It is used extensively as a second language and as an official language throughout the world, especially in Commonwealth countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and South Africa, and in many international organisations. Modern English is sometimes described as the global lingua franca. English is the dominant international language in communications, science, business, aviation, entertainment, radio and diplomacy. The influence of the British Empire is the primary reason for the initial spread of the language far beyond the British Isles. Following World War II, the growing economic and cultural influence of the United States has significantly accelerated the spread of the language. On an average school day approximately one billion people are learning English in one form or another. A working knowledge of English is required in certain fields, professions, and occupations. As a result over a billion people speak English at least at a basic level. English is one of six official languages of the United Nations.

Luck has nothing to do with success. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ III) Translate the text (Traduce el texto) What is a Demonstrative Adjective These adjectives have a special, simple function within the English language: they help indicate a noun and are within close proximity of that noun in a sentence. They are especially helpful when you want to make it clear which noun (which thing) you would like to talk about. With these adjectives, you can be sure that the listener knows that you want to talk about this cat with the stripes, not that one with the spots and that you want to wear this hat with the plaid, and not that one with the brim. You can even just use them to emphasize which object you are talking about: that pie was delicious! _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ IV) Create a comic using demonstrative adjectives (Crea un comic usando adjetivos demostrativos)
