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 two centuries; English began to spread 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 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 nonnative speakers, constituting the largest number of nonnative users than any other language in the world

Greenwich Mean Time
How did the name of a pleasant part of London situated by the River Thames become synonymous with international time keeping? The reasons go (61) into history Thousands of years ago, people had no reason to (62) their lives into hours and minutes Their time was the movement of the sun
(63) created day and night, and the rhythm of the seasons Gradually, a 24-hour cycle was introduced and based (64) the point when the sun was in the middle of the sky which became midday But, because the earth rotates, midday in one town might be twenty minutes after midday in (65) town a hundred mile (66) So each area of the world kept its own time The obvious solution – a national standard time – was found (67) that every town could set their watches and clocks by it The electric telegraph was the key (68) success, for a simultaneous signal could be sent along it to any part of the country So, in 1852, the first signal went out from the astronomers of Britain’s Royal Observatory which was then situated at
Greenwich From then (69) , Britain followed Greenwich Mean Time.
The “Mean” refers (70) something which is in the middle – an average When the noonday sun (71) its highest point was directly over a particular place (The Meridian Line in Greenwich), the
astronomers defined this (72) noon, Greenwich Time This Greenwich Time was used for the
(73) country, so it became the “Mean” by which time was calculated in Britain.
Britain managed quite well with Greenwich Mean Time, but the development of many different national times around the world meant that a country could still be out of step with (74) neighbors So in
1912 (75) international conference decided that Greenwich Mean Time would be used throughout the world.
