IV. READING — English as a global language (7–11)
Read the passage and choose the best answer.
English can be compared to a student who participates in every school club such as the science club, music club, and drama club due to its widespread presence and influence. Today, English has become an international language spoken in more than 70 countries as an official or second language. It is the language of international businesses, movies, pop songs, and, unfortunately, most homework instructions. Some even joke that aliens will probably learn English before visiting the Earth.
Thanks to the Internet, English words like "selfie", "hashtag", and "LOL" have spread faster than gossip in a school hallway. Students in many parts of the world learn English from a young age, not because it is magical, but because it is useful. Many important websites, games, and apps are in English, so knowing it feels like having a cheat code for life.
