Text B. English

English is a wide-spread language. It is the mother tongue of hundreds of millions of people. English is spoken throughout the continent of North America (the USA and Canada), in the British Isles, South Africa, Australia and New Zeland. For a long time English had been the language of colonization in Africa, Asia, Australia and Oceania where it was introduced as the only means of communication. For many centuries the colonies had been under British rule. At present many countries declared themselves republics, some of them became independent and encourage the use of local languages.

Though some efforts are made to gradually substitute English for the native tongues, English is still widely used as the official language and the international language of commerce.

English is one of the five working languages used in the United Nations Organization.
