IS ENGLISH ANINTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE?

IS ENGLISH ANINTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE?

Nowadays, more than 300,000,000 people speak English. Peoplespeak English as their first or native language, in countries such asthe United Kingdom, the United States, Australia or New Zealand. Inother countries like Pakistan, India, Guyana or South Africa, Englishis not the mother tongue, but people speak it as a second language. InCanada, they have two official languages, English and French.

Since the beginning of the XX century, English

has become the main language of internationalcommunication. Although Mandarin Chinese and Spanishboth have more native speakers, English is certainly theworld’s most popular language in the world.

English is today an ‘open’ language. It has incorporatedwords from Latin, Greek, and many modern languages.For example, many words derive from Hindi, such as pajamas and bungalow .

In Latin American and European countries, English is a very important foreign language and people usually learn

it at school. The importance of English has grown since the World Wars of the last century. The cinema, music, andtelevision have helped take American culture intomany countries that listen to American music and watch American films, sit-coms, and cartoons.

 There are, of course, various small differences between

the English that people use in different parts of theworld. There are also numerous different accents, noneof which is ‘better’ than the others.

 The most common differences in English are between American and British English, but in Australia, Scotland,and Ireland there are also differences in vocabulary.

For a long time, people around the world haveconsidered English as the world’s most important language.

Has this process finished? Only time will answer 

this question.

She became an expert on hygienequickly.In 1853, she found her first ‘paid’

 job. She worked until October, 1854and then went to help nurse the Britishsoldiers of the war in Crimea. The soldiersthought that Florence Nightingale was a greatlady, so when she returned to Britain, she was aheroine.People wrote songs about her and Queen Victoriaand Prince Albert gave her an award.

In 1859, Florence wrote a small book called ‘Noteson Nursing’, with a special section about taking

care of babies. The book sold millions of 

copies all over the world.In 1860, she opened the NightingaleTraining School for nurses at St

Thomas Hospital in London, whereFlorence almost invented modernnursing as we know it today.In 1861, Florence became ill. Shecould not walk anymore and for thenext 30 years she continued working

hard from her home at 35 South Street,in London.

By 1896, she was so frail that she couldn’tleave her bedroom.

On August 13, 1910, she fell asleep and died

quietly.She was buried in the family grave at East Wellow.Six sergeants of the British Army carried hercoffin.Her only memorial is a line on the familytombstone “F. N. Born 1820. Died 1910. She livedfor ninety years and three months.”

UNIT 4 118 

I _____________________________________In ancient times, people invented new 

machines, materials, and ways of doing things, but no one knows what the first invention was.Prehistoric inventors found ways to make and keep fires burning. They invented ways to grow plants for food and learned how to tame animals.Other great prehistoric inventions were the wheel, pottery, and ways tobuild houses.

II _____________________________________One great invention was the printing 

press. A German named JohannesGutenberg invented a press to print books in the 1400s. Books became muchmore common and helped other inventors make new things.

 After the invention of the steam engine around 1700, inventors mademany new machines. They invented locomotives, steamboats, and allkinds of factory machines.

 Another great invention, the internal combustion engine, led to theinvention of automobiles in the late 1800s.

 The discovery of electricity led to many wonderful inventions. Many 

scientists studied electricity. An American inventor named Thomas A.Edison invented the electric lamp, the phonograph, and other things that use electricity, in the late 1800s.

III _____________________________________No one knows the names of prehistoricinventors. Until the 1900s, most inventorsworked alone. Today, most inventionscome from scientists and engineers who work in teams. Most of themwork for universities, government agencies, or big companies.

A day in the life of a

firefighter 

This week we’re looking at what it takes to be a firefighter and

we’re talking to Charlie, who has been a firefighter for 

nearly six years.

“I’m lucky because I really love my job. I enjoy working

in a team and I get along with my co-workers. I also like

the contact I have with the public; it’s great to know that

what I do makes a difference. I have to work on

the weekend a lot, because this is when the

majority of incidents happen.”

“Occasionally the work can be frustrating because we get hoax

 phone calls from people who say they have a problem, but when

we arrive, there’s nothing there. We can’t ignore any emergency

calls and we have to go to investigate, but we discover that they

have just made up a story for fun.”

“At other times the job can be very dangerous. Sometimes people

are injured because they couldn’t get away from the fire quickly

enough. The hardest part of my job is when I see people who are

hurt.”

“Our work is often very physical, so we have to keep ourselves in good shape. I love

my job and I’ll carry on doing it for as long as I can.”

The Inventionof the

BicycleWritten by Rebecca Bond

A long time ago, nobody had a bicycle. Nobody

rode a bicycle to school or to work, or to the park

 just for fun. Nobody even thought about bicycles.

There were no bicycles!

Then one day someone had an idea and the bicycle

was born! Leonardo da Vinci, a very famous artist,

inventor and scientist, thought a bicycle seemed

like a good invention. He made the first drawing of a bicycle. That was about 500 years ago.

Unfortunately, he died before his idea became a

real machine, but it was still a good idea, and other

people decided to work on it.

About 300 years ago (200 years after Leonardo did

his drawing), somebody finally made the first

bicycle. It wasn’t like the bicycles we have today. It

had wooden wheels and it didn’t have any pedals.

Instead of pedaling, the rider sat on the seat and

rolled along by pushing his feet on the ground. Itwasn’t perfect, but it was a good start.

Little by little, more inventors made the bicycle

better. They added pedals. They made wheels out

of metal and rubber.They discovered better ways to

steer and to brake.

About 100 years ago, they started making bicycles

that looked very much like the bicycles we ride

today. They were very good bicycles. Suddenly,

everyone wanted a bicycle! Bicycles were a quickand easy way to get around and, most of all, they

were fun. All the bicycle-building stores were very

busy. They had a lot of business!

Today, people all around the

world ride bicycles. They ride

them on dirt roads in small

towns and on crowded streets in

big cities. In some cities,  there

are so many bicycle riders that it

seems like everyone is riding abicycle! Well done, Leonardo!
