Существует мнение, что в Китае больше говорящих по-английски людей, чем в Соединенных Штатах. Вполне возможно - в общей сложности английским языком как родным или иностранным сегодня пользуются 1,8 миллиарда человек. Это позволяет признать его языком межэтнического общения - lingua franca.
Причины того, почему английский язык стал глобальным, всесторонне описаны таким признанным ученым-лингвистом как Дэвид Кристал (D.Crystal, English as a Global Language). Исторические, социальные и экономические факторы, в сочетании с характеристиками самого языка, привели к тому, что английский стал языком торговли, дипломатии и, наконец, Интернета.
Несмотря на то, что считается, что в английском языке больше всего слов (около 800 000) и наиболее богатые синонимические ряды, существуют и такие его искусственно созданные вариации как Basic English и Special English. В них используется ограниченное количество слов и конструкций для облегчения изучения, понимания и, в конечном итоге, использования языка.
Как справедливо отмечает Д. Кристал, никогда ранее люди не путешествовали так много и так часто, и никогда ранее не было такого количества деловых и культурных контактов между разными народами. Именно поэтому глобальный язык необходим, изучение английского языка как иностранного становится все более популярным, а переводческие ресурсы все более востребованы.

There is an opinion that in China more than speaking English people, than in the United States. Quite probably - in total English as native or foreign 1,8 billion people today use. It allows to recognize it as language of interethnic communication - lingua franca.
The reasons of why English became global, are comprehensively described by such recognized scientist-linguist as David Cristal (D.Crystal, English as a Global Language). Historical, social and economic factors, in a combination to characteristics of the language, led to that English became language of trade, diplomacy and, at last, the Internet.
In spite of the fact that it is considered that in English most of all words (about 800 000) and the richest synonymic ranks, exist also its such artificially created variations as Basic English and Special English. In them the limited quantity of words and designs for simplification of studying, understanding and, finally, language use is used.
As fairly marks out D. Cristal, never earlier people traveled very much and so often, and never earlier was such number of business and cultural contacts between the different people. For this reason global language is necessary, English studying as foreign becomes more and more popular, and translational resources are more and more demanded.
Here are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Every season is beautiful in its own way.
When spring comes nature awakens from its long winter sleep. The days become longer and the nights become shorter. The ground is covered with emeraldgreen grass and spring flowers. The air is fresh, the sky is blue and cloudless, and the sun shines brightly. The trees are in full blossom. The nightingale begins to sing its lovely songs, and sweet melodies may be heard from every wood and park. The days are warm and everything is full of life and joy.
Spring is followed by summer. The weather is usually fine in summer, but it can be very hot, especially in July. Sometimes there are storms with thunder and lightning. In summer people try to get away from the city noise and spend more time in the open air. They pick mushrooms and berries in the forest, swim in the rivers and lakes, go fishing and boating. Most people prefer to have their holidays in summer.
Autumn begins in September. The days become shorter and the nights become longer. The leaves turn yellow, red and brown and fall to the ground. Most birds fly away to warm countries. There's a short spell of dry sunny weather in September which is called Indian Summer. It's a beautiful time when the sky is cloudless, the trees around are golden, the air is transparent and it's still warm. But gradually it gets colder and colder. It often rains in October and November which makes autumn an unpleasant season.
In winter the sun sets early and rises late. The rivers and lakes are frozen over. Everything is covered with snow. Sometimes it's very cold, about 25-30 degrees below zero. Going out in such weather isn't very pleasant. Winter is a good time for sports. People go in for skating and skiing. Tobogganing is also popular, not as a kind of sports, but rather as fun.
As for me, I like all seasons, but I think there's nothing like late spring.
