The English language was strongly influenced by an event that took place more than 1,400 years ago. In the year 597,the Roman Catholic Church began its attempt to make Christianity the religion of Britain.
The language of the Catholic Church was Latin. Latin was not spoken as a language in any country at that time. But it was still used by some people.
Latin made it possible for a church member from Rome to speak to a church member from Britain. Educated people from different countries could communi?cate by using Latin.
Latin had a great effect on the English language. The Latin word "dis?cus" became several words in English,including "disk", "dish" and "desk". Some English names of plants such as ginger and cedar come from Latin. So do some medical words such as cancer.
English is a little like a living thing that continues to grow. English began to grow more quickly when William Caxton returned to Britain in the year 1476. He had been in Holland and other areas of Europe where he had learned printing. He returned to Britain with the first printing press.
The printing press made it possible for almost anyone to buy a book. It helped spread education and the English language.
Slowly,during the 1500s English became the modern language we would recognize. English speakers today would be able to communicate with English speakers in the last part of the 16th century.
It was during this time period that the greatest writer in English produced his works. His name was William Shakespeare. His plays continue to be prin?ted,acted in theaters,and seen in motion pictures almost four hundred years after his death.
The development of the English language took a giant step just nine years before the death of William Shakespeare. Three small British ships crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 1607. They landed in an area that would later become the southern American state of Virginia. They began the first of several British colonies.

The year 2013 was very bad for my life. I was almost in depression because of whatever all happened with me.
In those days,I met a guy in office. This guy was much younger than me,but still very soon we became good friends. On my birthday,he offered me to spend my birthday evening with him. It was the lovely evening I spent and felt so nice after long time. He made my birthday so special. Very soon,our friendship became stronger and finally we fell in love in just few days. These days it's very rare if people get love in return,it's always either girl or boy who loves more but never equal. So I found myself so lucky that I experi?enced equal love in return.
