The modern world is becoming smaller all the time. Every day distances between different
countries seem less. For this reason it's becoming more and more important to know different
languages, especially English. One billion people speak English today. That's about 20% of the
world's population. 400 million people speak English as their first language. For the other 600
million people it's either a second language or a foreign language.
English is the first language in the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Australia and
New Zealand. It is one of the official languages in Canada, the Irish Republic and the Republic
of South Africa .As a second language English is spoken in more than 60 countries.

I like to learn, and my favorite school subject is History. I believe it is the most interesting subject.
At our lessons we learn about people’s life in the past. Now we are studying Ancient History. Almost every lesson is like a journey through time. We learn how the human society was formed, how the first civilizations appeared. We are told about the culture of ancient countries, about historical monuments that have survived to this day.
Our teacher often shows us reproductions of paintings and scenes from films so that we can better imagine a certain period. She also tells us what fiction books we can read to learn more about that time. Sometimes we answer quiz questions.
Most of all I like to prepare history projects. I enjoy looking for additional material, choosing interesting facts and pictures. All this helps to understand and memorize important information. I think I may become a historian or an archaeologist when I grow up.
