Most young couples have meals regularly in their parents’ home with little or no pay, and give their children to the care of old couples free of charge
Investigations have shown that parents of young couples don’t mind providing meals and caring for their children However, this practice should not become an accepted social custom The old couples’ expense on food has already increased while young couples spend more on clothing and furnishing and less on food If
Trang 10this trend continues, many young couples might take these privileges for granted and become more dependent It it not right for young couples to make use of the old couples’ love, not only because our nation
is well-known for its special respect paid to the elderly, but also because the young must become independent

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 1066 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 speak 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
1 What is the main topic of this passage?
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
