    There are more than 3000 languages in the world today, but only about ten are major languages of the world. Among them English is the most popular.
    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.

根据短文内容完成下列各题

English is an important international language，but that doesn't mean it's easy to learn．①Many experts have tried to make English easier to learn,but they weren't always successful．

In 1930，Professor C．K．Ogden of Cambridge University invented Basic English．It had only 850 words and Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours．The problem was that people who learned Basic English could write and say simple messages，but they couldn't understand the answers in“real”English!

R．E．Zachrisson，a university professor in Sweden，decided that②对英语学习者来说最大的问题是拼写， so he invented a language with the name of Anglic．Anglic was similar③ English，but with much simpler spelling，"father'' became “faadher'' and “new'' became “nue”．Unluckily，Anglic never became popular．

In the age of international communication through the Internet，a new form of English might appear．A large number of world's emails are in English and include examples of“Netlingo”like OIC(Oh，I see)and TTYL，(Talk to you later)．In another fifty years，English might not be used．We might all speak fluent Internetish !

Do you want to learn a new language as fast as possible? Here are some ways to learn a new language.

Watch shows and listen to the radio. We are not born with the language speakers around. That's why we should build up the listening and watching environment （环境） for learning. Doing these can help you quickly improve your listening and speaking skills （技能）. Just turn on your computer and go to the Internet to get what you need.

Read kids' books and easy ones aloud. Kids' books are very easy to understand, so they can help you learn a new language well! After reading, you can tell the story to your family or friends in the new language.

Start from the 100 most used words. At first every word may be new for you, so we should choose the most used ones. They are used every day and we can use them every day, so we can remember them more quickly and use them a lot.

Don't worry about grammar. We are afraid to learn when we think grammar is very difficult. Grammar is important, but it is not the first thing for a language. The language is for talking and sharing something with others. Don't be afraid of making mistakes.
