[01:41.96]Lesson 26
[01:48.90]2.Read  Countries and Languages
[01:54.26] Nobody¹³ knows how many different languages there are in the world.
[01:59.41]It is said¹⁴ there are more than five thousand.
[02:04.13]The most widely used¹⁵ of these languages is English.
[02:09.80]It is used all over the world.
[02:13.64]It is the language⁸ of business¹⁶,the sea and the air.
[02:19.42]It is used by business people,
[02:23.07]by airline¹⁷ pilots¹⁸ and sea captains¹⁹ all over the world.
[02:29.32]It is also the first language of sport and science.
[02:34.46]so it is very important²⁰ to learn English.
[02:39.32]  English is the most widely spoken²¹ language in the world,
[02:44.96]but Chinese has the largest number of speakers²².
[02:49.93]Not only over one billion²³ people living²⁴ inside²⁵ China,
[02:55.80]but also many Chinese outside China speak it.
[03:01.37]You will find large or small groups of Chinese people
[03:07.14]living in almost²⁶ every country in the world.
[03:12.10] For example,in London or New York,
[03:16.47]you will find several²⁷ thousand Chinese people living and working there.
[03:22.63] What are the official²⁸ languages used in the United²⁹ Nations³⁰?
[03:28.09]There are so many different languages in the world
[03:33.05]that people decided³¹ to use only six.
[03:37.91]These languages are:Arabic,Chinese,English,French,Russian and Spanish³².
[03:47.34]Everything spoken or written in one language is translated³³ into the other five,
[03:55.21]so that everyone can understand.
[03:59.33]  It is very important to learn English.
[04:03.49]But there are other important languages in the world,too.
[04:08.53]Chinese is of course³⁴ very important,especially in Asia³⁵.
[04:14.69]Arabic is widely spoken in many parts³⁶ of Asia and africa,for example,in Egypt³⁷.
[04:22.74]Russian is spoken in both Europe and Asia.
[04:27.70]French is widely understood,not only in Europe,
[04:32.77]but also in parts of Canada,Africa and Asia.
[04:38.23]Spanish has a growing number of speakers all over the world,
[04:43.79]especially in Central³⁸ and South America.
[04:52.34]Lesson 28  3.Read and act³⁹
[04:59.42]Kevin,how many languages do you know?
[05:03.96]The only language I know well is English.
[05:08.61]I also speak a little French,and I'm trying to learn Chinese.
[05:14.38]Really? Do you find it difficult?
[05:18.64]Well,speaking Chinese isn't too difficult,but writing⁴⁰ it is very hard.
[05:26.09]What about you? How many languages do you know?
[05:31.15]Oh,only Chinese,I'm afraid.I'm learning English.
[05:37.08]I like reading,but it's not easy to speak English well.
[05:42.83]You speak it very well! Thanks.I'm trying.
[05:48.19]4. Read and discuss⁴¹
[05:52.34] Read the following⁴² passage⁴³ about british⁴⁴ English and American English
[05:58.90]and discuss with your partner⁴⁵ about the differences⁴⁶ between them.
[06:04.75]  We often hear people say "this is American English.That is British English."
[06:12.11]Is American English very different from British English?
[06:17.57]The answer is "no".
[06:21.02]The differences between American English and British English are not very great.
[06:28.78]  Written English is about the same in both the UK and the US,

[06:35.15]but there are some spelling differences.
[06:39.91]For example,centre,colour and travelled⁴⁷ is spelt center⁴⁸,
[06:48.87]color and traveled⁴⁹ in American Englsih.
[06:54.33]there are only a very small number of differences in grammar⁵⁰
[06:59.66]between American English and British English.
[07:04.99]The most important differences are in spoken English.
[07:10.45]For example,most Americans pronounce⁵¹ tomato as¹,new as,address as .
[07:20.29]Kilometre is not only pronounced⁵² differently but spelled differently kilometer⁵³.
[07:28.05]  You may wonder⁵⁴ which is correct⁵⁵.
[07:31.71]The answer is that is does not matter.
[07:36.15]But you should speak either⁵⁶ American English or British English.
[07:42.03]Do not try to speak both at the same time
