First, it is easy to learn. Perhaps in the world, only English is the easiest to learn. To put it bluntly, English has 26 English letters, which are arranged and combined in different ways to form words. It is very standard and easy to use.
Second, the utilization rate is high. Because of its ease of use and universality, the usage rate of English is the highest in the world. There are about 300 million websites with English as the main communication language in the world, which is far behind Chinese websites. According to the calculation of China Academy of Social Sciences 20 1 1, the global share of China websites does not exceed 0.5%. Is it rare?
Three. History and Military Status English is mainly used in Britain and the United States. In modern history, these two countries were very powerful economically and militarily, plundered everywhere, seized the resources of many countries, and spread English to the colonies conveniently, which made the spread of English very large.
Four. Economic and Trade Advantages In the past few hundred years, British and American trade products have been widely circulated around the world, and then the US dollar has become the hard currency of global trade, thus making English a "esperanto". Businessmen from all over the world must communicate in Esperanto. In addition, American movies, fast food and other cultures are promoted around the world, such as Hollywood movies, Disney animation, Coca-Cola and KFC. From McDonald's to Christmas, American culture has flowed into all parts of the world. The deep-seated reason behind this is that its economic status is irreplaceable. I'm afraid that's what the so-called "economic base determines the superstructure" means.
