Part 2 长对话
Conversion 1
W: Hi Leo, why do you say English would become the world language
M: Well. For one thing, it's so commonly used, the only language that is used by more people
is Chinese.
W: Why is English spoken by so many people
M: It's spoken in many countries of the world because of the British empire. And now of course
is the influence of America as well.
W: Many students find English a difficult language to learn.
M: Oh, all languages are difficult to learn. But English does have two greatest advantages.
W: What are they
M: Well, first of all, it has a very international vocabulary. It has many German, Dutch,
French, Spanish and Italian words in it. So speakers of those languages will find many familiar
words in English. In fact, English has words for many other languages as well.
W: Why is that
M: Well, partly because English speakers have travelled a lot, they bring back words with
them. So English really does have an international vocabulary.
W: And what is the other advantage of English
M: It that English grammar is really quite easy. For example, it doesn't have dozens of
different endings for its nouns, adjectives and verbs, not like Latin, Russian and German for
example.
W: Why is that
M: Well, it's quite interesting actually, it's because of the French. When the French ruled
England, French was the official language, and only the common people spoke English. They tried
to make their language as simple as possible. So they made the grammar easier.

there are to send out, you know.
