Read the passage carefully and decide whether the following statements are TRUE or FALSE.
Madagascar – When to go
Madagascar has two seasons, a warm, wet season from November to April, and a cooler dry season between May and October. However, different parts of the country have very different weather.
The east coast is hotter and wetter, with up to 4000mm of rainfall per year. In the rainy season, there are strong winds, and these can cause a lot of damage. Avoid visiting eastern Madagascar between January and March because the weather can make road travel very difficult. The dry season is cooler and more pleasant.
The high, central part of the country is much drier and cooler. About 1,400 mm of rain falls in the rainy season, with some thunderstorms, but the summer is usually sunny and dry, but it can be cold, especially in the mornings, with freezing showers, and it may snow in mountain areas above 2,400m, and even stay there for several days.
The west coast is the driest part of the island. Here, the winter months are pleasant with little rain, cooler temperatures, and blue skies. The summers can be extremely hot, especially in the southwest. This part of the country is semi-desert and only gets around 300mm of rain per year.
Madagascar has four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter.
The wettest part of the island is the east.
January-March is a good time to visit eastern Madagascar.

Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question.
The first language you learn to speak is called your native language. As a baby, you listened to your parents or other people speaking and then imitated the sounds you heard. Babies seem to be born with an ability to learn the language they hear.
Native speakers learn as children to use the right words and arrange them in the right order without even thinking about it. If English is your native language, you know automatically that “I going bed” is wrong, but “I am going to bed” is right. If you learn a second language, you have to memorize its words and learn its rules. That’s why learning a second language can be difficult.
Young children can learn a new language very easily. If they are surrounded by people speaking a different language, they soon learn to speak it as well as their native language. But as people grow older, it becomes more difficult to learn new languages. People gradually lose the ability to learn the grammar and pronounce the sounds of another language. People who learn a new language as adults usually have a “foreign accent” when they speak it.
According to the passage, a native language is _____.
Learning a second language can be difficult because _____.
