Honestly, I'm not much of an expert on countries and their cultures, but for some
reason I think all of them speak English. Yes, they may have a different accent and
culture, their own traditions, but the language is somewhat common.

1. 1. Spelling
Many words that are otherwise unrelated and are spelled differently sound the same
when spoken (for instance, "pair" vs "pear"). This isn't a big problem in speech as
people can usually understand what you mean from the context of what you're saying,
but grasping these spelling differences is vital if you want to be an effective written
communicator.
2. Pronunciation
English isn't a phonetic language, which means words are spelled differently from the
way they're spoken. Words that are spelled exactly the same may be spoken
completely differently (for example, "I'll read the newspaper" vs "I read the
newspaper"). Understanding these words is crucial in order to understand both written
and spoken English.

4. Variations of the language
When it comes to the sheer number of native and non-native speakers, English is the
biggest language in the world. Over time, this has caused many variations of it to
appear and evolve differently in different parts of the world. Accents, dialects, local
phrases, slang, and other variations all play a role in this.
This can be a serious problem for English students who encounter distinctive variants
such as Scottish English for the first time. Being aware of these differences
beforehand and taking them into account when communicating is crucial in order to
avoid confusion.

1. if we speak the same language, we will avoid language conflict and there will be less
reason for war.
2. When a language dies, the world loses some of the ability to survive. Once the
traditions, culture and language of a civilization perish our world loses a piece of its
existence. The fact that in the course of so many years some civilizations have lost
their originality is a bad thing, because each civilization is a curiosity for someone.
Maybe some people want to discover new traditions and new cultures.
In my opinion, the disappearance of a language or a civilization deeply is
disappointing because we all know that we can prevent this but we do nothing. So
when a language dies, we lose a piece of ourselves, of our reality. It can also lead to
the disappearance of a civilization, and that civilization can be our own.

In my opinion, English will be more fluent in the future, because people will practice
speaking and mastering it. You ask me, "What will they need to know?" My answer is
too obvious: "because now the most practical language when setting up for work is
English and to go abroad, or work there, live and just relax, people need to have a
base and more. Well, for example, maybe slang, maybe something. The main goal, so
to speak, today is to speak fluently, without errors in pronunciation, and of course to
learn it not only in English lessons

16. а Instead, we make a fist and hold it up in front of our face while
sticking( підняти) up our thumb. It’s popularly known as “the thumbs up sign.” Even
a local supermarket chain uses it in its advertising. Thus, without saying a word, we
tell someone that it is “OK”, or they have done a “good job.” But move that same fist
and thumb back and forth towards either shoulder, and it now means you want a lift.
In Nigeria, the “thumbs up” sign is a rude gesture.
Remember the verbal bumbler, former president George Bush Snr, saying, “Read my
lips?” That was an endorsement of non-verbal communication! He had difficulties
with words.

all these gestures mean and carry a negative at once, as can be seen from their facial
expressions and the location of their hands. In everyday life, I often look like a lady
depicted in a baby, because I am often dissatisfied with something. I don't consider it
a global problem, but when people criticize or are better than me, it starts to annoy
me, to be honest, and I become one.

У світі жестів найкращою порадою було б не забувати питати і бути в курсі. Якщо
ви бачите жест, який плутає, запитайте місцевого, що це означає. Потім будьте
обізнані про багато знаків тіла і звичаї навколо вас, щоб не образити інших.
Однак ми також живемо в світі більш жвавих жестів, таких як жести водіїв
усього віку і типів. Уявіть, якщо хочете, двох водіїв, які гаряче сперечаються, хто
саме мав перевагу в дорозі до аварії. Руки, безумовно, будуть літати, показуючи
один одному, Хто що зробив, пальці будуть вказувати на провину, а голови
будуть гойдатися в (негативній) зневірі до жахливої якості водіння іншого!
Без жестів Світ був би абсолютно безбарвним. Мабуть, 60% всього спілкування є
невербальним. Маючи такий високий показник, як ми можемо спілкуватися з
іншими без використання різних жестів?
Мова тіла і жести передають повідомлення так само добре, як і слова, можливо,
навіть краще. Цілком природно використовувати наші тіла для передачі
повідомлення. Від підкликання офіціанта до нашого столика до навчальних
жестів батьків по відношенню до дітей - Всі ми використовуємо цю систему
спілкування.
