Sentence Combination

Reference version£º

All of us can change our behaviour to fit different situations. We are festive, often noisy, at weddings and birthday celebrations, sympathetic at funerals, attentive at lectures, serious and respectful at religious services. Even the clothes we wear on these different occasions may vary. Our table manners are not the same at a picnic as in a restaurant or at a formal dinner party. When we speak with close friends, we are free to interrupt them and we will not be offended if they interrupt us. When we speak to people higher up, however, we are inclined to hear them out before saying anything ourselves. If we don't make such adjustments, we are likely to get into trouble. We may fail to accomplish our purpose and we are almost sure to be considered illª²mannered or worse.

From one point of view, language is behaviour and it is part of the way we act. It builds a bridge of communication, without which society could not even exist. And like every other kind of behaviour, it must be adjusted to fit different contexts or situations where it is used. When we think of all the adjustments regularly made in any one language, we speak of language variety. When we think of the adjustments any one person makes in different situations, we use the term style.

¢òª² Dictation

English is almost overwhelming in the richness of its vocabulary, estimated to contain more than a million words and to be the world's largest. From this vast storehouse, users of the language can coin words to suit their needs or give new meanings to existing words in ways that seem natural and effortless. Many other features lend force and flexibility to the language.

Whatever the future may hold for English, it has proved to be eminently suitable for almost all forms of written expression as well as for everyday use. It is sure to develop and change, for such is the nature of a living language. Probably it will become increasingly informal, under the impact of mass education and the mass media. Thus the written and the spoken forms of the language will be drawn closer together, making for greater flexibility. In the view of some, English might in time become the one generally accepted international language.
