difficulty that most of us _1_ when we meet people in other countries--we cannot communicate with
them. There are _2_ where English is still not spoken, though it is the most widely known language. So,
wouldn"t it be _3_ if there was one language that could be understood by anyone anywhere in the world?
Esperanto that was created in 1887 may be the world"s _4_ truly international language. In fact,
although _5_ artificial (人造的) languages have been already created, only Esperanto has had much
success. Its learner say that it is about four times _6_ to learn than other languages. Spelling and
pronunciation are both easy, too. For example, it does not have silent _7_ like the "h" in "hour". If you
_8_ a word, you can spell it without any difficulty.
The grammar is also as simple as possible: only sixteen basic _9_, no irregular verbs (不规则动词),
only six verb endings. In short, Esperanto should be attractive as a language to learn, _10_ there is a
problem: how many people have met anyone who can really speak it? Anyway, we hope that some day
one language can be mastered easily by anyone.

The English language we know today is about six hundred years old. For half that time, English was just language of the people living in England. The modem English language grew from about the year 1400. Now English is the most widely spoken language in the world. It is one of the working languages at International meetings, business, science and in other fields. The differences between American English and British English are not very great. Written English is more or less the same in both Britain and America, though there are some spelling differences. For example, centre, licence, colour and travelled are spelt center, license, color and traveled in American English. In America, "cock, rubber, ill, holiday, lorry and post" are called "rooster, eraser, sick, vacation, truck, mail". But people from the two countries can still understand each other easily. There are only a very small number of differences in grammar between American English and British English. Some words may have two kinds of pronunciation. You may wonder "Which is correct?" The answer is that it doesn"t matter. But you should speak either American English or British English. Don"t try to speak both at the same time! | |||

This week we asked students at New Star High School about the best ways to learn more English. Many said they learnt by using English. Some students had more specific suggestions. Lilian Li, for example, said the best way to learn new words was by reading English magazines. She said that memorizing the words of pop songs also helped a little. When we asked about studying grammar, she said, "I never study grammar. It"s too boring. " Wei Ming feels differently. He"s been learning English for six years and really loves it. He thinks studying grammar is a great way to learn a language. He also thinks that watching English movies isn"t a bad way because he can watch the actors say the words. Sometimes, however, he finds watching movies frustrating because the people speak tooquickly. Liu Chang said that joining the English club at school was the best way to improve her English. Students get lots of practice and they also have fun. Sh e added that having conversations with friends was not helpful at all. "We get excited about something and then end up speaking in Chinese, " she said. | |||
