VII. Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each question.

the dominant language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged
around 1350, after having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following
the Norman invasion of 1066. Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in
England and had not extended even as far as Wales, Scotland, or Ireland. However, during the
course of the next two centuries, English began to spread around the globe as a result of
exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonisation, and missionary work. Thus, small
enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world. As
these communities proliferated. English gradually became the primary language of
international business, banking and diplomacy.
Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is
English. Two-thirds of the world's science writing is in English, and English is the main
language of technology, advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers.
Today there are more than 700 million English users in the world, and over half of these are
normative speakers, constituting the largest number of normative users than any other
language in the world.

the information I find on the Internet is often in English. Secondly, it is about recreation. I enjoy
reading books and comics in English, listening to English songs and watching English movies

The Importance of English in Today's World

English was originally the language of England, and soon it has become the primary or
secondary language of many former British colonies such as the United States, Canada,
Australia, and India. Nowadays, it is the most international language in the world. There are
several factors that make the English language essential to communication in our current time.
First of all, it is the most common foreign language. This means that two people who
come from different countries (for example, a Mexican and a Swede) usually use English as a
common language to communicate. English is also essential to the field of education. In many
countries, children are taught and encouraged to learn English as a second language. At the
university level, students in many countries study almost all their subjects in English in order to
make the material more accessible to international students. On the Internet, the majority of
websites are written and created in English. Even sites in other languages often give you the
option to translate the site. It is the primary language of the press: more newspapers and books
are written in English than in any other language, and no matter where in the world you are, you
will find some of these books and newspapers available.
Although many people think that it is very difficult and confusing, English is actually the
easiest language of the world to learn because there are so many resources available. As soon as
you decide you want to learn, there are thousands of resources on the Internet and in bookstores.
With good understanding and communication in English, you can travel around the globe.
Because it is the international language for foreigners, it is easy to get assistance and help in
every part of the world. You can test it by online travel. Any travel booking site you can find
will have English as a booking option.
36. When two people having different mother tongues meet each other, they will use
A. their own mother tongues to communicate
B. English as a means of communication
C. the third language to communicate
D. a second language as a means of communication
37. The study material at universities is often written in English so that
A. all international students can follow it
B. scientists can understand it easily
C. it is the dominant language in England
D. all children from many countries understand English
38. All of the following about the role of English on the Internet are true EXCEPT that
A. most websites are written in English
B. most programmers created websites in English
C. websites offer you the option in other languages
D. most websites have English version
39. English is believed by many to be the easiest language of the world to learn because
A. you can decide you want to learn English
B. there are thousands of bookstores available
C. it is not very difficult and confusing
D. it is easy to find resources to learn English
40. We can infer from the passage that .
A. English makes you travel around the globe
B. you can use English to travel online
C. international tourists must know English
D. it is easy to get help to learn English all over the world.

responses (A-G) given. There are two extra ones.
A. It's much useful to learn new words in this way.
 B. First, you should slow down your speaking speed.
C. Writing is one way of producing language.
D. You should practise speaking English whenever you can.
E. You can make others understand you well.
F. We also need to keep in mind the fact that communication is a two-way process.
G. In fact, it's a good way to limit our mistakes.

Nick: Phong, congratulations! You got good marks for the grammar test.
Phong: Thank vou. I can understand the grammar and read well, but speaking is rather
difficult.
Nick:
(41)
Phong: Why should I do so?
Nick: Because you can speak more slowly and clearly. (42)

Phong: And we can give ourselves time to think.

TV/cA:
(43)
When you learn a new word, try to memorize a couple of sentences thai contain it.
Phong: We should use new words in sentences?
Nick:
(44)
Then don't forget to listen to what others are saying. When speaking in a foreign
language, you might be so focused on what you are saying and whether it's correct or not, that
you forget to listen to what others are saying.
Phong: Anything else, Nick?
Nick: The most important thing is to keep active all the time. (45)

Phong: I think I try to make my passive knowledge become active. Thanks a lot, Nick.
