In my opinion, famous people should be able to speak good English. I feel really disappointed when I hear some of our singers or sportspeople speak. Clearly, they may sing or play sports well, but English is where they never shine. Marc, France Personally I think that pop groups in my country shouldn't sing in English. I mean, I know it's more common, but they aren't English, and not everybody in Japan understands English. I think they should sing in Japanese. Sam, Japan In some secondary schools in my country they are now teaching other subjects like math and science in English. I think it's a really good idea — of course, the teachers' English should be good. Lina, Germany In Italian there are lots of English words like weekend, stress, OK, cook, words like that. I personally hate it. I think we should use our own words for these things, not just borrow from English. And people even use some words which don't exist (存在), like footing. The English word is jogging. Paola, Italy 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

One morning, Ryan came to Christine's house. “Christine, let's go to the beach.” They went to the beach to look for shells (贝壳) and other beautiful things. Suddenly Christine shouted, “Look! There's something in that net (网) over there.”
