1English in the WorldSome people say that the English language no longer belongs to the English, and it belongs to the world. It is estimated that the number of people who use English exceeds 750 million. Among these, about 350 million are native speakers, while the rest use it as an official language. If we add to this number the people who have acquired the language to some extent, the total is close to one billion. English plays an increasingly important role in the world as a medium for conducting international business and diplomacy, as well as in science and medicine, the Internet, air and sea communications, international sports events, radio and TV programs, pop songs and movies.世界上的英语有人说英语已不再属于英国人了，它属于全世界。

I am going to finish my studies in England soon, and will leave for China next month.At first it was very difficult for me to communicate with other people in English. Now I can speak English much better, and even understand English television, because I have studied hard and my teachers and classmates have helped me a lot.I have lots of English friends now. Some of them have even invited me for dinner at their houses. They are interested to learn about China and Chinese people.

现在我在英国已经待了十一个月了。

我将很快结束在英国的学习，下个月我就将回中国了。

一开始，我觉得很难用英语和别人交流。

现在我英语说得好多了，甚至可以看懂英语电视，这是因为我学习很努力，老师和同学对我的帮助也很大。

现在我有许多英国朋友。

一些朋友甚至邀请我去他们家吃饭。

他们对中国和中国人很感兴趣。

每当他们问我许多问题时，我才意识到自己对祖国的了解是如此之少。

But there is another kind of language you need to know — the language of the body.All over the world, people "talk?with their hands, with their heads, and with their eyes. When Japanese people meet, they bow. When Indians meet, they put their hands together.When British and American people meet someone for the first time, they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends, and men kiss women friends (on the cheek only). When a man meets a man friend, he just smiles, and says "Hello? Men do not kiss each other, or hold hands. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.身体语言即使你会说英语，你知道很多英文单词，你会读，会说，能听懂，但还有另外一种语言你需要了解——那就是身体语言。

5HobbiesMy hobby is collecting stamps. When I began, I tried to collect the stamps of all the countries, but now I collect only Greek and Indian ones because I have friends in Greece and I live in India. Some of my stamps are very pretty, and they are all interesting. When you look at stamps carefully, they teach you a lot about the history of other countries.My brother's hobby is watching trains. He goes to our station and watches them there. When an engine goes through the station he writes down its name and number. He likes train watching very much, but I don't. I went to the station with him one day, but it wasn't interesting.My sister's hobby is sewing. She hasn't got a sewing machine, but she sews with our mother's. Sometimes she sews by hand too. She makes most of her clothes, and when I tear my shirt or my trousers, I take them to her and she mends them.业余爱好我的爱好是集邮。
