The countries of the world where the English language is spoken. 2. Approximate number of mother tongue speakers of English approximately 350-400 million native speakers. Which place does English occupy in the world by its number of speakers?After which language? English occupies second place by its number of speakers after Mandarin Chinese. 3. What is the difference between English as a Second Language, English as a Foreign Language and English for Specific Purposes? Give examples of situations where they are used. English as a Second Language (ESL or TESL) is a traditional term for the use or study of the English language by non-native speakers in an English-speaking environment. That environment may be a country in which English is the mother tongue (e.g., Australia, the U.S.) or one in which English has an established role (e.g., India, Nigeria)
................................................................................................................................................12 Introduction I chose this theme because I am really into all kinds of different cultures. What most exited me in this theme was that I had absolutely no idea who creoles were. Now I now that there were three general groups that made up Creole society: 1) whites who were Creoles, Americans, and inhabitants of European origin made up the highest class; 2) free Blacks, emancipated slaves and their descendants made up the middle class; and 3) slaves who were household property, were the lowest class. The Creoles were the majority of the white population. They had a complex social organization, which included foreign groups such as Germans, Irish, and Spaniards whose names were given a French accent. The people who could trace their noble ancestors called themselves "Creole."
continent, nor did he open it to European trade. Scandinavian Vikings already had settlements here in the eleventh century, and British fisherman probably fished the shores of Canada for decades before Columbus. The first European explorer to thoroughly document his visit to North America was the Italian explorer Giovanni Caboto, who sailed for England's King Henry VII and became known by his anglicized name, John Cabot. Caboto arrived in 1497 and claimed North America for the English sovereign while Columbus was still searching for India in the Caribbean. Unable to celebrate Columbus' exploration as a great discovery, some apologists now want to commemorate it as the great "cultural encounter." Contrary to popular legend, Columbus did not prove that the world was round; educated people had known that for centuries. The Egyptian-Greek scientist Erastosthenes, working for Alexandria and Aswan, already had measured the circumference and diameter of the world in the third

Jan Peter Balkenende (CDA) is the Prime Minister. Queen Beatrix is the head of state. (6) 1.2 Land & Climate The Netherlands is very flat. Nearly a quarter of its surface area is below sea level. The lowest point in the Netherlands, near Rotterdam, is 6.7 metres below sea level. Its highest point, the Vaalserberg, is 312 meters above sea level. The Vaalserberg is in the southeast of the country, where the borders of the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany meet. The Netherlands has a temperature climate, thanks to its long coastline. The average temperatures are 18 degrees Celsius in summer and three degrees Celsius in winter. Average annual rainfall is 800 millimetres. (6) 4 1.3 Economy
with a president (currently Aníbal Cavaco Silva) and prime minister (currently Pedro Passos Coelho). Since the 1990s, Portugal's economic development model has been slowly changing from one based on public consumption to one focused on exports, private investment, and development of the high-tech sector. The Portuguese currency is the euro () and the country's economy is in the eurozone. DEVELOPMENT Portugal is a developed country with a very high Human Development Index, the world's 19th highest quality-of-life as of 2005, and a strong healthcare system. It is one of the world's most globalized and peaceful nations: a member of the European Union and the United Nations, and a founding member of the Latin Union, the Organization of Ibero-American States, OECD, NATO, the Community of Portuguese Language Countries, the eurozone and the Schengen Agreement.

History exam *Stonehenge - is a monument located in England. It is one of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world and is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones. The surrounding circular, earth bank and ditch, have been dated to about 3100 BC. Stonehenge was produced by a culture with no written language. Many aspects of Stonehenge remain subject to debate. There is little or no direct evidence for the construction techniques used by the Stonehenge builders. *The Celts in Britain and their legacy The Cets lived in Britain in The Iron Age. They were warring tribes who were battleful amongst themselves as well as inter-tribal war. They were not centrally governed. The Celts brought iron working, iron ploughs and metal swords,

