Learning a language is, in some ways, like learning how to fly or play the piano. There some differences, but there is a very important similarity. It is this: learning how to do such things needs lots of practice. It is never enough simply to “know” something. You must be able to “do” things with what to know. For example, it is not enough simply to read a book on how to fly an aeroplane. A book can give you lots of information about how to fly, but if you only read a book and then try to fly without a great deal of practice first, you will crash and kill yourself. The same is true of learning the piano or learning a foreign language. Can you speak English well without having lots of practice? “Practice makes perfect” is what every learner of a foreign language should know.

Texting is a new way of exchanging information, and it is becoming more and more popular among the young. In fact, texting is clearly affecting language. There are no rules for it. We are creating a new aspect of vocabulary and opening up a new kind of playful and direct communication. Naturally, texting is fun and that’s fine, but some people are wo
ied about the effects it might have on a child’s ability to read and write. But not everyone is so wo
ied. An expert says, “Every time a new medium comes along it has an effect on language … But this doesn’t destroy the existing language, it adds to it.” In text messages, many words come from shorthand created in email, such as CUS (See you soon) and so on. Someone says, “Mostly they are original, but sometimes you get a clash of meanings. For example, LOL can mean both Laugh Out Loud and Lots of Love. That could lead to some misunderstandings.”

Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the dominant language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged around 1350, after having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion of 1030. Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and had not extended even as far as Wales, Scotland, or Ireland. However, during the course of the next two centuries, English began to spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work. Thus, small enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world. As these communities proliferated, English gradually became the primary language of international business, banking, and diplomacy.
Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is in English. Two-thirds of the world's science writing is in English, and English is the main language of technology, advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers. Today there are more than 700 million English users in the world, and over half of these are non-native speakers, constituting the largest number of non-native users than any other language in the world.

A. The number of non-native users of English
B. The French influence on the English language
C. The expansion of English as an international language
D. The use of English for science and technology
2. Approximately when did English begin to be used beyond England? A. In 1066
B. Around 1350

Các nhà khoa học từ lâu đã phải vật lộn với cách đo lường tác động của biến đổi khí hậu đối với động vật hoang dã. Điều này đặc biệt đúng đối với các loài chim bay vào và ra khỏi các khu vực ven biển giáp với Bắc Băng Dương. Trong quá khứ, các nhà nghiên cứu phụ thuộc chủ yếu vào thông tin thu thập bởi vệ tinh để theo dõi sự di chuyển của chim và động vật. Nhưng phương pháp này có thể tốn kém và dẫn đến lượng thông tin khổng lồ, có thể khó xử lý. Bây giờ các nhà khoa học đang chuyển sang một loại công nghệ khác để giúp họ theo dõi chim và động vật hoang dã khác. Songbirds đặc biệt khó học trong tự nhiên. Họ có thể bay qua hàng ngàn cây số và cơ thể của họ quá nhỏ cho các thiết bị theo dõi điện tử. Một báo cáo mới cho biết về một dự án trong đó các nhà nghiên cứu ghi nhận loài chim biết hót và sau đó đưa âm thanh vào một chương trình máy tính để nghiên cứu. Các nhà nghiên cứu đã tạo ra các thuật toán học máy với khả năng tập trung vào các cuộc gọi chim trong khi bỏ qua các tiếng ồn khác. Thuật toán giúp cải thiện khả năng dự đoán kết quả chính xác. Các phương pháp học máy tương tự đã được sử dụng để nhận ra lời nói của con người.

Mình cho bạn cả bài nhé chứ như thế này rối lắm:
Have you ever followed instructions for knitting something or have you read a piece of music? If you have, you have behaved in a similar way to a computer. A computer obeys a program to carry out a particular task. Just as a knitting pattern is expressed in numbers and piece of music in lines and dots, so a computer program is expressed in the form of programming language. Like the English language (or any other language), there are rules of grammar, and a program must be correct in every way.
There are hundreds of programming language, but only a few are well-known and widely used. The most popular language which is used in offices is called Cobol. This language is used for printing payrolls and keeping records of goods. Engineers and scientists use Fortran in order to carry out calculations. However neither of these two programs is very popular with people working on home computers. Basis is the most popular language for home computers, chiefly because it is easy to learn and use.
Although these languages are useful for many purposes, it is time that a new simple program was devised. Such a program ought to be not only easy to use but also completely reliable.
