IV. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
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 is 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.
Question 28. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. English is no longer changing.
B. English is constantly changing.
C. Fewer people are speaking English today.
D. English is only spoken in English-speaking countries.
Question 29. In paragraph 2, what does the word "It" refer to?
A. Globalization
B. Brazil
C. Business meeting
D. International English
Question 30. What is Taglish?
A. A language spoken in Japan.
B. A mix of Tagalog and English spoken in the Philippines.
C. A new form of English in Singapore.
D. An old variety of English no longer used.
Question 31. What does the word "merge" in the third paragraph most closely mean?
A. Separate
B. Combine
C. Improve
D. Reduce
Question 32. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. English is constantly changing.
B. There are more non-native speakers of English than native speakers.
C. Taglish is a variety of English spoken in the Philippines.
