English is spoken by more than 400 million people as their first language.It is spoken by most people in the USA,Great Britain,Canada,Australia and New Zealand.But it is also used very widely as a foreign language in many other countries of the world.
Look at the back of your watch.You many see the English words “Made in China”.Look at something else,for example,a TV set.Again you may find the English words “Made in China”,“Made in Japan”,or even “Made in Germany”.
English is the first language in none of these countries.Why are English words written on these things?It is because in the modern world,English is widely used for business between different countries.When a German buy something from a Japanese,or an Indian sells something to a Frenchman,they often use English.Most business letters around the world are written in English.Half the world’s telephone calls are made in English.Three quarters of the world books and newspapers are written in English.More than three quarters of the information on the Internet is in English too!
If you travel in India,France,Germany,or almost any other country in the world,you will still be able to use English.It is used by travelers and business people all over the world.It is one of the world’s most important languages as it is so widely used.That is why more and more people in China are interested in learning English.
