What is best way to learn a language? We should 76 remember that we all learned our own language well 77 when we are children. If we could learn a second language 78 in the same way, it would not seem such difficult. 79 Think of what little children do. They listen what people 80 say and try to imitate(模仿)what they hear. That 81 is important to remember that we learn our own language 82 with hearing people speak it. In school though you learn 83 to read and write as good as to hear and speak, it is 84 best to learn all new word through the ears. 85

听力原文：Baker: Since so many of you have asked me about how to learn a language, I thought that it might be useful to take some class time today to discussit. Betty, you speak several languages, don't you?

Betty: Yes, I speak Spanish and French.

Baker: And what helped you most in learning those languages?

Betty: What helped me most.... Well, I studied both languages in high school, and I'm still studying Spanish here at the university, but I think that travel has probably been the most help to me. You see, I've been lucky in that I've lived in Europe. Believe me, I didn't speak very well before I moved there.

Bill: You're fight, Betty. After studying a language, practice is very useful. When you live in a country where the language is spoken, it's ideal. But, you know, sometimes it's difficult to make friends in a new place, even when the people axe very friendly.

Betty: Yes, I know what you mean. Especially if you don't speak my language too well. I had some problems when I first moved to Europe.

Baker: And, of course, some people are shy.

Betty: That's true.

Bill: Professor Baker, whether or not I'm living in a country where the language is spoken, I always go to movies, and whenever I can, I watch TV or listen to the radio in the language I'm trying to learn.

Betty: Me too. And reading is another good way to learn. Books are good, but I think that newspapers and magazines are even better.

Baker: Probably the best way to learn is to combine all of these ideas: traveling, talking with people, going to movies, watching TV, listening to the radio, and reading books, newspapers and magazines. What do you think?

Betty: I agree with that, Professor Baker.

Bill: So do I. But I don't believe that it's possible to take advantage of practice opportunities without some knowledge of the language first.

Betty: Sure. First it's a good idea to study grammar, vocabulary.

Bill:... and listening, perhaps even reading.

Betty: Then practice is very, very helpful.

What do the speakers mainly discuss?
