It is said that by the end of 2000，one billion people could use English to communicate with others，including both native speakers and non-native speakers．
"The rise and fall of a language is closely connected with that country's economic（经济的） strength and development potential （潜力）．"Rhodri Jones，the English 2000 manager of the ELT group of the British Council said．

With the book translated into Chinese and to be published soon，the book might be brought to wider sphere （范围）of people．
"From the book，we learn many facts about the English language，and we may be able to predict （预测） its future after reading it．"said Dorothy Humphrey，who used to be a senior English teacher for the British Council．

6．Why play games？Because they are fun，and a lot more besides．Following the rules…planning your next move…acting as a team member…these are all"game"ideas that you will come across throughout your life．
Think about some of the games you played as a young child，such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek（捉迷藏）．Some games are entertaining and fun．But perhaps more importantly，they translate into exciting dreams that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives，such as taking turns and cooperating（合作）．
Many children's games have a practical side．Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups．For instance，some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones，which sharpens the hand-eye coordination（协调）needed in hunting．
