If we look about the past how people in Europe communicated just one hundred years ago, we
would be very surprised to find out that English was hardly used outside the United Kingdom. The
language most commonly used between people of different nationalities was French. However, that
is not the case nowadays. English has replaced French as the international language of
communication. Today, there are more people who speak English as a second language than people
who speak it as a first language.
There are many reasons why English has become the language of international communication.
Britain's colonization of many parts of the world had something to do with it, but it is mainly due to
America’s rise to the position of major world power. This helped spread popular American culture
throughout the world bringing the language with it.
But is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly? Linguists have
suggested “Esperanto”, an artificially put-together language, as a solution to international
communication problems but without success. So English will continue being the world language
until some other languages, maybe Chinese, which is the most widely- spoken native language in
the world, takes over as the world’s international language instead of English.
[Link] does the world “which” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Esperanto B. English C. a language D. Chinese
[Link] is the main reason why English has become the language of international
communication?
A. Britain’s becoming an international power C. The development of British culture
B. America’s becoming powerful D. The French losing many colonies
[Link] is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Esperanto is difficult to learn. C. The linguists don’t like Esperanto.
B. Esperanto is not a natural language D. Esperanto is becoming more and more
popular
[Link] would be a good title for this passage?
A. English language means English culture C. English as an international language
B. English - a difficult language to learn D. English in the future
[Link] to the passage, what was the most commonly used language a century ago?
A. Chinese B. French C. English D. Esperanto

was not very far from where I lived and it was easy to get there. It was a very beautiful place. There
was a flowing river with clear water that made it more beautiful. 1 could see some cows roaming
the field and eating grass. My brother and sister also went with me that day. With the sun shining
and a blue sky over our heads, the day was perfect for enjoying the countryside. After arriving there,
we relaxed and enjoyed the natural view around us first. Then we rented a boat and rode it into the
river to do some fishing, and luckily, we caught some big fish. Finally, we decided to go for a walk
in a beautiful small forest where we discovered a lot of birds and animals. We tried to count how
many different kinds of birds and animals there were, but we failed because there were so many. I
