UNIT 1
INTRODUCTION

English, an international language


Why learn English?
Because English is the most important international language in the
world. Some facts prove that: English is the international language of air and
sea travels, of computing, of pop music, of politics, of science and medicine,
sports, TV and films.
The World today is a very small place. Communication and travel are
very extremely quick: think of jets planes, satellite TV, telephones, telex and fax,
for example.
Because of this, we need a common language, and this language is
English. English s the first language in: Australia; Bahamas; Canada; Ireland;
Guyana; New Zealand; United States; United Kingdom.
And it is the official second in many other countries like: India, Nigeria,
South Africa, Israel.
English is slowly becoming more than one language, because in every
country it is spoken there are differences in some vocabulary words.

SPEAKING
Now Interview two friends:
Friend 1:__________________________
