About 100 years ago, many educated(受過(guò)教育的)people spoke French when they met people from other countries. 1      English has become the new international language. There are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak English as a first language.

There are many reasons why English has become so popular. 2      Another important reason is that popular American culture, like movies，music，and McDonald's has quickly spread throughout the world. It has brought its language with it.

Is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly? I don't know.

3      Our world has become global (全球化的)and we need to communicate with one another. On the other hand，English is a rather hard language to learn and it brings its culture with it. Do we really need that?

Scientists have already tried to make an artificial(人造的)language that isn't too  difficult and isn't from any group's culture. It's called Esperanto(世界語(yǔ)).4      Maybe the popularity of English won't last that long， either. Who knows? There are more people in the world who speak Chinese than those who speak any other language. Maybe some day Chinese will be the new international language.
