English is the Language of International Communication
I. Though there are almost three thousand languages in the world, English is the
most universal. It is the official language in over forty countries. It is the most used
language in international business, science and medicine. Approximately 400
million people speak English as a mother tongue (700 million speak Chinese, 100
million speak Russian and 100 million speak German).
The native speakers of English live in Great Britain, in the United States of America,
Australia and New Zealand. English is one of the official languages in Canada, the
South African Republic; as a second language it is used in the former British and
USA colonies.
Learning a foreign language is not an easy thing. It is long and slow process that
takes a lot of time and efforts. Nowadays it is especially important to know foreign
languages. Even in the countries where English is not the first language, a number
of English words are used. Words from no other language, are borrowed more
often than from English. Hundreds of word borrowed from English can now be
found in other languages such as soda, hotel, golf, tennis, jeans, O.K, baseball,
airport etc. Many words are used just as they are. Others are changed to make
them more like in the native language, easier to say and remember.
English is everywhere. It is on signs, clothing, soft drinks and other goods around the
world. In spite of the popularity of the English words and phrases, they are not
always welcome. Some people think that the use of English words is dangerous for
the purity of their native language. Some countries tried to eliminate English as their
official language in order to save their native tongue.
Some people believe that English should be the international language. They
believe that business would run more smoothly if everyone spoke the same
language. Some language experts think that many languages are disappearing. In
some parts of the world, only a few people are left who can speak their native
language. In Ireland, for example, there are only a few areas where people speak
Gaelic, the native Irish language.
Languages have changed and disappeared throughout the history. This change is
inevitable. Because people have very strong feelings about the importance of
their native language, we probably will not have English as a universal language in
the near future. It is certain, however, that English words will continue to pop up
everywhere, whether some people like it or not. It is also certain that English will be
the language of business, diplomacy and international relations. Most educated
people speak English fluently. Attempts to introduce an artificial international
language like Esperanto have failed.
Vocabulary
Approximately -примерно, tо bоггоw-заимствовать,
in spite of - He учитывая,
to eliminate – ликвидировать,
smoothly – гладко, плавно, ровно,
to pop up – появляться,
attempt – попытка,
artificial – искусственный,
to fail – отказываться.

The History of the English Language
We may speak of English as having its beginning with the conquest and
settlement of a large part of the island of Britain by the Germanic tribes from the
European continent in the mid-fifth century, although the earliest written
documents belong to the seventh century. Of course these people did not, upon
their arrival in England, suddenly began to speak a new language. The history of
English goes back much further. English is one of a family of languages called
Indo-European. The languages of this family, which includes most of the modern
European languages as well as such important languages of antiquity as Latin,
Greek and Sanskrit, all resemble each other in a number of ways, particularly in
vocabulary. One needs no training in the fine points of philology to see that the
similarities between forms like the English,,father", German pater", Greek pater"
and Sanskrit „pirt", all of which have the same meaning, are likely to be the
result of an accident.
Within the Indo-European family of languages there are several subfamilies,
consisting of languages especially closely related. English belongs to the
Germanic branch of Indo-European and is a close relative of such languages as
German, Dutch, the Scandinavian languages and the now extinct Gothic.
