You have to buy water from shops. And still there isnt enough for everyone. Your mother has to save the familys shower water to do other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?Probably not. But thats what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts said Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a report, the capital, Sana, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply(供应). Hannan, an 18-year-old from Lahej, told Times, In a good week well have a water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water trucks. Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell waterat very high prices. A lot of people cant afford it, she said.The average(平均) person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic(立方) meters of water per year. That is far below the international water poverty(贫困) line of 1,000 cubic meters.The government is thinking of making use of seawater.

The fact is that they arent.Some statistics (数据) from the survey done by the European Commission (欧盟委员会) showed that 62% of the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more. Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more.From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English. Thats why my people dont think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.In Britain, students are not required to learn a foreign language. That means learning a foreign language is only an option at school. In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why dont students continue learning foreign languages at school? Because they think it is more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.To solve this situation, the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices.Changing the British attitude (态度) to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decides to try!（1）Which country does the writer come from?
