Have you ever heard of the language Esperanto(世界语)? This is a man-made language for the world use. But it hasn’t been known by most of the people around the world, let alone(更不用说) worldwide use. There are more than 3000 languages in the world today, but only about ten are major(主要的) languages. Among them English is the most popular one in the world.
More than 350 million people speak English as their first language. Major English-speaking countries are Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA. Another 400 million speak it as a second language. No one knows how many people speak English as a foreign language. They usually learn English as a school subject instead of learning it from their parents. Chinese is the only language with more speakers than English. This is because of large population(人口) of China.
English is the language for a better understanding between people of the world. It is also the language for business and science. Nearly half of all the business deals (交易) in Europe are done in English and more than half of the science magazines are written in English. English is widely used in the world’s computer network. And children should begin with English when they learn how to use computers and learn online. Through the English language people of different countries are able to work together and make things even better.

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (消除代沟).
Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
