C. Read the passage, choose the best answer and write it in the box below. (1,0 mark)
Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the
dominant language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged
around 1350, after having incorporated many elements of French that was introduced following
the Norman invasion of 1066. Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in
England and had not extended even as far as Wales, Scotland or Ireland. However, during the
course of the next two centuries, English began to spread around the globe as a result of
exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work. Thus, small
enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world. As these
communities proliferated, English gradually became the primary language of international
business, banking and diplomacy.
Currently, about 80% of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is in English.
Two – thirds of the world’s science writing is in English, and English is the main language of
technology, advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers. Today there are
more than 700 million English users in the world, and over half of these are non-native speakers,
constituting the largest number of non-native users than any language in the world.
