    English is spoken as a first language by most people in the USA, Britain, Australia, New Zealand,
Ireland and Canada. However, English is spoken all over the world. It is the main language in over 60
countries, including India, Singapore and many of the Caribbean and Pacific islands. In these places
English is spokenas a second language.
    English is also an international language in many other countries, like China and Japan. People in
these countries use it for business, and travelers to these countries use English when they get there to
communicate. Other people may learn English because they enjoy reading books in English, listening to
British or American music or watching American films.
    English has changed a lot over the years and still goes on changing. It is no longer right to talk about
British English or American English if the speakers come or don't come from those countries. People in
Japan and Korea, for example, may use the American spelling but may not sound like Americans.
    English will probably be the most widely used language in the world by the end of the 21st century.
This language no longer belongs to British, American or Australian speakers. It be-longs to anyone in the
world. So, as a middle school student of English today, think about how you can use this language. After
you leave school, you will almost certainly need it.
