About one hundred years ago,many educated people spoke French when they met people from other | countries. Today most people speak English when they | meet foreigners. It has become the new international f language. There are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak English as a first | language. Why?
There are many reasons why English has become so f popular. One of them is that English has become the language of business. Another important reason is that | popular American culture,like movies,music,and j McDonald’s,has quickly spread throughout the world. It t has brought its language with it.
Is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly? I don’t know. It’s important to have a language that everyone has in common. Our world has become global and we need to communicate with one another. On the other hand,English is a rather hard language to learn and it brings its culture with it. Do we really need that?
Scientists have already tried to make an artificial (人造的)language that isn’t too difficult and isn’t from any group’s culture. It is called Esperanto. But it hasn’t become popular. Maybe the popularity of English won’t last that long,either. Who knows? There are more!people in the world who speak Chinese than any other language. Maybe someday Chinese will be the new f international language.

American and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes it does not seem like the same language.
1 First of all,they sound very differently. Often,Americans don’t say each word separately. They say several words together. Americans may say “ I dunno ” instead of “I don’t know”. Or they may say uWhaddya say?” instead of “What did you say?”. However,the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.
2 The same words sometimes have different meanings,too. Some American words are never used inEngland. The same thing is true of some British words inAmerica. For example,the vocabulary (词汇)for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks,but inEnglandpeople drive lorries.
3 InEngland, if you are going to telephone your friends,you “ phone them up ” . InAmerica, you “give them calls”. When you are saying goodbye in England,you might say “ Cheerio! ”. InAmericayou might say “ See you later. ”.
4 For example,Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have a storybook?”. But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say “ Have you a storybook?”.
5 But most languages are like this. Languages change all the time. When people live in separate places,the languages change in different ways. This is what has happened to English. It can also happen to other languages,such as French. Many people inCanadaspeak French but their French is very different from the French of France.
