4 Who owns English
In the twentieth century, the US spread English to
the world through newspapers, television and films.
By the middle of the twenty -first century.
About 400 million people in the world use English.
Everyone who speaks it.
Who owns English
1. English is spoken by about 400 million people, mostly in the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. In Ghana, India and Singapore, English is used as a working language, for example, between bosses and secretaries, and between doctors and patients, although there are other languages for everyday use. In China and many other countries, English is the most important foreign language that children learn at school, because when they grow up, it will be quite possible for them to meet people from other countries.
They will need a common language to communicate with each other. English is now used by nearly a quarter of the world’s population, and anywhere you go in the world, there is a good chance that you will meet someone who speaks English.
2. The reason why English is spoken everywhere is that in the nineteenth century, English became the language of world trade. And in the twentieth century, the US spread English to the world through newspapers, television and films. It is now the common language for international travel, science, industry, and recently, information technology and the Internet.
3. It is also important to know that English has borrowed many words from other languages, for example, “restaurant” from French, “zero” from Arabic, “piano” from Italian, and “tofu” from Chinese.
4. Will the importance of English last As China continues to grow, many people think that Chinese will become as common as English by the middle of the twenty-first century. More and more schools in Europe are teaching Chinese as a foreign language, together with some European languages. However, most people still think that English will be used most around the world, at least for the next twenty or thirty years.
5. So who owns English The answer is everyone who speaks it — the British, the Indians and the Chinese all help make it a rich language. Even though we speak different types of English, we are all part of an international club. We all own English.

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.
First of all, Chinese characters are a kind of writing in pictures, which are easy to learn and memorize.
The Future of Chinese
Sample 1
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.
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 when children are all learning beginner or higher level English. 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.
