Preparation:
Read the following passage and try to understand the main idea and some new words.
At the end of the 16th century,about five to seven million people spoke English.Nearly all of them lived in England.Later in the next century,people from England made voyages① to conquer② other parts of the world and because of that,English began to be spoken in many other countries.Today,more people speak English as their first,second or a foreign language than ever before.
At first the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today.It was based more on③ German than the English we speak at present.Then gradually④ between about AD 800 and 1150,English became less like German because those who ruled England spoke first Danish and later French.These new settlers enriched⑤ the English language and especially⑥ its vocabulary⑦.So by the 1600s? Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before.In 1620 some British settlers moved to America.Later in the 18th century some British people were taken to Australia too.English began to be spoken in both countries.
English now is also spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia.For example,India has a very large number of fluent⑧ English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947.During that time English became the language for government and education.English is also spoken in Singapore and Malaysia and countries in Africa such as South Africa.Today the number of people learning English in China is increasing rapidly.In fact,China may have the largest number of English learners.Will Chinese English develop its own identity⑨?Only time will tell.
