It is easy to learn Portuguese for a Spanish speaker because it is very similar to Spanish while a Chinese speaker will find it hard to learn. The greater the difference between the second language and the first, the harder will it be for most people to learn.

(i) What do people often ask?
(ii) Why is it difficult to learn a second language?
(iii) How does a child learn his first language?

Discipline is of the utmost important in a student’s life. If the young students do not obey their superiors and go without discipline, they would be deprived of much of the training they should have at this period and in future they will never be able to extract obedience from others. Society will never accept them as persons fit for commanding and taking up any responsible in life. So it is the duty of all students to observe discipline in the preparatory stage of their life.
