French, German, Italian and Arabic.
Borrowed words from French contain words for food and eating such as restaurant, words for jobs such
as dentist and words for relaxation such as ballet. At weddings in the west, they have confetti which people
throw over the newly-weds. This is an Italian word, meaning the small pieces of colored paper. What"s more,
Italy was famous for music and opera in the 18th century, so English borrowed many words for music and
opera from Italian. In the early times, Italians liked to be at war with other countries, words for military jobs,
for example, colonel, also became an English word.
One reason that so many German words in English is that the Germans were very clever at inventing things.
They invented the clock to ensure they were on time. Englishmen also use clock for this purpose in English.
Many of the words for fast food or snacks in English also come from German, including the famous hamburger.
We all know the fact that the Arabs were good traders and they brought in many Arabic words in English,
such as coffee and alcohol. We all use Arabic numbers, and zero is an Arabic English word.

The first thing I needed to do was to find a place to 1 . I decided to telephone the youth hotel. But to use the 2 I needed some coins. I asked a lady for help. To my 3 , she 4 me five coins to use! But all the phones in the 5 needed phone cards. And phone cards could only be 6 at post office during the daytime. I was afraid I wouldn"t be able to call the 7 . An old gentleman helped me. He couldn"t speak English but 8 that I needed to make a phone call. He showed me where the 9 was and inserted (插入) his phone card. I called the youth hotel and found a place to stay that night.

Older Germans couldn"t speak English so well, 15 , they would try to help me whenever they could. One middle-aged man I asked for directions even 16 me to the place I was looking for.
