và sẽ thay đổi hoàn toàn diện mạo của thị trấn. Họ cũng
không thích việc di dời các cơ sở thể thao khỏi trung tâm và chuyển sang các hoạt động kém lành mạnh hơn
như trò chơi điện tử và phim. Ngoài quy mô của dự án, họ nói rằng 550 chỗ đậu xe
được cung cấp sẽ là quá ít và do đó việc đậu xe sẽ trở nên khó khăn hơn.
Các chủ khách sạn địa phương đã hoan nghênh dự án, nhưng nhóm hành động nói rằng nhìn chung nó sẽ chỉ
gây ảnh hưởng xấu đến khu vực lân cận. Theo một thành viên trong nhóm, nó sẽ dẫn đến 4.000
những người xung quanh bờ biển Layton vào đêm muộn. Ông
giải thích : “Rất nhiều người già và gia đình sống gần đó . Một cuộc họp sẽ được tổ chức vào tối nay để thảo luận về các kế hoạch.

1. Người viết muốn làm gì trong bài viết?
A. chỉ ra lý do tại sao trung tâm giải trí mới là cần thiết
B. đưa ra ý kiến của riêng cô ấy về trung tâm giải trí mới
C. mô tả các lập luận chống lại trung tâm giải trí mới

2. Người đọc sẽ khám phá điều gì từ bài viết?
A. mất bao lâu để hoàn thành trung tâm giải trí mới
B. nhóm hành động có bao nhiêu thành viên
C. chi phí bao nhiêu để tham gia trung tâm giải trí mới
D. câu lạc bộ thể thao đã ở Layton bao lâu rồi
3. What does nhóm hành động nghĩ về trung tâm giải trí mới?
A. Nó sẽ không phù hợp với khu vực. B. Sẽ tốn quá nhiều chi phí để xây dựng.
C. Nó sẽ không thu hút đủ người. D. Nó sẽ cung cấp quá ít giải trí.
4. Nhóm người nào muốn có trung tâm giải trí mới?
A. những người chơi nhiều môn thể thao B. những người làm việc trong ngành du lịch

It is well known that the building development company Cityspace wants to knock down the existing seafront sports club in Layton and replace it with a leisure centre that will consist of a multi-screen cinema, restaurants and an entertainment centre. But a local action group has promised to fight the £30 million redevelopment of the sports club, which has provided family facilities for over 25 years.
The action group was set up three weeks after the project was announced. Members of the group
argue that the new centre will be too big and will totally change the way the town looks. They also
dislike the removal of sports facilities from the centre and the change to less healthy activities such
as video games and films. Apart from the size of the project, they say that the 550 parking spaces
provided will be too few and parking will become more difficult as a result.
Local hotel owners have welcomed the project, but the action group says that in general it will only
have a bad effect on the neighbourhood. According to one group member it will result in up to 4,000
people being around Layton seafront late at night. ‘A lot of old people and families live nearby,’ he
explained. A meeting is being held tonight to discuss the plans.

A. show why the new leisure centre is needed

2. What will the reader discover from the article?
A. how long it will take to complete the new leisure centre
B. how many members the action group has
C. how much it will cost to join the new leisure centre
D. how long the sports club has been in Layton
3. What does the action group think about the new leisure centre?
A. It will not be right for the area. B. It will cost too much to build.
