THE A I R _{AROUND U S}

All around the earth, lies the atmosphere. It is the air that we breathe

and

that makes it possible for people, animals and plants to live. It also acts

qs a safety curtain to prevent too much of the sun rays from getting to the

earth and burninq everything. When the X-rays from the sun reach the atmosphere,

the particles of the air absorbed them so that they never get through to the

earth.

The air ~ h i c h we breathe is made warm by the .reflection of the sun's rays

from the surfdce of the earth. Therefore the nearer the air to the earth's sur-

face the warmer i t is. 'This is one reason why it is cold on the tops of mounta-

Ins and why snow iies on the mountain tops all year round.

The air also gets thinner as it gets further from the earth. There is less

and less oxigen in it. When people climb very high mountains, they have to take

special breathing apparatus with them, with cylinders holding an extra supply

of _{oxyqen. The atmosphere above 10 miles from the earth is called the stratos}

-

phere dnd above 50 _{miles is tnc ionosphere. Beyond this there is thinner and}

thinner air.

BACAAN

English Universal Language

Growing numbers around the world are becoming English speakers. As _{a mother}

tongue , English is spoken by some 345 million people worldwide. Add to them

an equal number who use English as a second language,and the same number again

who are reasonably competent in English. The result : Some one fifth of the

world are English speakers !

NO "international language

"

in history

-

including Latin,

Greek and French

has ever been used so widely.

The British Empire spread English around the world. Today American English

is the model

In many countries today, professional advancement and social prestige de-

pend upor> a qood qrasp of Engllsh. Rccognltion of the importance of the Entlllsh

lanqudqc 1s qrowlnq rapidly, even in countries that had opposed its use.

i r ~ Burma, for example, the qoverment is gradually reintroducing English as the

~ncdluln ot ~rlstruction ~n schools.

Pockets of resistance remain, however. Some developing countries seve-

rely restrict or even prohibit the use of English, viewing its spread as "cultu-

r-a1

imperialism." In Bangladesh last year, Parliament passed a bill replacing

English >dlth Bengali in official work.
