2. How did English become an international language?
3. When do you think Chinese will become an international language?
4. Who owns English?Watch and readWho owns English?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.
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? AsChina 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.
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.Read the passage and answer the questions.1. How many people in the world use English?About 400 million people in the world use English.2. How did English become an international
language?In the nineteenth century, English became the
language of world trade.
In the twentieth century, the US spread English
to the world through newspapers, television and
films .3. When do you think Chinese will become an
international language?By the middle of the 21st century.4. Who owns English?By everyone who speaks English.Language points1. In Ghana, India and Singapore, English is
used as a working language.

● Finish your composition with a conclusion. The Future of Chinese
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 moreSample: 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.
Second, compared with other languages,
Chinese has much emotional coloring,
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
effects 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.Homework一. 根据提示完成句子。 How much have you a_________ this year in

English was once spoken only by people in a
part of Britain. But during the twentieth century,
it became a world language - a language used by
speakers of many different languages to
communicate with each other.
Although it is called a “world language”, more
than five billion people - most of the people on the earth - do not speak English as either their
first or second language. However, hundreds of
millions of people use it, and hundreds of
millions are learning it.
Because so many people learn and use
English, it may be hard to imagine that one day
English may not be the world’s leading language.
Remember that there were other important
languages in the past which lost their importance
or even disappeared. In Europe, Latin was used as a common language for many centuries before
people stopped using it. French was once a
language known by all well-educated people, and

based on Latin, German
