You know that millions of people all over the world speak English as a foreign or second language. We are 
interested in speaking English in the next century. So we interviewed teenagers about how they imagine the future 
multi-lingual society and if English will still be important in the future. Here is what they said. 
I think languages change all the time. English is changing very quickly. But we need an International language. So I 
think English will continue to be the international language. It is the language of many countries - the USA, Canada, 
Australia, the UK, New Zealand, and an official language of many others such as South Africa. 
The language in the next century? I think it depends on people. There are more than one billion people in China. 
It's the biggest single group in the world. I think Mandarin Chinese will be the International language in the future. 
And there are a lot of Spanish speakers too in Latin America and Central America - in the United States it's the 
fastest growing language... I'm not sure...
I like English very much. I began learning English at kindergarten. But there are so many English words and 
expressions to learn and they are changing very quickly. Sometimes I feel sorry that it isn't my first language. But 
I'm very happy I can speak English fluently now. I think English will be the first language in future too. 
English is the future? I don't know. I try to speak English well but I know I make a lot of mistakes. That's why I am 
shy about speaking English but I'm a first year student at the moment. Maybe in four or five years I'll be able to 
speak it fluently. I want English to be an international language.
English is the first world language? Maybe. I've never thought about it. 
Everyone will speak English soon. The world is a very small place. We all need to understand each other. English 
will be the first world language in future. I'm sure of it because it's the language of computers and business, of 
diplomacy - all the big agencies like the UN, the World Health Organisation, the World Bank and Asian 
Development Bank, NATO - they all work in English, international conferences for most subjects are in English - 
medicine, law, banking. I think English has a bright future!
