More and more people realize that every educated person should know a foreigner language. The
most popular language now is English. English is a world language. It's the language of
progressive science and technology, trade and cultural relation, commerce and business. It's the
universal language of international aviation, shipping and sports. It is also the major language of
diplomacy. Hundreds and hundreds of books, magazines and newspapers are printed in English.
Half of the world's scientific literature is written in English too.
English is spoken by more than 350 million people . It is the official language of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland of the United States of America, of Australia and
New Zealand. English is used as one of the official languages in Canada, the Republic of South
Africa and the Irish Republic. It's also spoken as second language speakers in many parts of Asia
and Africa.
There are also other languages that are popular in the world. For example over 1000 million
