How English has become the global language
People often talk about English as a global language. With more than 350 million people around the world
speaking English as the first language and more than 430 million speaking it as a second language, there
are English speakers in most countries around the world.
English is often called the international language of business. It is increasingly true as international trade
expands every year. Most multinational companies require a certain degree of English proficiency from
employees, so in order to get a position with a top company, more and more people are learning English.
If your ambitions lie in science or technology, you can’t neglect English either. Much of the technical terms
are based on English words. If you want to learn about the latest developments and discoveries from around
the world, you will read them in journals and research reports published in English. Of course, with good
conversational English, you will be able to make important contacts at conferences and seminars.
If you want a career in travel, English is absolutely essential. As the international language of aviation, pilot
and cabin crew all need to speak English. Even if you are not in the air, speaking English accurately will
ensure you are able to communicate with suppliers and customers all over the world.
With all the English resources available on the Internet and so many other English speakers around the
world to practise with, there has never been a better time to start learning English. Pick up a book, learn a
few words, or even start a course today and take your first steps toward becoming one of nearly 800 million
English speakers in the world.

II. Read the passage and answer the questions.
English plays an important role in everyday life in India. In India with innumerable regional languages in
different states, English serves as the common language in the country. Most office-goers know English,
but many of them do not know other languages besides their mother-tongue or regional language. Thus,
they communicate with each other in English for their everyday work.
The importance of English in education and student’s life cannot be denied. English remains a major
medium of instruction in schools. There are large numbers of books that are written in the English language.
English is an important language for inter-state communications. Modern India has many large states.
People of each state converse in their own language and often cannot speak or understand the regional
language of other people. In such cases, English becomes the link between these people. So, we cannot deny
the importance of English in modern India.
There are some advantages of regional languages over English, but in spite of that there is the need for and
importance of English in Indian life.

All you need to know about English
If you were an alien and had time to learn only one language before your visit to the Earth, which language
would you choose? English, of course.
Why not Chinese?
If you were only interested in talking to native speakers, Chinese would definitely be a better choice. About
1.4 billion people speak Chinese as their first language, compared with only 400 million who speak English.
However, Chinese wouldn’t help you very much if you weren’t in China, while you can usually find an
English translation at major tourist sites and airports all around the world. If you needed information from
the internet, English would be useful, too. About 56% of all webpages are in English. What’s more, English
is an official language in fifty-four different countries, which together cover more than 28% of all the land
on our planet.
So how many English speakers are there altogether?
About 1.8 billion, about a quarter of the world’s population. That includes native speakers, people who are
fluent speakers in countries where English is an official language, like India, Nigeria, and Singapore, and
all the people who have learned it as a foreign language at school.
What is English, anyway?
Several groups of people invaded England in the fifth century AD, from Germany and Denmark. We now
call them the Anglo-Saxons. English developed from the different Germanic dialects that they spoke. Later,
in the eleventh century, the Normans from northern France took control of England, and about 10,000
French words became part of the English language. English also took lots of words from Latin, and some
words from ancient Greek and other languages.
How did it become such an important world language?
It started to spread around the world when British colonists went to live in North America in the seventeenth
century, and later in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. The British also took control of parts of
Asia, the Caribbean and Africa, and people there had to learn English. In the twentieth century, the spread
of English continued because people wanted to do business with the USA. This was easier for people who
spoke this country’s language: English.
Is English exactly the same around the world?
Not quite. American English has a few different spellings from British English, and a few small differences
in grammar. People around the world speak with many different accents, and slang words are often different
in different countries.
What's next for English?
If an alien were clever enough to reach the Earth, it would probably have amazing translation technology,
too, and wouldn’t have to learn any of our languages. However, it will be a long time before our own
technology can replace the need for language learning. English is becoming the main language for lessons
in more and more schools and universities around the world, because people think that fluent English will
be very important for young people when they look for jobs. In this century, at least, English as a global
language is here to stay.
