Do you fancy an ice cream? What s the matter? Mike s an old friend. 6 This is our teacher, Mrs Wester. What a mixture! Are there any English words in your language? How many do you know? The English language is a mixture of several different languages mainly Latin, Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian and French. The word dentist, for example, comes from the Latin dentes, meaning teeth. This explains why there are often two or three words with the same meaning, for example to egin, to start, to commence. It is also the reason why English spelling can e so strange. We write (/rait/) a question and we give the right (/rait/) answer the pronunciation is the same ut the spelling is different. Today, the British use the Roman alphaet (a,, c), Araic numerals (,, ), the names of Viking gods for days of the week, and even old French for example when the Queen writes Le Roi le veult to show her agreement to a new law in parliament. But how did all this happen? The first inhaitants of the British Isles were hunters. Aout five thousand years ago, settlers from Europe started to arrive. Celts, Romans, Angles and Saxons, and then Vikings all invaded at different times. For 00 years, England had Anglo-Saxon kings and Danish kings. In 066, the French ABOUT THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE There are nearly 800,000 words in the English language. But don t worry! You only need aout,000 words if you want to have an everyday conversation in English. Life and culture FRENCH th CENTURY AD arrived on the south coast of England. William, Duke of Normandy, defeated the Saxon King Harold at the Battle of Hastings and ecame the king of England. For the next 00 years, the kings of England spoke French and they ruled a large part of France too. SCANDINAVIAN 8th CENTURY AD ANGLO-SAXON th & 6th CENTURY AD LATIN st CENTURY AD In the fifteenth century, England lost her lands in France, and the French language egan to lose its importance. At the same time, the first English ooks appeared. After that, English finally ecame the official written and spoken language of the country. Task Read the text and these sentences. For each sentence write T (true), F (false) or? (the text doesn t say). Correct the false sentences. English contains words from a lot of different languages. English spelling is very simple. The word Thursday comes from the name of a Viking god. The Queen speaks French when she is at the Houses of Parliament. Write and right have got the same sound. 6 The French won the Battle of Hastings. 7 The king of England sometimes lived in France. 8 English ecame the official language aout five hundred years ago.
