Thats because people from England started moving from the 16th century. English is changing because of the place and the time. When cultures communicate with one another, all languages change. From 1765 to 1947, Britain ruled India, so English became the language for government and education. English has been used in HK since 1842. Today more and more Chinese learn English.Discussion1. Do you think it matters what kind of English you learn ? Why?(Possible answer: I dont think so. Here are some reasons: Native speakers from different parts of the world have no difficulty in understanding each other despite the fact that they speak a bit differently; It is necessary for us to learn the narrow difference between different kinds of English if we hope to communicate fluently with native speakers of English from all over the world; Different kinds of English have the same language core. If you have got a good command of one kind, you will almost have no difficulty understanding another kind of English.) 2. Do you think Chinese will become one of the word languages in the future?
