听一分钟英文：Language-语言

Where would¹ we be without language²? We’d all be in our own³ worlds and we’d never really have a life⁴. Can you imagine⁵ never talking to anyone⁶? Of course⁷ if there was⁸ no language, we wouldn’t be able⁹ to use body language or sign language. The fact¹⁰ that we do have languages¹¹ means¹² we have gone to the moon and built¹³ things like the Internet¹⁴ – which also needs a special computer language to work properly¹⁵. I think language is amazing¹⁶. It means we can tell anyone anything. I often think it’s a shame¹⁷ there are so many languages in the world. If there was only one language, we could¹⁸ all communicate¹⁹ better. Perhaps²⁰ that way, we’d all understand one another better. What would the world language be? At the moment, English.
