Everyday, 340 million people speak it. One billion people are learning it and it is said that by 2050, half of the world’s population will be using it. What are we talking about? That global language—English.
The English language started in Britain in the 5th century. It is a mixed language. It was built up when German. Scandinavian and French invaders settled in England and created a common language for communication.
Today it is the official language of the UK, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and Ireland as well as many islands in the Caribbean . Many other countries and regions use it for politics and business, for example, India. Pakistan, Nigeria and the Philippines. English is also one of the official languages of Hong Kong.

English is a messy (杂乱的) language. Every year, dictionaries include new words that talk about popular culture, for example, computer-related words such as \\“hello” ?
Other languages also influence English. Many English words come from French. Words like \other hand, the French language includes English words like \weekend\and \camping\German words are also part of English. Words like \come from the German language.
Recently, British people have become interested in \But the word comes from an ancient Hindu language in India.

In order to know a foreign language thoroughly(完全地),four things are necessary. First, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, with confidence(自信) and without hesitation(犹豫). Thirdly, we must do much reading. Finally, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar.
There are no shortcuts to success in language learning. A good memory is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. It is not much learning by heart long lists(一览表) of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language.
If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. We must “learn through use.” Practice is important. We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever we can.
51. The most important things to learn a foreign language are _____.
A. understanding and speaking B. listening, speaking, reading and writing C. writing and understanding D. memorizing and listening
