English is an important international language, but that doesn't mean it's easy to learn.Many experts have tried to make English easier to learn-but they weren't always successful.
In 1930, ProfessorC.K.Ogden of Cambridge University invented Basic English.It had only 850 words(and just eighteen verbs)and Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours.The problem was that people who learned Basic English could write and say simple messages, but they couldn't understand the answers in ‘real’ English! It was also impossible to explain a word if it wasn't in the Basic English word list.
R.E.Zachrisson, a university professor in Sweden, decided that the biggest problem for learners of English was spelling, so he invented a language with the name Anglic.Anglic was similar to English, but with much simpler spelling.‘Father’ became ‘faadher’, ‘new’ become ‘nue’ and ‘years’ became ‘yeerz’.Unluckily, Anglic never became popular.
In the age of international communication through the Internet, who knows what will happen? …a new form of English might appear.A large number of the world's e-mails are in English and include examples of ‘NetLingo’ like OIC(Oh, I see)and TTYL(Talk to you later).In another fifty year, English might not be used.We might all speak fluent Internetish!

I fell in love 97 English at a very young age, because I thought it was a wonderful language. Full of strong wishes of 98 English, I began to learn it. But soon I found it 99 than expected. There were too many words, expressions and many other things to memorize (记忆). And even if you know how to write them, you can’t 100 them correctly. And I did rather badly in my first English test. While I was in 101 , my English teacher gave me much help. I wish to practice speaking English with foreigners every day!
