Around the world
Since the twelfth century,
people have been inventing
languages, in the hope that a
world language would ease human communication. Only one of these
invented languages has enjoyed
any success, though.
An invented language
It is called Esperanto. It was invented by a Polish man named Zamenhof. His language is based on Latin, German and Greek vocabulary. Each letter always makes the same sound, and the grammar rules are simple.
Although Esperanto is spoken by about two million people and a thousand of them have learnt it as a first language, it is unlikely to become a world language.

1. 状语从句
使用状语从句有两点要注意：
(1) 状语从句中连词的选用；
(2) 条件状语从句中的时态。
状语从句中连词的选用。
状语从句中使用什么连词是由句子所表达的逻辑
意义决定的。这需要我们理解连词的意思和功能。
Language points
常用的连词：
(1) 时间状语从句的连词：when （当……时）、
while（当……时）、as（当……时）、before（在……之前）、after（在……之后）、until（直到……才）、as soon as （一……就）等。
例：My father took the photos when we lived in
China.我们在中国的时候我爸爸拍的这些照片。
You’re not going out until you’ve finished this.
你完成了这个才可以出门。
(2) 地点状语从句的连词：where 指某个地点
例：We must camp where we can get water.
我们必须把帐篷搭在能够取到水的地方。
(3) 条件状语从句的连词：if
例：If he leaves the vegetables in the house,
the goat will eat them.
如果他把蔬菜留在房子里，这只羊会吃
了这些菜的。

例：The cost of the repairs was a lot of cheaper
than I thought.
修理的费用比我想象中的要低许多。
(5) 目的状语从句的连词：so that, in order that
例：I’ve bought some photos so that you can
see what Britain looks like.
我买了些照片，这样你便可看见英国是什么样子。

例：Although the car is old, it still runs well.
尽管这辆车很老旧，它仍然运作地很好。
条件状语从句中的时态
在条件状语从句中，如果主句的时态是一般将来，从句一般用一般现在时。
例：If it rains tomorrow, we will play inside.
如果明天下雨，我们就在室内玩。
2. 不定式
（1）作动词的宾语
放在谓语动词之后的不定式作谓语动词的宾语。
如: want to do sth.、agree to do sth.、decide to do sth. 等。
例：I decided to join some student clubs and
take part in as many activities as I could.
我决定加入一些学生俱乐部并且尽可能
多参加活动。
(2) 作宾语补足语
不定式作宾语补足语是指在 “ v.+名词/代词+(to) do sth.” 结构中的不定式。变否定时只需在不定式前加not，其中的to在某些动词后面需省略。
例：I told them to stop, but they wouldn’t.
我告诉他们停止，但他们不听。
They asked me to leave.他们让我离开。
Miss Smith made the boys stay in after
school.史密斯老师让这些男孩放学留下来。
Let’s not argue about it.咱们不要再为它争吵了。

As we all know, there are many languages in
the world, and different countries have different languages as their mother languages, such as Chinese, English, Russian and French. Chinese, which can be dated back to thousands of years ago, is widely spoken in the world, and will have a bright future, acting a more and more important role on the world stage. The reasons are as follows.
The Future of Chinese
Sample 1
First of all, Chinese characters are a kind of writing in pictures, which are easy to learn and memorize. Second, compared with other languages, Chinese has much emotional colouring, including happiness, angriness, sadness and pleasure. There are many words and expressions for choices to express different feelings. Third, taking up one-fifth of the world’s population, China will have more and more effect on the world in all kinds of fields, like politics, economy
and culture. China will become the centre of the world. And certainly Chinese, as the mother language of it, will be used more and more often. From a long run, Chinese will have a bright future and have the opportunity to be the world language.
Sample 2
Chinese is one of working languages in the United Nations. Not only people living inside China, but also many Chinese outside China speak it. You will find large or small groups of Chinese people living in almost every country in the world. They are living and working there. Chinese has the largest number of speakers in the world.
However, we have entered a period in history
The Future of Chinese
when children are all learning beginners or higher level English learners. But looking into the future, the number of learners may grow smaller almost as quickly as it increased. Many language learners are expressing an interest in learning Chinese.
