Facts about English

How much do you know about the English language? As the internet and other
international media have become more and more popular, the amount of international
communication in English just keeps increasing.
There are many different reasons for this, but linguists believe that this trend will just
keep continuing - maybe even leading to a three-fold increase in speakers within the
next 10 years!
As you might guess, more people speak English as a second language. There are
estimated to be about four hundred and seventy million speakers of English as a foreign
language, and around three hundred and seventy five million speakers of English as a
first language worldwide. Since there are estimated to be over 2,500 languages in the
world, that's a very high proportion of people using English!
Computers have significantly changed international communication in the last 10 years.
English is the main language used on the internet and is the medium for about 80% of
information and text stored on all the computers in the world.
Of course, it's not the internet that first spread English around the world. Long before the
internet or even the computer was invented, science and international travel and trade
helped the expansion of the English language. Approximately half the world's technical
and scientific documents are written in English and there are special versions of English
for sea and air navigation - they have a restricted vocabulary and also include some
foreign words where there is no precise translation in English. If you added all the
technical, scientific and navigation terms to the number of words in the English dictionary
it would practically double the total to make nearly a million.

1)

a) There are fewer than 500,000 speakers of English in the world.
b) More people speak English as a first language than learn it.
c) 470,000,000 people have learnt to speak English, but it’s not their first language.

2)
Not including technical, navigational and scientific words, approximately how
many English words are there?
a) Nearly half a million
b) About half a million
c) 700,000,000

3)
English for sea and air navigation is different because…
a) It has more words than standard English.
b) It doesn’t include any foreign words.
c) It has less words than standard English.

4)
Which of these statements is false according to the text?
a) More than three-quarters of all the information stored on the world’s computers is in
English.
b) The Internet was the reason English first started spreading around the world.
c) International media is one of the reasons why English is becoming even more
popular.
