Comments: Thanks to you all for doing the Trial Reading Exam. Also, your comments on identity, language learning and education were quite enlightening. Everyone and anyone who studies English should read 1984 by George Orwell. He wrote:

         

          “The decline of a language must ultimately have political

and economic causes.”
