1. The importance of English as a global language is growing all the time. Of course, there more native speakers of Chinese than of English – about a billion compared to about 400 million. But almost one and a quarter billion people across the world use English as a second or a foreign language. And this number is getting bigger every year. English is the international language of politics, science, business, advertising, the media, and computers. In the future students may have to learn global English. Even in countries like Germany, almost 90 percent of research scientists use English as their working language every day.
2. Not all languages are so successful, however.. There are some other languages which are gaining in popularity: the number of people who speak Arabic, Chinese and Portuguese in different countries is increasing too. Even in the USA the fastest growing language is Spanish.
3. Some languages like Urdu or Hindi are growing much faster than English. There are about 6,000 languages in the world but sadly many of them have an uncertain future. In fact, about twenty languages are disappearing every year.
4. Surprisingly, the Internet may offer a solution to this problem. Although it is true that English dominates the Internet, the number of websites in other languages is growing very quickly. With chat sites and messenger programs people can communicate more easily than before and in any language they know. For example, approximately 70 percent of websites are in English.
