Paragraph 4: Finally by the 19th century the language was settled.
Paragraph 5: English is now spoken wide in South Asia.
Step III Comprehending
1. Do Exercise 1 to test their literal understanding of the passage.
Answer: 2,5 and 6 are true while the others are false. The first statement is false because after the 17th century, more people began to speak English as a result of England conquering other parts of the world. Number 3 is false because languages don’t change often but only when people come into close contact. Number 4 is because the government has to use the language of the country that rules it.
2. Do Exercise 2 :.to understand its theme
Make a timetable of the development of English
During the 5th century AD: English was based more on German.
Between about AD 800 and 1150: English was influenced by Danish and French invaders.
By the 1600s: Shakespeare used a wider vocabulary than ever before.
1620: British settlers moved to America in the “Mayflower”
From the 18th century: British colonized Australia.

It is necessary for us to learn the narrow difference between different kinds of English if we hope to communicate fluently with native speakers of English from all over the world.
Different kinds of English have the same language core. If you have got a good command of one kind, you will almost have no difficulty understanding another kind of English.
