These days, it is easier for us to travel to other countries than ever before. However, there is a big difficulty that most of us 21 when we meet people in other countries – we cannot communicate with them. There are 22 where English is still not spoken, though it is the most widely know language. So, wouldn‘t it be 23 if there was one language that could be understood by anyone anywhere in the world?
Esperanto that was created in 1887 may be the world‘s 24 truly international language. In fact, although 25 artificial (人造的) languages have been already created, only Esperanto has had much success. Its learners say that it is about four times 26 to learn than other languages. Spelling and pronunciation are both easy, too. For example, it does not have silent 27 like the ―h‖ in ―honest‖. If you 28 a word, you can spell it without any difficulty. The grammar is also as simple as possible: only sixteen basic 29 , no irregular verbs (不规则动词), only six verb endings.
In short, Esperanto should be attractive (有吸引力的) as a language to learn, 30 there is a problem: how many people have met anyone who can really speak it? Anyway, we hope that some day one language can be mastered easily by anyone.
