The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981.At that time，they decided to stop s__1__ Spanish at home and only communicate in English.This was b__2__ they were now living in an Englishspeaking country.
Now the Vieira children are adults，and they sometimes travel to Spain to v __3__ their family and friends.But they can't communicate with them.Unfortunately this is common.When people move to new countries，they often leave their o__4__ customs and mother language behind.This is a mistake because there are many benefits to knowing more than one language.
One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate with more people a__5__ the world.You don't have to depend on others to talk to you，so you are more independent.People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.
Furthermore，speaking the second language a__6__ allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively.Local expressions，vocabulary，and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person's understanding of o__7__ cultures.So knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.
Finally，having more multilanguage__speakers improves relationships b__8__ countries.If people from different countries can communicate well，the world can become closers.Countries will then have more respect for each other and better u__9__ each other's problems.
The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear.In fact，there are no disadvantages.It is very sad that many people don't try to learn another language.It's e__10__ worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become
silenced. 1.__________ 5.__________ 6.__________ 10.__________
