If you like backpacking and you travel around the world, you will communicate in English, even if it is your second language, and not your mother tongue.

There are about one billion students of English in the world! Every year, 700,000 foreign students visit Great Britain to learn English. 4 Will everyone speak English in the future? Experts predict that more people will learn English, but that Spanish will increase in popularity too.

Find words with the same meanings as 15. A Dear Sunshine Holidays 1 I am writing to tell you about our terrible holiday with your company. First, we were very disappointed with the hotel. Our bedroom was tiny. It was a family room, but there wasnt enough space for four beds. There was also a lot of noise from the disco, so we couldnt sleep at night. The food in the hotel restaurant was disgusting too. One day, my husband found an insect in his salad! 2 Second, the beach was filthy. There were crowds of people, and there was litter everywhere. There were also a lot of high-rise hotels opposite the beach. In the photos in your holiday information, there werent any high-rise buildings. There was also a lot of traffic on the road between the hotel and the beach, so it took a long time to cross. It was extremely dangerous, especially for young children. Yours faithfully Janet Moane B Dear Ms Moane 1 Thank you for your letter. We are sorry that you didnt enjoy your holiday. We usually select the best hotels for all our holidays. 2 Were sending you our new brochure. If you choose a different holiday for next summer, we will give you a discount of 50 per cent.
