English language & literature

How many people speak English worldwide?

English is one of the most widely used languages in the world. Recent estimates suggest that over 337 million people speak English as their first language, with possibly some 350 million speaking it as a second language. America has the largest number of English speakers - over 226 million speak the language as a mother tongue. English is an official language in India, alongside Hindi, and some 3,000 English newspapers are published throughout the country. English is also the favoured language of the world’s major airlines and international commerce. Over 80 per cent of the world’s electronically stored information is in English and two-thirds of the world’s scientists read in English. English is an official language, or has a special status in over 75 of the world’s territories.

If the rest of the world isn’t talking English, they’re borrowing English words to add to their own language: the Japanese go on a ‘pikunikku’ (picnic), Italians program their computers with ‘il software’, Germans talk about ‘ein Image Problem’ and ‘das Cashflow’ and Czechs say ‘ahoy!’ for ‘hello’ - a greeting traditionally used by English sailors, which is interesting as there’s no sea in the Czech Republic!

Facts

These are interesting facts...

1 What is the difference between the United Kingdom and Great Britain?

The United Kingdom is made up of the countries of England, Scotland,

Wales and Northern Ireland. Its full name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Great Britain, on the other hand, comprises only England, Scotland and Wales. It is the largest island of the British Isles. Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic form the second largest island.

The Isle of Man and the Channel Islands are not part of the United Kingdom. They are largely self-governing with their own legislative assemblies and systems of law. The British Government is, however, responsible for their defence and international relations.

In this site the term ‘Britain’ is used informally to mean the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

8 What are ‘GMT’ and ‘British Summertime’?

GMT or ‘Greenwich Mean Time’ is the local time of the 0 degree meridian that passes through Greenwich in London, from which the standard times of different areas of the globe are calculated. Thus it is the standard time for Britain, and a basis for other time zones in the world.
Summer time or BST (British Summer Time) runs from the end of March to the end of October (the last Sunday in each month), when clocks are advanced one hour ahead of GMT to gain maximum use of daylight hours.

Hi!!, today I am very tired, but now I am going to write somethings that I saw.

I read on the internet an article and I think that is very interesting because talk about from the English language.

Beatiful Forever!

My friends think I'm crazy. My father says I'll never get a job now, and my mother is worried that I won't get married. However, I'm glad I got a tattoo. Last month, I had a beautiful sun design tattooed onto the top of my left arm. It's smallish, neat and feminine. It won't get lost like jewelry or wear out like clothing. Even when I am old, I will still have my lovely sun. It makes me feel unique and confident. Even when I wear clothing taht covers my tattoo, I feel special because I know it's there. I know some people think tattoos are unattractive, but I love the special look of my new symbol.

▓▒ My first jOb. ▒▓

☆☆ This was a job we did in our first class with Professor of Reading and Writing in English...


My first job was as a sales clerk in a small clothing shop. It wasn't a difficult job, and it wasn't really a very interesting job.

Every weekend i had to open the store at 10:00am. I couldn't be late. I learned how to choose and order new clothing. I helped customers find clothes, and I kept the store neat and clean. Dressing neatly and professionally was an important part of the job. I used the cash register and handled credit cards, so I had to be very careful. These things all taught me responsability. I don't work with clothing anymore, but I still used that important skill I learned in my first job.
