Language points
1. 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.
(1) quarter 意为“四分之一”;分数作主语时,谓语动词要与其后

e.g. A quarter of the water is dirty.
Three quarters of the residents are over 55 years old.

【拓展】
①询问某地的人口数量时用句型“What’s the population of… ”
或“How large is the population of… ”,不能使用how many
或how much提问。
②表示某地有多少人口时, 常用“某地 + has a population of…”,
相当于“The population of + 某地 + is…”。形容人口的多或
少, 用large或small。
e.g. The population of Shanghai is very large.
2. It is also important to know that English has borrowed many words
from other languages…

3. More and more schools in Europe are teaching Chinese as a foreign
language, together with some European languages.

and the Chinese all help make it a rich language.
(1) Indian 此处用作名词, 意为“印度人”。还可以作形容词,
意为“印度的; 印度文化的; 印度人的”。
e.g. She is an Indian girl.
(2) help 后面跟动词不定式作宾语时, 不定式符号to可以省略。
e.g. I often help my mum (to) do housework.
5. Even though we speak different types of English, we are all
part of an international club.
even though 意为“虽然, 尽管”, 相当于even if, 多用于书面语中。
