English Around the World (II)
English has become widely used around the world . Why has this happened We may find the answer from history.
In the nineteenth century, Great Britain became a powerful country, so English became an international language. Then, since the 1950s, the USA has become more and more powerful. The American computer and Internet industry have taken the leading position in the world. As a result, the Internet has helped English to become much more popular.
