English is the world's most widely used language.As a native language,English is spoken by more than three hundred million people:in the U.S.,England, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.In some other countries.English is often necessary for business,education, information and other activities.So English is the second language there.

英語(yǔ)是世界上使用最廣泛的英語(yǔ)。在美國(guó)、英國(guó)、澳大利亞和紐西蘭，3億多人把英文作為母語(yǔ)講。在一些其它國(guó)家，英語(yǔ)在商業(yè)、教育、信息和其它活動(dòng)中經(jīng)常都是必須的。所以英語(yǔ)是那里的第二語(yǔ)言。

As a foreign language, no other language is more widely studied or used than English.We use it to listen to radio,to read books or to travel.It is also one of the working languages in the United Nations and is more used than the others.

作為一門外語(yǔ)，沒(méi)有其它語(yǔ)言像英語(yǔ)這樣被廣泛學(xué)習(xí)和使用。我們用它來(lái)聽(tīng)廣播，看書或旅游。它也是聯(lián)合國(guó)的一門工作語(yǔ)言，比其它語(yǔ)言用得更多。
