- Hello. I’m from Britain, and you?

- Hello. I’m from the USA. What do you think about English as an

international language?

- English is changing very quickly but languages have to change,

don’t they? I mean, my parents don’t understand some of my vocabulary, but that’s OK. In twenty years my children will use words I don’t

understand. It’s normal.

- I’m very worried about the future of English. Some teenagers to-

day can hardly read or write it at all. Even on the radio or TV you hear

slang and grammatical mistakes every day. A language is like a garden

– you have to control it. English is becoming a jungle

- I think the name of the language will change. Soon people won’t

call it English, they’ll call it “American”

- Don’t you agree? I mean, these days the capital of the English

language is Washington, not London.

- I don’t agree with you. English will become more important and it

won’t change its name.

-Ok. Let’s meet in ten-years’ time and continue our discussion.​
