Learning a second language fuels children’s intelligence and makes their job prospects brighter. 36 the fact is, in U.S.A, as in many other English speaking countries, speakers of two or more languages are in the 37 . Eighty-four per cent of US people are monolingual (speakers of only one language). This leaves a small number who 38 to speak two or more languages. No matter how proud people are of their cultural roots, to speak anything 39 English is a marker of difference here. That’s why fourteen-year-old Umar is 40 when people comment on the fact that he is able to speak Arabic. Umar’s mother points out: “In U.S.A, it’s not 41 for kids to be bilingual.

With all of the benefits, why do we not show more 53 for learning other languages. Parents and teachers 54 in bilingual education say it is pressure from friends at school, general 55 to other languages in English-speaking countries, and problems in the school system that are to blame. 36.
