Answer 1

One possible version:
    English is one of the most widely used languages in the world. It is spoken by nearly three hundred
million people, in England, the United States, Australia, Canada and many other countries. It is one of
the working languages at international meetings and is more used than the others. It is said that 60 %
of the world's radio broadcasts and 70 % of the world's mail are in English. Millions of books and
magazines are written in English, too.  English is really a bridge to knowledge. With the help of English
we can learn modern science and technology faster and better form the developed countries. In this
way we can serve our country better.
