English is spoken as a first language by most people in the USA, Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. However, English is also spoken all over the world. It is the main language in over60 countries, including India, Singapore and many of the Carribean and Pacific islands. In these places English is often a second language.

English is also an international language in many other countries, like China and Japan. People in these countries use it for business, and travelers to these countries use English when they get there. Other people may learn English because they enjoy reading books in English, listening to British or American music or watching American films.

English has changed a lot over the years and still goes on changing. It is no longer right to talk about British English or American English because they are much the same. People in Japan and Korea, for example, may use the American spelling but may not sound like Americans.

English will probably be the most widely used language in the world by the end of the 21st century. This language no longer belongs to British, American or Australian. It belongs to anyone in the world. So, as middle school students, you should think about how you can use this language well because as you leave school, you will almost certainly need it.

Make Changes to Lose Weight

Making these easy changes realty can help you lose weight.

1.

You can help prevent overeating by eating something about every three hours. Getting too hungry will get in your way to eat healthily. Make sure you know how many calories should come from snacks, and then aim for a healthy snack, such as an apple.

2.

One of the worst ways to lose weight is meal skipping. Many people think skipping meals is a great way to cut calories, but in the end, they fail to lose weight. You’ll be more likely to overeat if you do not eat regular meals.

3.

Water helps you lose weight in several ways. Drinking water rather than other kinds of drinks can cut hundreds of calories. Don't wait until you're feeling thirsty to drink water; thirst can be mistaken for hunger, causing you to overeat.

4.

It is impossible to lose weight and keep it off without exercising. Start out today by taking a walk or learn how to bike to lose weight. Work your way up from 10 minutes to 30-40 minutes a day, most days a week.

5.

Keep a food diary. All you have to do is to put down what, when, and how much you eat in a notebook. A food diary will give you a clear picture of your eating habits so you can know the change you need to make to lose weight.
