EXERCISE 4
Read the following text. ENGLISH LANGUAGE
.
English is a West Germanic language originating in England, and
the first language for most people in Australia, Canada, the
Commonwealth Caribbean, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom
and the United States of America (also commonly known as the
Anglosphere). It is used extensively as a second language and as an
official language throughout the world, especially in Commonwealth
countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and South Africa, and in
many international organisations.
Modern English is sometimes described as the global lingua franca.
English is the dominant international language in communications,
science, business, aviation, entertainment, radio and diplomacy. The
influence of the British Empire is the primary reason for the initial spread
of the language far beyond the British Isles. Following World War II, the
growing economic and cultural influence of the United States has
significantly accelerated the spread of the language. On an average
school day approximately one billion people are learning English in one
form or another.
A working knowledge of English is required in certain fields,
professions, and occupations. As a result over a billion people speak
English at least at a basic level. English is one of six official languages of
the United Nations.
