Doris was a secretary to a member of parliament. Guy was home on leave. They were staying at the same hotel, and he quickly told her all about himself. He was born in Sembulu1 where his father had served for thirty years, and on leaving school he had entered the same service. He was devoted to Malaysia.“After all, England’s a foreign land to me, ” he told her. “My home’s Sembulu.”And now it was her home too. He asked her to marry him at the end of the month’s holiday. She had known he was going to, and had decided to refuse him. She was her widowed mother’s only child and she could not go so far away from her, but when the moment came she did not quite know what happened to her, she was carried off her feet by an unexpected emotion, and she accepted him. They had been settled now for four months in the little outstation of which he was in charge. She was very happy.She told him once that she had quite made up her mind to refuse him.“Are you sorry you didn’t?” he asked, with a merry smile in his twinkling blue eyes.“I should have been a perfect fool if I had. What a bit of luck that fate or chance or whatever it was stepped in and took the matter entirely out of my hands!”Now she heard Guy going down the steps to the bathroom. He was a noisy fellow. But he uttered an exclamation. He said two or three words in the local dialect and she could not understand. Then she heard someone speaking to him, not aloud, but in a whisper. Really it was too bad of people to talk to him when he was goin·g to have his bath. Now she heard another voice: it was a woman’s. And she heard him say: get out.That at all events she understood, and then she heard him bolt the door.
Learning foreign languages is important nowadays. I think that any educated person must learn foreign languages. But I prefer English to other foreign languages. Why? English is becoming a global language. A half of billion people in the world use English at home or work. English is the language which is known for the most part of our fine, magnificent and surprising world. English is so widespread that it has become the standard language for all kinds of international communication.
A lot of problems of the 21st century, such as the problems of war and peace, ecology, can not be solved without speaking the same language.
The English language is now the first language of about 350 million people, the native language of 12 nations and the official language of more than 33 nations. It means that one of seven people in the world speaks English.
English is also the international language of businesspeople, pilots and air traffic controllers, sportsmen, scientists and students. If you want to be a stewardess, a pilot or an air control officer you have to learn English, the language of international communication. Every year thousands of people from Russia go to different countries as tourists or to work. They can’t go without knowing the language of the country they are going to. A modern engineer or even a worker cannot work with an imported instrument or a machine if he is not able to read the instruction how to do that.
Some people learn English because they need it in their work; others to travel aboard and for lots of people learning English is just a hobby.
I have been learning English since the age of 11. I like learning English very much. But I like and know well my native language, Russian. The great German poet Goethe once said: “He, who knows no foreign language, does not know his own one.” I agree with him. The knowledge of English helps me to learn Russian.
The knowledge of English is a great power. I need to know English. I must appreciate and embrace this knowledge as the key to achievement of my dream. I hope my progress in English will be very good.
Перевод:
Изучение иностранных языков важно в наши дни. Я думаю, что культурный и современный человек должен изучать иностранные языки. Но я предпочитаю английский язык. Почему? Английский становится глобальным языком. Половина миллиарда человек в мире используют английский дома или на работе. Английский – это язык, который известен всему нашему прекрасному, величественному и удивительному миру. Английский настолько распространен, что он стал стандартным языком всех видов международных общений.
Проблемы 21-го века, такие, как проблемы войны и мира, экологии, не могут быть решены, если не говорить на одном языке.
На английском языке говорят более 350 миллионов человек, он является родным языком 12 наций и официальным языком более чем 33 национальностей. Это означает, что каждый седьмой человек в мире говорит на английском языке.
Английский является также международным языком бизнесменов, пилотов и диспетчеров воздушного движения, спортсменов, ученых и студентов. Если ты хочешь стать стюардессой, летчиком или диспетчером авиалиний, ты должен выучить английский язык, язык международного общения. Каждый год тысячи людей из России идут в различные страны как туристы или работать. Они не могут идти, не зная языка страны, которую они собираются. Современный инженер или даже рабочий не может работать с импортированным инструментом или машиной, если он не в состоянии прочитать инструкцию, как это сделать.
Некоторые люди изучают английский язык, потому что они нужны им в работе, другие много путешествуют за границу,а для многих изучение английского языка любимое занятие.
Я начала изучать язык с 11 лет. Мне он очень нравится. Но я также люблю свой родной русский язык. Великий немецкий поэт Гёте однажды сказал: «Тот, кто не знает иностранного языка, не знает и своего собственного». Я согласна с ним, все познается в сравнении. Знание английского языка мне познавать русский язык.
Знание английского языка – это великая сила. Мне нужно знать английский язык. Я должна оценить и принять это знание, как ключ к достижению своей мечты. Я надеюсь, что мои успехи в английском будут хорошие.
