READING
I. Read the article and answer the questions.
English never stops changing
All languages are in flux. In other words, they are constantly changing. This is especially true of English, which is a real global language. There are now three times more non-native speakers of English than natives. About one billion people speak it as a foreign language, while only 360 million speak it as a mother tongue. So why is English changing and is this a good thing?
One reason is globalisation. Today business meetings can be held with people from all over the world – for example, Brazil, Nigeria and Japan. Nearly always, the only common language spoken will be English. This has led to the creation of a new language variety called International English. It’s a kind of English which speakers from all countries can use to talk to each other.
English plays a different role in different countries. In Singapore, Hong Kong and the Philippines, English is spoken as a second language. In the Philippines, Tagalog (the country’s main language) and English merge to create a variety called Taglish. But some local languages don’t merge with official languages in this way, and they are in danger because fewer people speak them.
The use of slang also changes a language. For example, colloquial terms such as innit? (isn’t it?) and like are used so much in contemporary English that they are now a kind of punctuation. But if people use these terms to communicate, maybe they should count as real words.
The fact is that a language evolves because new words are constantly being added to it. Nouns such as emoticon, spam or blog and verbs like google, photoshop or skype have all been introduced into the English language thanks to digital technology, and they will be with us for a long time. There is much discussion about whether these words should be in the dictionary or not – and some new words never make it into dictionaries. But at the same time, some words and languages that have been with us for a long time are disappearing.

II. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Braj Kachru was a Professor of Linguistics who invented the term 'World Englishes' The term refers to the fact that English has become a global means of communication with a lot of varieties.
In 1985, Kachru proposed a model of the different uses of English around the world. There are three concentric circles in the model.
The first of these circles is the Inner Circle, which consists of the traditional English- speaking countries, such as the UK, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. In these regions, English is the first language, and their speakers provide the standards of English.
The next circle is the Outer Circle where English is not the first language but the second or official language. The countries in this circle include India, Singapore, the Philippines, Pakistan, Malaysia, etc The speakers of these places follow the standards which the countries in the Inner circle provide
The last circle is the Expanding Circle. People in this circle speak English as a foreign language. Some of the countries in the Expanding Circle are Brazil, Japan, Russia, and Viet Nam. Speakers of English in these places follow the rules which the people in the Inner Circle have established.
