English and English Community

　　1 There is no doubt that English is a useful language．The people who speak English today make up the largest speech community in the world with the exception of speakers of Chinese．

　　2 A speech community is similar to other kinds of communities．The people who make up the community share a common language．Often they live side by side, as they do in a neighborhood （街坊），a village，or a city．More often they form a whole country．National boundaries，however，are not always the same as the boundaries of a speech community．A speech community is any group of people who speak the same language no matter where they happen to live．

　　3 We may say that anyone who speaks English belongs to the English speech community．For convenience（方便），we may divide the speakers into two groups: one in which the speakers use English as their native language, the other in which the speakers 1earn English as a second language for the purpose of education，commerce，and so on．

　　4 Learning a second language extends one's vision and expands the mind．The history and literature of a second language record the real and fictional（虛構(gòu)的）lives of people and their culture；a knowledge of them adds to our ability to understand and to feel as they feel．Learning English as a second language provides another means of communication through which the window of the entire English speech community becomes a part of our heritage．
