Упражнение 3. Прочитайте текст.
English is spoken in many countries of the world. But in what countries
English is the national language? Great Britain is the homeland of the English
language.
English speaking countries are situated in different parts of the world and
differ in many ways. The weather and climate of these countries, and the way of
people’s life differ. Each country has its own history customs, traditions, and its
own national holidays. But they all have a common English language. English
spread all over the world. Great Britain, the USA, Canada, Australia and New
Zealand are English speaking countries.
Great Britain is not a large country. It is much smaller than France or
Norway and smaller than Finland. It has four parts: England, Wales, Scotland and
Northern Ireland. England is the largest part of the country and it has always been
the strongest. English is the national in all parts of Britain.
In the United States of America the national language is also English. Four
hundred years ago some English people sailed to North America to live there, and
they brought the English language to this new country.
Millions of people driven by poverty immigrated to the United States from
different countries of Europe. They brought their own languages and cultures.
That’s why American English differs from British English. American people say
and write some English words differently from how people do in England. So
America is called a “melting pot” because it has become a complex of many Old-
World cultures and languages.
Canada is to the North of the United States. It is a very large country. In
Canada many people speak English because they also came from England many
years ago. But in some parts of Canada they speak French. The people who live in
these parts came to Canada from France.
If you look at the map of the world you will see that Australia is the fifth
continent. It is the smallest continent and the largest island on the map. Australia is
also an English-speaking country.
New Zealand is not far from Australia but it is very far from Britain. The
national language in New Zealand is also English. Many people from England,
Wales, Scotland and Ireland came to live in Australia and New Zealand many
years ago.
Now it is certain that English is the language of business, diplomacy,
international relations and communication between people from different
countries. Most educated people speak English fluently.
