阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
I am Canadian. I started learning French when I was 10 years old. But my whole experience with the language was in the classroom. All of that changed, however, during my last summer of high school. As a 17-year-old girl,I flew across the country by myself for the first time! I headed for Quebec to live in the province with a
French-speaking host family, who didn't speak any English. And I would learn French at a local school.
On the first day of school, all of us students were given a test to determine (测定) our language level. We were required to speak only French all summer.
I made every effort to communicate in a second language by making new friends, seeing movies and even ordering food from restaurants in French. Though I couldn't understand most of it at the very beginning, the whole experience was exciting and refreshing.
On weekends, my classmates and I took trips to different places around the province. On one trip, we went whale
watching on the St. Lawrence River. Even though it was raining, we could see huge whales swimming around our boat.The most memorable part of our trip was a visit to historic Quebec City. I walked along the stone streets, took pictures of the European- style(欧式的) buildings, and learned some stories there.
Finally my efforts paid off! At the end of the summer, I was able to communicate pretty well. I couldn't wait to go back to school and talk with my French teacher. Being fully immersed (沉浸) in a French-speaking environment was a valuable learning experience. And it could be the main reason for my improvement in French.
When did the writer fly alone for the first time
How did the local school determine the students' language level
What did the writer think of the visit to historic Quebec City
What could be the main reason for the writer's improvement in French

There is no"easy language"in the world to learn.But some of them are easier,and some
more difficult.Now I would love to talk about the top 5 most complicated sign systems(复杂的字符系统）in the word.
The Chinese language is said to be the most difficult language.'The Chinese dictionary lists
more than 87,000 characters.Many of them don't reflect the phonetic(语音的)meaning of the
word,so a person you doesn’t know the language well will have no idea about how to pronounce them.Chinese has 4 tones(声调).Using the wrong tones can change the meaning of your sentences.
The Arabic language is the second on my list because it is one of the most complicated sign system in the world.One letter can have up to 4 different forms in writing,depending on its position in the world.It uses a right-to-left writing system.How strange!
I found the Russian language difficult though it’s my first language.There are words which sound the same but written in different ways,or words that written the same,but have different meanings.The punctuation(标点符号)is of great importance as well;one punctuation mark can totally change the meaning of a sentence.
The Basque language is considered to be one of the most ancient languages in Europe.It has been mastered by some populations in southern France and northern Spain.The interesting thing is that this language was used by the American army during WWII to communicate secret information.
Inuit languages have so many tenses(时态）,which makes them difficult to study.There
are about 63 tenses.The Inuit writing system is in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the most complicated.
How many Chinese characters are listed in the Chinese dictionary
38.What's strange about the Arabic language
39.Is the punctuation of Russian language important
40.Why are Inuit language so difficult to learn
