Have you ever heard of the language Esperanto (世界语) ? This is a man-made language for world
use. But it hasn't been known by most of people around the world, let alone (更不必说) worldwide
use. There are more than 3 000 languages in the world today, but only about ten are major (主要的)
languages. Among them English is the most popular one in the world.
More than 350 million people speak English as their first language. Major English-speaking countries
are Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA. Another 400 million speak it as a second
language. No one knows how many people speak English as a foreign language. They usually learn
English as a school subject instead of learning it from their parents. Chinese is the only language with
more speakers than English. This is because of the large population of China.
English is the language for a better understanding between people of the world. It is also the
language for business and science. Nearly half of all the business deals (交易) in Europe are done
in English, and more than half of the science magazines (杂志) are in English. English is widely used
in the world's computer network (计算机网络). And children should begin with English when they
learn how to use computers and learn online. Through the English language people of different countries
are able to work together and make things even better.
