　　I’m a strong believer that learning different languages makes you look incredibly good when you’re in a foreign country and can understand and speak the language. The list below is 4 apps that will help you learn a foreign language! You can download them for free.

Babbel—Learn Languages

　　Babbel is an excellent language tool to help you progress step by step when you learn a new language. It helps you learn grammar along the way as you work your way through the tasks and assignments. You need to pay a monthly subscription（订阅费），but this will still be cheaper than taking physical lessons with a tutor!

Duolingo—Learn Languages Free

　　The app has many languages to choose from and will work through the basics all the way to advanced words and sentences. It’s all completely free too! It’s incredibly well designed，looks great and will help you learn，remember and progress with just a little bit of time every day.

Tandem—Language Exchange

　　Rather than have you work through tasks and memorize different things，the app lets you match people who share your interests but speak the language you want to learn. You can then have text，voice and video conversations with people who want to learn your native language，and in return you learn theirs，all by simply communicating with each other. It’s a great way to learn with only ＄1 a day.

Busuu—Learn English

　　This app is perfect if you want to learn English. There are all sorts of audio and visual learning aids. You’ll find yourself working through interactive tests and learning tools for vocabulary and dialogue.

1. harmlessly　句意：炮弹全部落入海中，没有造成人员伤亡。在句中作状语，修饰landed，用副词形式。

2. to　句意：他的懒惰导致他比赛失败。lead to 是固定搭配，意为“导致”。

6. shameless　根据前面的harmless和harmful对比可知，此处应是对比shameless和shameful。

7. smallest　下文中提到的都是很短的单词，句子前面有even（甚至），故此处用最高级。

8. which　考查定语从句。先行词为English，关系词在从句中作介词in 的宾语，故用which。

9. invented　根据句意“英语是被人发明的”可知，用被动语态。

10. reflects　考查时态。虽然and连接两个并列结构，但英语被发明是过去发生的事情，而它反映了人类的创造性是客观事实，故用一般现在时。
