In countries like the United Kingdom, the USA and Australia, people speak English as a first language. But they don't speak exactly the English. English sounds different in these countries because people use different (pronounce) and there are different words for some things. For example, (America) don't say "football", they say "soccer", and they say "movie" rather than "film". In some countries, there are a lot of different languages, so people use English the official language.
In countries where English isn't a first language, English (speak) as a foreign language. People want to study English because it's a(n) (nation) language; it's in films, magazines and pop songs. A lot of people, especially scientists and business people, use English when (work).
About 80% of the information on the Internet (be) in English. A lot of people communicate on the Internet in English, too. Some people write different kind of English when they communicate in (chat) rooms. They use words like "ruok" "thnx" and "cul8r". These words are faster to write than "Are you OK?", "Thanks" and "See you later"!
