There are three groups of English learners: beginners, intermediate learners and learners of special English. Beginners need to learn the basis of English. Students who have reached an intermediate level benefit from learning general English skills. But what about the students who want to learn special English for their work or professional life? Most students who fit in the third group have a clear idea of what they want to learn. A bank clerk, for example, wants to use the specialized vocabulary and technical terms of finance. But for teachers, deciding how to teach specialized English is not always so easy. For a start, the variety is enormous. Every field, from airline pilots to secretaries, has its own vocabulary and technical terms. Teachers also need to have an up-to-date knowledge of that special language. And not many teachers are exposed to working environments outside the classroom. These issues have influenced the way special English is taught in schools.

This type of course is usually known as English for special purposes or ESP. And there are ESP courses for almost every area of professional and working life. In Britain, for example, there are courses that teach English for doctors, lawyers, reporters, travel agents and people working in the hotel industry. By far, the most popular ESP courses are for business English.

Task 4 5%

Directions: Read the following passage and complete the information by filling in the blanks mark 53 to 57 (in not more than 3 words) below. You should write your answers on the Answer Sheet correspondingly.

People enjoy taking trips. But what are the reasons they leave home? One reason is for education. People travel because they want to broaden their horizons to learn about other people and other places. They are curious about other cultures. When people are tourists, they get a quick look at different ways of living. Even a short look at another kind of lifestyle is an important lesson. On a trip, a person can learn directly by visiting museums and historic spots. What does a tourist learn when he see the art museums, visits the historical places and other scenic spots in Paris and shops along the river Seine? He gets a vivid picture, a real life of the French people. He learns about their attitudes, how they feel about business, beauty and history. What about the tourist who goes to Hong Kong? Does he get the same information that he could get from a book? He might read Hong Kong is crowded, that there is less than 200 square meters of space for each person. But seeing and feeling the lack of space will impress him much more. He might read that there are nearly 200 vehicles for every kilometer of roadway. But the sight of so many vehicles parked along the roadside would be a much more vivid lesson. The tourist to Hong Kong will never forget the contrasts: the straight vertical lines of tall modern buildings and the moving lines of boats that people live in.
