The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare's time is estimated to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.

In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the sit?uations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.

The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world lan?guage. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of the im?portant works in science? technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these coun?tries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as govern?ment, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.

Geena Davis knew she wanted to be a movie star when she was very young. She was not sure what gave her the idea, but she wanted to look like a movie star. "I have a lot of pictures from my childhood of me wearing sun?glasses," she says. "I used to wear them to watch TV."

Early movie actors started wearing sunglasses not because they looked good ， but because their eyes hurt. The lights used on movie sets were extremely bright and could cause a painful problem known as "Klieg eyes". It was named after the Klieg brothers who invented the lights. Actors wore sunglasses to give their eyes a rest. But when movie stars began wearing their sunglasses in public, they quickly became a must.

Eventually actors started wearing sunglasses in their movies as well as on the street. Audrey Hepburn wore ultra-cool Ray-Ban sunglasses in the 1961 movie, Break fast at Tiffany's. As a result, Ray-Ban sunglasses started to appear more and more in the movies. In 1979? Ray-Ban "Wayfarers" were worn by Jake and Elwood in The Blues Brothers. Tom Cruise wore Ray-Ban "Aviator" sunglasses in the 1986 hit, Top Gun. Then in 1997， Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones made Ray-Ban "Predator" sunglasses famous in Men in Black.

Of course sunglasses aren't 〗ust a fashion statement. The main reason to wear sunglasses is to protect our eyes against UV radiation. UV radiation can damage our eyes, so people now choose their sunglasses carefully. But you don't have to give up style for safety. The choice of frames and lenses availa?ble these days is huge. So you can protect your eyes and still be the coolest person on the beach.
