Question 1 : In the sentence “What matters is not what you know, but what
you can do”, the underlined verb indicates
Texto Base:
I have suggested that many, if not most teachers, could usefully adjust the values they emphasise. Here, three
of them:
1. From Short-Term to Long-Term Aims
Learning a foreign language can be a valuable, long-term personal asset for the student. lt can be inhibited
by over-emphasising short-term objectives — tests, pressure to speak before you are ready etc.
2. From Knowledge to Skill
Knowledge involves answers and explanations and is necessary, but not sufficient. What matters is not what
you know, but what you can do. ‘Knowing’ a foreign language may be interesting; the ability to use it is life-
enhancing.
3. From Accuracy to Communication
Successful communication always involves at least limited accuracy. Accuracy need not involve
communication at all. Communication is a wider, more useful concept; successful language is more valuable
than language which is only accurate.
