For most people, the word "fashion" means "clothes". But people ask question, "What clothes are fashion?" And they use the adjective "fashionable" in the same way:

"she was wearing a fashionable coat." "His shirt was really a fashionable color." But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs and in languages.

Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will feel that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different from one of 1650. A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in 1860. Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspapers, radios, telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours. New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.

Have you ever heard of tandem? The word itself means a bicycle built with saddles for two riders sitting one behind the other. However, when we learn a foreign language, we can find a native speaker

who wishes to learn our languages. So we both get a chance to practice. This is the tandem exchange.

For example, I’m a native English speaker but I want to learn Spanish. So I go to a tandem meeting. There I can find a native Spanish speaker who wants to improve his or her English. Then we become “tandem” partners. I speak English with my Spanish tandem partner for about an hour and help him or her with some English problems. After that, we speak Spanish for an hour, too. The idea of this language exchange is great because we can learn something about a language that we may not learn in class. This is the main reason why we can choose the tandem exchange as a way to learn a new language.

In the tandem exchange, we can also read passages with our partner. This way we can not only practice our pronunciation but also understand the meaning of difficult words in other languages. We can then have conversations about the passages in order to practice our speaking and listening.

So I advise you to participate in the tandem exchange. If there’s no foreigner around you, online tandem exchange is also a good choice. Join in the tandem exchange and enjoy the opportunity of learning new languages and understanding the cultures of other countries!

1.Which of the following is a tandem bicycle?

A. B. C. D.

2.What is the main reason for choosing the tandem exchange?

A. We can make more friends.

B. We can learn something about a language that we may not learn in class.

C. We can improve our pronunciation.

D. We can learn Spanish in the tandem exchange.

3.Which language skill is NOT practiced in the tandem exchange according to the passage?
