TEXT

“ENGLISH-SPEAKING
COUNTRIES”

English
is spoken in many countries of the world. Do you know in what
countries English is the national language?

First
of all you will remember Great Britain, the homeland of the English
language.

Great
Britain is not a large country. It is much smaller than France or
Norway and smaller than Finland. It has four parts: England, Wales,
Scotland and Northern Ireland. England is the largest part of the
country and it has always been the strongest.

English
is the national in all parts of Britain.

In
the United States of America the national language is also English.
Four hundred years ago some English people sailed to North America to
live there, and they brought the English language to this new
country.

Millions
of people driven by poverty immigrated to the United States from
different countries of Europe. They brought their own languages and
cultures. That’s why American English differs from British English.
American people say and write some English words differently from how
people do in England. So America is called a “melting pot”
because it has become a complex of many Old-World cultures and
languages.

Canada
is to the North of the United States. It is a very large country. In
Canada many people speak English because they also came from England
many years ago. But in some parts of Canada they speak French. The
people who live in these parts came to Canada from France.

If
you look at the map of the world you will see that Australia is the
fifth continent. It is the smallest continent and the largest island
on the map.

Australia
is also an English-speaking country.

New
Zealand is not far from Australia but it is very far from Britain.
The national language in New Zealand is also English. Many people
from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland came to live in Australia
and New Zealand many years ago.
