Unit1 Anne

’

s Best Friend

Do you want a friend whom you could tell everything to, like your deepest feelings and thoughts?

Or are you afraid that your friend would laugh at you, or would not understand what you are goi

ng through? Anne Frank wanted the first kind, so she made her diary her best friend.

Anne lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands during World War

Ⅱ

. Her family was Jewish so nearl

y twenty-five months before they were discovered. During that time the only true friend was her

diary. She said,

”

I don

’

t want to set down a series of facts in a diary as most people do, but I want this diary itself to be

my friend, and I shall call my friend

Kitty.”

Now read how she felt after being in the hiding place si

nce July 1942.

Thursday 15th June, 1944 Dear Kitty,

I wonder if i

t’s

because I

haven’t

been able to be outdoors for so long that

I’ve

grown so crazy ab

out everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was a time when a deep blue sk

y, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound.

That’s

chan

ged since I was here.

…

For example, one evening when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven

in order to have a good look at the moon by my self. But as the moon gave far too much light, I di

dn’t

dare open a window. Another time five months ago, I happened to be upstairs at dusk when

the window was open. I

didn’t

go downstairs until the window bad to be shut. The dark, rainy eve

ning, the wind, the thundering clouds held me entirely in their power; it was the first time in a ye

ar and a half that

I’d

seen the night face to

face…

…

Sadly

…I

am only able to look at nature through dirty curtains hanging before very dusty windows

.

It’s

no pleasure looking through these any longer because nature is one thing that really must be

experienced.

Yours, Anne

Unit2 the Road to Modern English

At the end of the 16th century, about five to seven million people spoke English. Nearly all of the

m lived in England. Later in the next century, people from England made voyages to conquer othe

r parts of the world, and because of that, English began to be spoken in many other countries. To

day, more people speak English as their first, second or a foreign language than ever before.

Native English speakers can understand each other even if they

don’t

speak the same kind of Eng

lish. Look at this example: British Betty: Would you like to see my flat?

American Amy: Yes.

I’d

like to come up to you apartment.

So why has English changed over time? Actually all languages change and develop when cultures

meet and communicate with each other. At fist the English spoken in England between about AD

450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. It was base more on German tha

n the English we speak at present. Then gradually between about AD 500 and 1150, English beca

me less like German because those who ruled England spoke first Danish and later French. These

new settlers enriched the English language and especially its vocabulary. So by the

1600’s

Shakes

peare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before. In 1620 some British settlers

moved to America. Later in the 18th century some British people were taken to Australia to. Engli

sh began to be spoken in both countries.

Finally by the 19th century the language was settled. At that time two big changes in English spel

ling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The Ame

rican Dictionary of the English language. The latter gave a separate identity to American English s

pelling.

English now is also spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia. For example, India has

a very large number of fluent English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947. Dur

ing that time English became the language for government and education. English is also spoken i

n Singapore and Malaysia and countries in Africa such as South Africa. Today the number of peopl

e learning English in China is increasing rapidly. In fact, China may have the largest number of Eng

lish learners. Will Chinese English develop its own identity? Only time will tell.
