Then Britain became very powerful in the world. By 1900, England had colonies in other parts of Asia, Africa and South Pacific. The people in the colonies had to use English. Slowly it became more important than French internationally. After the Second World War, the United States became very powerful, and even more people began to learn English. English is the native or official language on one-fifth of the land area of the world. It is spoken in North America, Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand. In South Africa and India, it is one of the official languages. More people study English than any other languages. In many countries, the textbooks in universities are in English.
