Soluções para a tarefa
People often talk about English as a global language. With more than 350 million people around the world speaking English as a first language and more than 430 million speaking it as a second language, It is spoken in 112 countries. It has developed into a lingua franca which gives people the opportunity to communicate more easily and overcome borders. During the 15th and 16th century Britain became very successful in developing new colonies and soon its influence, and consequently its language, reached up to America, the Caribbean, Africa and finally India. Due to colonization, the British Empire took over other countries and introduced English as the new official language. To avoid negative consequences, the native peoples had to arrange with it and adopt the new language as well.