LEGALIZATION OF A COMPANY WITH A FOREIGN OWNER IN RUSSIA Today the investment attractiveness of Russia is very high. In addition to the dynamic pace of development of the economy, Russia offers to foreign investors increasing every year the market of goods and services to consumer and business. Most often, this together with the high rate of return on invested capital is a crucial factor in the decision to enter the Russian market. One possible way to full implementation of business activities on the territory of the Russian Federation - is the creation of a legal entity. An enterprise with foreign capital - is created on the territory of the Russian business-
стран мира. 6 INTRODUCTION Aspects of British History presents a brief outline of the most significant milestones in the long and eventful history of Great Britain, such as the five successful invasions of the island, the birth of Parliament and transformation of an absolute monarchy into a constitutional monarchy, the origin of the English language, the rise and fall of the British Empire. The units contain an informative reading text on an important issue, preceded by preparatory discussion questions and followed by notes offering some additional information, and a vocabulary with relevant language notes. The main reading text is accompanied by comprehension, vocabulary and grammar exercises and discussion activities. Some of the units include reading passages.
There are genes which control how evenly the hair is coloured i.e. the bands of colour on each hair. In agouti cats, it is easy to see different bands of colour using a magnifying glass. In cats with apparently solid-coloured fur, you would need a microscope. Even though the effect on an individual hair can't be detected, the overall effect on an area of fur is make the colour more or less dense i.e. darker or lighter. In general the self colours (with plain English descriptions) are: Colour name Plain English Description Albino White Amber Born black, brightens to bright apricot to cinnamon with age.

3. The Roman conquest Julius Caesar's first raid was in 55 BC but the romans left. Ad 43- the Romans came to stay. The army established Roman rule in the south and SW of the country. The Romans started to introduce their laws to a new province of the Roman Empire and started to build good roads. Officials were appointed (governors, procurators to collect taxes, look after the estates and mines and se that the gold, silver, iron and lead were exported back to Rome). Introduced schools,a new language Latin, large farms (villas), baths. In AD 410 they had to leave . roman occupation lasted nearly 400 years. They left behind very little. Roman province of Britannia covered most of present-day England and Wales. 4. Latin influence on English *The influence of Latin is noticeable also in the names of European cities: the Latin noun colonia (settlement, colony) may be found in numerous place-names: Lincoln, Colchester, Cologne ; from

The main aim of the reforms was to boost foreign investments, cre- ate new jobs, stimulate entrepreneurial activities in a variety of fields and increase the welfare of citizens. As a result of economic deregulation policy which was focused on liberalization of the Economy, a number of state regulated spheres were sharply decreased and regulation procedures were sim- plified. Consequently, our achievements have been recognized by a number of international in- stitutions
Humanitarian doctrine if a certain country violates human rights very severely and if other attempts have failed to prevent and stop this, then war can be used as a method to stop this stuff. Süüria chemical weapons doctrine is one of the strongest doctrine ever, respected by almost everyone, that's why people are so shocked about the events there. It's a grave violation of PIL. If there's enough evidence that chemical weapons were used, then war is basically a legal method, but not fully, because it isn't one of the reasons that allows war as a method to resolve conflict. Differences: Public International Law Private International Law = conflict of laws Subjects States, intergovernmental Regulates relations between
the economic behaviour of East Indians and Pakistanis. It is an economic doctrine I have christened the “Spider Web Doctrine,” because I believe we all understand how spiders behave. They build a web, and if an ant or fly dares enter the web, they are not allowed to come out. The spider closes its web. That is exactly how the Indians have employed the spider web doctrine to become a major economic force worldwide. The Indians have created virtual economy in the communities they live. When a dollar 2 comes into the community, because of spider-web mentality, that dollar does not leave the community. They reinvest it by buying from other Indians. Indians have studied the art of being a major economic force in America without antagonizing any particular group. You don’t see them in hostile neighbourhood, where they could be held hostage by the anger of that group
codes and ciphers, "decipher" and "decode" served in both senses (and occasionally still do), and in quotations where they are used in the sense of solve, they are retained if they will not confuse. Sometimes cryptanalysis is called codebreaking; this includes solving ciphers. The original intelligible text that emerges from either decipherment or cryptanalysis is again called plaintext. Messages sent without encipherment are cleartext or in clear, though they are sometimes called in plain language. Cryptology is the science that embraces cryptography and cryptanalysis, but the term "cryptology" sometimes loosely designates the entire dual field of both rendering signals secure and extracting information from them. This broader field has grown to include many new areas; it encompasses, for example, means to deprive the enemy of information obtainable by studying the traffic patterns of radio messages, and means of obtaining information from radar emissions
In Deism, there is no interference by a deity, and man controls his own destiny. These ideas stirred the masses into action, as the people dreamed of carving their own futures. Adopted by the Founding Fathers, Enlightenment ideals became the vision for modernday America, where these ideologies are deeply rooted in the nation. The Enlightenment was important America because it provided the philosophical basis of the American Revolution. The Revolution was more than just a protest against English authority; as it turned out, the American Revolution provided a blueprint for the organization of a democratic society. And while imperfectly done, for it did not address the terrible problem of slavery, the American Revolution was an enlightened concept of government whose most profound documents may have been the American Declaration of Independence and United States Constitution.

