Read the text and choose best answer A , B , C , D 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 aroud 1350 , after having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invation 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 spread around the globe as a result of exploration , trade ( including slave trade ) , colnization , and missionary work .

As these communities proliferated , English gradually became the primry 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 mainlanguage of techniology , advertising , mediea , international airports , and air traffic controllers .
