Online,English has become a common language for users from all over the world. In the process,the language itself is changing.

61      Some people say that within 10 years people will use English widely only on the Internet,but in forms it is very different from what we accept and know as English today. Why?

That’s because more people now speak English as a second language. And they use it to communicate with other

non-native speakers,especially on the Internet where they pay little attention to grammar and spelling.

“  62         ，’ says Bill Smith,a professor of language at American University in Washington D. C.

Internet users already create a number of different “ Englishes ” like Hinglish ( Indian English) , Spanglish (Spanish English) and Konlish ( Korean English) 63     

Some words are taken from traditional English. “Blur” ( = “not clear” or “slow” ) , for example,is often  used  in Singlish(Singaporean English) .  64      In Chinglish( Chinese English) , “long time no see” means    “have  not seen

you for a long time”. “In fact,most people speak different languages—It’s less common to speak only one，” says Mr  Smith.  65     

Instead，other languages are pushing them into English，and in the process，creating something new.

 Reading is very important to help you learn English. To learn as much as you can from reading,you need to read different kinds of English. This book provides not only different kinds of English but also a good way to check your reading ability.

There are four parts in the book ：

Part 1 is Messages ： In this part somebody wants  to send information  in writing  to  somebody  else.  There is  a test  on

timetable and a test on text messages.

Part 2 is People: In this part all the tests are about people. For example,there is an informal letter between friends. There is formal (正式的）English in biography (传记）.There is a job application as a model to help with your writing,as well as testing your reading.

Part 3 is Places： In this part,too,many different kinds of English are shown,some informal and some formal. There is the informal English of a holiday postcard. There is also the formal English in a letter of complaint.

Part 4 is Things ： You will find some descriptive writing in this part. There are descriptions of clothes and of a computer.

You can do these tests in any order you like,or you  can do all  the  tests  with  a  formal  or informal  text.  I enjoyed

 People at home keep asking me, “Is it hard to leam Chinese? Why have you learned it so well?” Well,there’s one thing that makes Chinese easy to leam： there are so many people to talk to. You’ve probably heard that it’s the most spoken language. Today it，s also one of the most written languages online. And with so many Chinese people interested in  learning

English，it could be easier to find a friend for language learning. You just have to know where  to look for them.

The really good place to look for them is QQ. QQ has the same status in China as AIM( AOL Instant Messenger) does in the U. S. It is reported that at any moment,up to 9,000,000 people are using QQ. They’re at work,in an Internet bar or at home,and the information of the users can be found. If you sign on with your address set to “abroad”，you’ll soon find that many thousands of them are interested in speaking to you!This is a great way for you to learn Chinese,and for them to leam English. I think it’s a very interesting way of cultural  contact(文化交流）,too,

for ordinary people around the world to be able to have one-to-one contact.

  You may know the English letters A,B and C,but do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas,but do you know there is such a thing as a “banana person”？ How strange!Are these people from “another earth”？ No. They are just Chinese people like you and me.

 ABC means American-born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese,but was bom in the United States. Sometimes,people call an ABC a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So,when a person is a banana,he or she is white inside — thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside—looking like a Chinese. Do you know why? Usually,ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them do not speak Chinese. Also,they are not interested in Chinese politics.

  But if ABC cannot speak Chinese,can we still call them Chinese people? Yes,of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas Chinese. These people may be citizens of another country,like the US,England or Canada,but they have Chinese blood. Their parents,grandparents or even great grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair. But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not people of the People’s Republic of China. For example，we all know the famous scientist C. N. Yang. He got the Noble Prize in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.
