Most people in America speak only one language:English.They do not learn to speak a second language.
High schools teach languages.But why?
First,most Americans never travel to other countries.America is a very large country.Americans can
travel a long distance and not leave the United States.Why don't Americans speak other languages?They do
not need to learn a second language.
Second,one of the countries next to America is Canada.Most people in Canada speak English.Some
Americans live near Canada.They travel there often.But they do not have to learn a new language.
Third,many people in other parts of the world speak English.If Americans travel to other countries,they
can speak English there,too.
Some Americans think that it is a mistake to speak only English.They believe it is very important to learn a
second language.Maybe someday other Americans will agree.Then more people will speak a second language
in America.