followed by the unanimous ratification of the Convention by many countries (except the US and Somalia) represented a significant shift in the status of children in society. The UNCRC is the first legally binding law under International Law that has granted children with the recognition as respected individuals with rights of their own. 8 The UNCRC states that all children regardless of their `race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national, ethnic or social origin (Article 2) are entitled to the set of `economic, social, cultural, civil and political rights (Article 4)`.9 The Convention provides a framework stating that children not only have the right to be cared for, provided for and protected but also have the right to participate in the matters that affect their daily lives (Article 12). 10 The Article 12 states that; 8 Howe Brian and Covell Katherine, 2007, p.20.
thematics, core ideas, is emphasised by the outstanding symphonist Eduard Tubin and by Artur Kapp, both meritorious Estonian composers. When we want to consider a musical work seriously there must be a considerable core idea: vivid, momentous, profound and absorbing. It may be expressed through different means and not only through a completed conception. We can recognise this when it is evident that there is no equivalent possible in words. Music and speech are two different forms of language: often flowing in parallel, but never coinciding. Creation is simply unexplainable and those who are of the opinion that by analysing music its value can be analysed, have taken a wrong path. Value remains beyond analytical means.2 The first Estonian symphonists (Tobias, Kapp, Lemba) began with a classical- romantic background applying historically defined subdivisions: action, mediation, playfulness, and closure. With all this complexity there must be for the listener a

had planted, for example. In practice, the 80/20 principle is often much more disproportionate. To be perceived as uent in conversational Spanish, for example, you need an active vocabulary of approximately 2,500 high-frequency words. This will allow you to comprehend more than 95% of all conversation. To get to 98% comprehension would require at least ve years of practice instead of ve months. Doing the math, 2,500 words is a mere 2.5% of the estimated 100,000 words in the Spanish language. This means: 1. 2.5% of the total subject matter provides 95% of the desired results. 2. This same 2.5% provides just 3% less benefit than putting in 12 times as much effort. This incredibly valuable 2.5% is the key, the Archimedes lever, for those who want the best results in the least time. The trick is finding that 2.5%.5 This book is not intended as a comprehensive treatise on all things related to the human body. My goal is to share what I have found to be the 2

What is going on outside of you is a reflection of what is going in inside of you. You can tell the inner condition of a person by looking at the outer conditions of his or her life. And it cannot be otherwise. ■ THOUGHTS ARE THINGS Your mind is extraordinarily powerful. Your thoughts control and determine almost everything that happens to you. They can raise or lower your heart rate, improve or interfere with your digestion, change the chemical composition of your blood, and help you to sleep or keep you awake at night.

continuously unfolds within and around you. In this way, cleverness may be gained, but wisdom is lost, and so are joy, love, creativity, and aliveness. They are concealed in the still gap between the perception and the interpretation. Of course we have to use words and thoughts. They have their own beauty – but do we need to become imprisoned in them? Words reduce reality to something the human mind can grasp, which isn’t very much. Language consists of five basic sounds produced by the vocal cords. They are the vowels a, e, i, o, u. The other sounds are consonants produced by air pressure: s, f, g, and so forth. Do you believe some combination of such basic sounds could ever explain who you are, or the ultimate purpose of the universe, or even what a tree or stone is in its depth?

"Hey, baby." "Have you fed that poor girl yet?" demanded a warm masculine voice over the line. Glancing at me through his glass office wall, Mark said, "Ah...I forgot." I looked away quickly, biting my lower lip to hide my smile. A snort came clearly across the line. "Only two days on the job, and you're already overworking her and starving her to death. She's going to quit." "Shit. You're right. Steve, honey-" "Don't `Steve honey' me. Does she like Chinese?" I gave Mark the thumbs-up. He grinned. "Yes, she does." "All right. I'll be there in twenty. Let security know I'm coming." Almost exactly twenty minutes later, I buzzed Steven Ellison through the waiting area doors. He was a juggernaut of a fellow, dressed in dark jeans, scuffed work boots, and a neatly pressed button-down shirt.
