    Have you ever heard of the language Esperanto (世界语)? This is a man-made language for world use.
But it hasn't been known by most of people around the world, let alone (更不必说) worldwide use. There
are more than 3,000 languages in the world today,but only about ten are major (主要的) languages. Among
them English is the most popular one in the world.        
    More than 350 million people speak English as their first language. Major English-speaking countries
are Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA. Another 400 million speak it as a second
language. No one knows how many people speak English as a foreign language. They usually learn English
as a school subject instead of learning it from their parents. Chinese is the only language with more speakers
than English. This is because of the large population of China.
     English is the language for a better understanding between peoples of the world. It is also the language
for business and science. Nearly half of the business deals in Europe are done in English, and more than
half of the science magazines are in English. English is widely used in the world's computer network.
And children should begin with English when they learn how to use computers. Through the English language
peoples of different countries are able to work together and make things even better.
