English as an international language
About one hundred years ago many educated people
4learned and spoke French when they 5met people from
other countries. Today most people speak English when
they meet foreigners. It has become the new international
language. There are more people who speak English as a
second language than people who speak English as a first
language. Why is this?
There are many reasons why English has become so
popular. One of them is that English has become the
language of business. Another important reason is that
popular American culture (like movies, music, and
McDonald's) has quickly spread throughout the world. It
has 6brought its language with it.
Is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world
so quickly? I don't know. It's important to have a
language that the people of the earth have in common.
Our world has become very global and we need to
communicate with one another. 2On the other hand,
English is a fairly complicated language to learn and it
brings 3its culture with it. Do we really need that?
Scientists have already 7tried to create an artificial
language that isn't too difficult and doesn't include any
one group's culture. It is called Esperanto. But it hasn't
become popular. But maybe the popularity of English
won't last that long either. Who knows? There are more
people in the world 1who speak Chinese than any other
language. Maybe someday Chinese will be the new
international language.

Fire at Antarctica station kills 2 Brazilian sailors
Two Brazilian sailors died and one was injured Saturday
after a fire broke out at a naval research station in
Antarctica, authorities reported. The fire occurred at the
Comandante Ferraz Station on King George Island, said
Adm. Julio Soares de Moura Neto, commander of the
Brazilian Navy. The three sailors were trying to
extinguish a fire that broke out in the engine room of the
facility. Brazilian military police are investigating the
cause. The station is home to researchers who conduct
studies on the effects of climate change in Antarctica and
its implications on the planet, according to the Ministry
of Science and Technology and Innovation. Researchers
at the base also study marine life and the atmosphere.

"Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is concerned with
every aspect of the relationship between computers and
people. The annual meeting of the British Computer
Society's HCI group is recognized as one of the main
venues for discussing recent trends and issues. A broad
range of HCI related topics are covered, including user
interface design, user modelling, tools, hypertext,
CSCW, and programming. Both research and
commercial perspectives are considered, making the
event essential for all researchers, designers and
manufacturers who need to keep abreast of developments
in HCI. "
