English language everywhere

Five hundred years ago, between five and seven million people spoke English, almost all of them living in the British Isles. Now, anywhere up to 1.8 billion people around the world speak English. See even china will have more people that speak English than the united states. Because there is so many people in china learning English and so it will spread over time. English was taken around the world by the sailors, soldiers, pilgrims, traders and missionaries of the British Empire. English is so popular it has spread around everywhere around the globe. So all this is saying that English is the number one international language spoke in the world. Another thing we talked about in class is about online dating. Some sites are E Harmony, Farmers, even Facebook. We were saying that so many people in the world find somebody just by online dating. Also we talked about state farm, for people that talk to customers on the phone for any questions or problems. And we said that some people in India have this job, and they know English so that most can understand them.
