English, you are so popular

English is the world language, the language of international communication in many areas of life; trade, air and sea transport, tourism and sport. New ideas in science, technology and medicine happen so quickly that it is impossible and very expensive to translate everything into different languages.  71   If you want to study some subject, you need to know professional words and phrases.

English is used as a first language in countries such as Australia, Canada， Ireland, New Zealand, the USA and many of the countries in the Caribbean.  72  It is a way in which people who have different languages communicate with each other. This is especially true in many parts of Africa and India.

  73  Australian, American or Irish English has another pronunciation or stresses, so sometimes you cannot understand, although you can speak English. The USA has no official national language. English is used like a natural language by all Americans, because it is very simple. The American variety is popular between no-native speakers, too.

English is far more worldwide in its distribution(分布) than all other spoken languages. 25% to 33% of the people in the world understand and speak English to some degree. And most of them can use English freely.  74 

In 2001, the 189 member countries in the United Nations were asked what language they wished to use for communication with other countries. More than120 chose English, 40 selected French, and 20 wanted to use Spanish.  75  However, the percentage of Internet users who are not native English speakers is increasing rapidly, especially in Asia.

A． It has become the most useful language.

B． Therefore, most things are published in English.

D． However, English in all these countries is not the same.

E.    English is also the language particularly on the Internet.

F.    There are at least 165 languages spoken in the United States.

G.    Therefore, it is not surprising that all languages change through time.
