W： Hi Leo， why do you say English would become the world language？

M： Well。 For one thing， it’s so commonly used， the only language that is used by more people is Chinese。

W： Why is English spoken by so many people？

M： It’s spoken in many countries of the world because of the British empire。 And now of course is the influence of America as well。

W： Many students find English a difficult language to learn。

M： Oh， all languages are difficult to learn。 But English does have two greatest advantages。

W： What are they？

M： Well， first of all， it has a very international vocabulary。 It has many German， Dutch， French， Spanish and Italian words in it。 So speakers of those languages will find many familiar words in English。 In fact， English has words for many other languages as well。

W： Why is that？

M： Well， partly because English speakers have travelled a lot， they bring back words with them。 So English really does have an international vocabulary。

W： And what is the other advantage of English？

M： It that English grammar is really quite easy。 For example， it doesn’t have dozens of different endings for its nouns， adjectives and verbs， not like Latin， Russian and German for example。

W： Why is that？

M： Well， it’s quite interesting actually， it’s because of the French。 When the French ruled England， French was the official language， and only the common people spoke English。 They tried to make their language as simple as possible。 So they made the grammar easier。

听力原文：W: Wake up, Erik, time to rise and shine.

M: Ha, oh, hi, Jane, I must have fallen asleep while I was reading.

W: You and everyone else. It looks more like a campground than a library.

M: Well, the dorm's too noisy to study in, and I guess this place is too quiet.

W: Have you had any luck finding a topic for your paper？

M: No, Prof. Grant told us to write about anything in cultural anthropology. For once I with she had not given us so much of a choice.

W: Well, why not write about the ancient civilizations of Mexico. You seem to be interested in that part of the world.

M: I am, but there is too much material to cover. I'll be writing forever, and Grant only wants five to seven pages.

M: So then limit it to one region of Mexico, say the Uka town. You've been there and you said it's got lots of interesting relics.

M: That's not a bad idea. I brought many books and things back with me last summer, that would be great resource material, now if I can only remember where I put them.

M: You haven't started working on it yet, have you？

W: No, I have so many other things to do. I need to finish summarizing 30 articles for Dr. Thompson. See, I've been working for him as a research assistant. I know what the pressure of a deadline feels like.

M: I have more time than you do. But I can't concentrate unless I know I have plenty of time. I wanted to get my presentation out of the way because I have a big biology test next week.

W: What's your presentation on？

M: Sinclair Lewis.

W: Isn't he a writer？ I thought we were supposed to focus only on poets.

M: No, yon can work on novelists too.

W: Are you positive？ I didn't know that.

W: Are you going to give yours on Wednesday？

M: Yes, I am. You wouldn't mind listening to my talk and giving me some feedback, would you？ Also, I'd appreciate it if you would time my speech.
