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.
