English is a language of the world

Teacher: Good morning! On our lesson today we’ll speak about English. English is a language of the world and how important to learn foreign languages and especially English! First of all, some facts from the history of English:

Language belongs to each of us. Everyone uses words. There is almost nothing in our lives that is not touched by language. We live in and by language. We all speak and we all listen.

The history of English is a story of wonderful success. When Julius Caesar [‘si:ze] landed in Britain nearly two thousand years ago, English didn’t exist. Five years later, in the 5th century, English was already spoken by people who inhabited Great Britain but there were not many and their English was not the language we know today. At the 16th century English was the native language of about 6 million Englishmen. At that time English was not used anywhere else except Great Britain.

Nowadays 750 million people all over the world use English and half of those speak it as a mother tongue.
