小学三年级秋季上学期英语开学第一课PPT课件
英语作为(English) 世界通用语言，是联合国的工作语言之一，也是通用的国际交流语言。英语属于印欧语系中日耳曼语族下的西日耳曼语支，由古代从欧洲大陆移民大不列颠岛的盎格鲁、撒克逊和朱特部落的日耳曼人所说的语言演变而来，并通过英国的殖民活动传播到世界各地。根据以英语作为母语的人数计算，英语是世界上最广泛的语言。
English, as the world’s lingua franca, is one of the working languages of the United Nations and the de facto language of international communication. English belongs to the West Germanic branch of the Germanic group of the Indo-European language family and evolved from the language spoken by the Germanic peoples of the Anglo-Saxon and Jute tribes who immigrated to the British Isles from the European continent in ancient times, and spread to the rest of the world through British colonization activities. English is the most widely spoken language in the world_ based on the number of people who speak it as their mother tongue.
