II Read the passage and anwer the questions
All languages have rules for forming words and for ordering those words in meaningful sentences In written languages, meaning is expressed through a system of characters and rules for combining those characters In spoken languages, meaning is expressed through a system of sounds and rules for combining them Word order is more
important in English than it is in some languages, such as Russian.
Like other languages, English is always changing, but it changes very slowly People invent new words, borrow words from other languages, and change the meaning, of words as
needed For example, the English word byte was invented by computer specialists in 1959 The word tomato was borrowed from Nahuatl, an American Indian language spoken in Mexico The word meat once referred to food in general People learn English as well as
other languages by listening, copying what they hear, and using the language Most schoolchildren learn their first language easily - and sometimes other languages as well
