(1.25 points) All languages are in flux. In other words, they are constantly changing. This is especially true of English, which is a real global language. There are now three times more non-native speakers of English than natives. About one billion people speak it as a foreign language, while only 360 million speak it as a mother tongue. So why is English changing and is this a good thing? One reason is globalisation. Today business meetings can be held with people from all over the world – for example, Brazil, Nigeria and Japan. Nearly always, the only common language spoken will be English. This has led to the creation of a new language variety called International English. It is a kind of English which speakers from all countries can use to talk to each other. English plays a different role in different countries. In Singapore, Hong Kong and the Philippines, English is spoken as a second language. In the Philippines, Tagalog (the country’s main language) and English merge to create a variety called Taglish. But some local languages don’t merge with official languages in this way, and they are in danger because fewer people speak them. Question 28. What is the main idea of the passage? A. English is no longer changing. B. English is constantly changing. C. Fewer people are speaking English today. D. English is only spoken in English-speaking countries. Question 29.
