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. Thats why fourteen-year-old Umar is 40 when people comment on the fact that he is able to speak Arabic. Umars mother points out: “In U.S.A, its not 41 for kids to be bilingual. But, if you speak another language to your children in U.S.A, it is thought that you are not helping them to 42 society.”   But in fact, the general 43 among experts is that learning a second language is good for children. Experts believe that bilinguals  people who speak _44 languages have a clear learning advantage 45 their monolingual schoolmates. This 46 on how much of each language they can speak, not on which language is used, 47 they are learning Arabic, French, Chinese or any other language.   Vinss Millon, a professor of Foreign Language Training, says: “A lot of studies have 48 that children who speak more than one language sometimes learn one language more 49 , but in the end they do as well as their monolingual schoolmates, and often better, in other subjects.”   The view is that there is a(n) 50 from the effort of learning another language. A few other 51 agree that “Bilinguals tend to use language better as a whole. They also 52 greater creativity and problem-solving ability, and they learn further languages more easily”.   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.
