[05:21.05]Unit 2 We all own English.
[05:29.20]Reading
[05:31.56]2 Work in pairs. Answer the questions.
[05:37.16]Now read the passage andcheck.
[05:40.18]Who owns English?English is spoken byabout 400 million peoplein Australia, Britain,
[05:49.31]Canada, Ireland4, NewZealand, South Africaand the USA.
[05:54.77]In Ghana, India, Nigeriaand Singapore, Englishis used for government,
[06:00.96]education and trade,although there are manyother languages foreveryday use.
[06:06.56]In China and most othercountries,
[06:09.48]it's the most importantforeign language thatchildren will learn atschool,
[06:14.43]because it's essentialfor tourism,international business,
[06:18.69]entertainment, radio,television, newspapers,and the Internet.
[06:24.22]So English is now usedby about 1.5 billionpeople--or a quarter ofthe world's population,
[06:32.43]and wherever you go inthe world, there is agood chance that someonewill speak English.
[06:38.73]How did this happen?English has not alwaysbeen the most commonlanguage.
[06:44.36]Until English becameimportant in the 20thcentury, people who hadany education spokeFrench.
[06:51.84]What's more, Englishspelling doesn't givemuch help withpronunciation,
[06:56.83]and its grammar isdifficult, especiallythe word order.
[07:00.94]The reason is that inthe 18th century,
[07:04.26]the UK was a countrywhose industrialproducts were sold allover the world.
[07:10.32]In the 20th century, theUSA spread English allover the world throughnewspapers,
[07:16.74]television, films andadvertising.
[07:20.05]It's now the commonlanguage for internat-ional travel,
[07:23.93]science, industry and inrecent years,informationtechnology and theInternet.
[07:30.53]But it's also impor-tant to remember thatEnglish has borrowedmany words from otherlanguages,
[07:36.91]either exactly the sameword or very similar.
[07:40.94]It uses restaurant fromFrench, zero fromArabic, piano fromItalian,
[07:48.71]and typhoon5, china andmany others words fromChinese.
[07:54.54]Will the importance ofEnglish last?
[07:57.23]Many people think that,if China continues togrow in importance,
[08:01.91]Chinese will become ascommon as English by themiddle of the 21stcentury.
[08:07.61]More and more schools inEurope are teachingChinese as a foreignlanguage,
[08:12.67]in place of otherEuropean languages.
[08:15.77]And tourism puts Chinainto the top 10countries for visitors.But at least for thenext 20 or 30 years,
[08:24.32]English will be thelanguage used mostwidely.
[08:27.70]So who owns English?The answer is everyonewho speaks it--theEnglish,
[08:34.64]the Indians and theChinese all help makeit a rich language.
[08:40.65]It changes every yearwith new words andexpressions.
[08:45.20]Even though there aredifferences in grammar,vocabulary,pronunciation andspelling,
[08:51.55]we all belong to theinternational Englishspeaking world. We allown English.
[08:57.53]Unit 3 Language in use
[09:01.10]6 Read the passage and choose the correct answer.
[09:06.52]The development ofEnglish as a worldlanguage
[09:10.33]is one of the mostinteresting eventsof the late 20th andearly 21st centuries.
[09:15.97]It is the language usedby speakers of manydifferent languages tocommunicate with eachother.
[09:22.01]There are about 5.8billion people who donot speak English aseither their first orsecond language.
[09:29.78]However, we have entereda period in world his-tory when children areall learning beginner orhigher level English.
[09:38.06]Already, there arealmost 180 millionlearners of Englishbeing educated6 in China,
[09:44.87]a number which isrising.
[09:46.82]Also, many adults arelearning English at workor in their free time.
[09:52.28]But looking into thefuture, the number oflearners may growsmaller almost asquickly as it increased.
[09:59.62]If the project to teachEnglish to the world'sprimary schoolchildrenis successful,
[10:04.98]the children of thefuture will not needEnglish lessons at all.
[10:09.19]For many centuries,Latin was the commonlanguage betweeneducated people inEurope.
[10:15.11]But just as the use ofLatin slowlydisappeared, English mayalso not remain theworld language forever.
[10:22.45]Many language learnersare already expressingan interest in learningChinese, Spanish andArabic.
