Before the 17^th century, most of the native English speakers lived in England. After the 17^th century, British people began to move to other {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (country). Gradually, English was spoken there. At present {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (many) people speak English as their first, second or a foreign language than ever before. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (luck), native English speakers can understand each other even if they don't speak the same kind of English.

    English {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (change) and developed when cultures met and communicated with each other over the past centuries. The English {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (speak) in England between about AD450 and 1150 was very different {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the modern English we speak today. It was the new settlers that enriched the English language and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (especial) its vocabulary. The English language was settled by the 19^th century {#blank#}8{#/blank#} two big changes in English spelling happened. English now is also spoken as a foreign {#blank#}9{#/blank#} second language in South Asia. China may have the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (large) number of English learners.

    My mother and my brother were taking a trip to Washington, D.C. They came back with the most{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(amaze) story I have ever heard!

    When they passed by New York, their train failed to work{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(proper), the conductors asked everyone to move forward to another train. When everyone{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(seat), my mother realized she didn't have her handbag, in {#blank#}4{#/blank#}was her money, tickets, credit card and license. She rushed to a conductor. “Excuse me, I left my bag on the other train. Can you stop the train?” The conductor replied, “Oh, I'm sorry,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}we cannot let you off.” My mom quickly picked up her cellphone,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}only thing she had, and started calling someone for help but{#blank#}7{#/blank#}vain.

    Luckily, when the train finally stopped in Delaware, a man left the train and handed my mom $ 112. My mother thanked him and felt grateful for his {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(kind). She got the man's address and promised{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(find) a way to pay him back. My mother and my brother finally arrived in Washington, D.C., but did not get to do all the things as{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(plan). They got to take a few like rides, buy souvenirs, and more. They made the best of the worst vacation!

    Last Saturday I went to the library as usually. At about noon, I was enjoying my reading near a lake while suddenly I hear someone crying for help. I went up to see what was happened. I was shocking to find a little child struggling in the water in the distance while many peoples were standing by without doing anything. Without any hesitation, I had pushed through the crowd as I took off my coat, but jumped into the water quickly. I managed to reach him and carried him back to safety. To his great relief, the kid was saved.

    I am proud what I did. I hope everyone can give a hand when someone else is in need.

    In many countries, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} is not unusual for families of different backgrounds to live together in the shared space. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, in the United States, this idea may still be considered odd.

       But this type of housing, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(call) co-housing, is gaining {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (popular) in the United States, too. Co-housing complexes are popping up across the country. For many people, this way of life is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} relief to the busy modern lifestyle. There is often a “common house” with a kitchen and dining room, meeting room, and maybe a workshop of library or music room in a co-housing community.  About 25 co-housing communities {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (build) in recent years, and 150 more are planned.
