B. Read the following passage carefully, then answer the questions 
English, the International Language 
More than 6,000 languages are spoken in the world today. More than 400 million people speak 
English as their first, or native, language. Yet there are now even more speakers of English as a second 
language than there are speakers of English as a first language! The number of people who speak English is 
growing quickly . Because of the huge population of China – more than one billion people – Chinese is the 
only language with more speakers than English. 
 English is the native or official language of one–fifth of the land area of the world. It is spoken in 
Australia, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States. It is also one of 
the official languages in India. 
 More people study English than any other language. In many countries, the textbooks in universities 
are in English. Furthermore, many university classes are taught in English even though English is not the 
native language of the students. 
 English is the language of international communication. It is the language of international business, 
research, and science. More than three–fourths of the world’s mail is written in English. Three–fifths of the 
world’s radio stations use English. More than half of the world’s scientific and research journals are in 
English. Most other languages have borrowed many English words. 
 Is English a good international language? It is probably the world’s largest language with more than 
one million words! The grammar is simpler than in the other major languages. However, English spelling is 
difficult, especially for nonnative speakers of English. The major reason that spelling in English is diffcult is 
that Modern English spelling represents Old English pronunciation. The English we use today is written 
 5 
almost the same as it was hundreds and hundreds of years ago, but the way people pronounce the words has 
changed a lot. Therefore, many words in English are not pronounced the way they are spelled.

1. Which countries is English the native language? 

