Part VI. Read the following passage, and answer the questions. Write your answers in the
spaces below.(1m)
All languages have rules for forming words and for ordering those words in meaningful
sentences. In written languages, meaning is expressed through a system of characters and rules
for combining those characters. In spoken languages, meaning is expressed through a system of
sounds and rules for combining those sounds. Word order is more important in English than it
is in some languages, such as Russian.
Like other languages English is always changing, but it changes very slowly. People invent
new words, borrow words from other languages, and change the meaning of the words as

needed. For example, the English word byte was invented by computer specialists in 1959.
The word tomato was borrowed from Nahuatl, an American Indian language spoken in
Mexico. The word meat once referred to food in general. People learn English as well as
languages by listening, copying what they hear, and using the language. Most schoolchildren
learn their first language easily – and sometimes other languages as well.
