Hello, everyone!And thanks for coming today. I didn't expect so many people. Well, I hope you will find my topic interesting. We always tell our students that English is the new world language and we try to teach them how to avoid speaking Chinglish. However, some education experts think a new global language called Penglish will overtake traditional English in the future. This will be a new simple form of English that always be spoken by billions of people around the world, people who speak English as second language. Penglish will be similar to the English used by native speakers. But we think some of English sounds which non-native speakers find difficult to pronounce will disappear. For instance, the "th" sound in "this" and "thing" might be placed by /z/or /s/. Our students maybe pleased to know that grammar rules will be more flexible, too. In Penglish , it may become acceptable to say "he talk" or "she eat" instead of "he talks" or "she eats". By 2010, around two billion people will speak English as second language and about 350 million people will speak it as their first language and they will speak English in many different ways.

Welcome to the Science Museum, everyone! I hope you enjoy the talk. Our first item is one of the early examples of human technology, an ancient stone axe. This one was found in South Africa and was made over 20,000 years ago. We can't be exactly sure what such axe for use for, but scientists believe it was to cut down trees and hunt for animals. Next, we have something a little more modern. This is a copy of an early compass found in China. The compass was invented in around 1,200 A.D., and was first used to help sailors find direction at sea. Another invention from around that period was the telescope. The earliest working telescopes appeared in Holland in 1608, and allowed the scientist to study the stars ant planets in great detail. Moving over this item and quickly through history, we come to the telephone. As you all know, this invention allows people to communicate over huge distances, what you may not know, however, is that it was invented not by the American Allixander Grain Bell, but rather than by an Italian named Benxas in 1844. Finally, we came to the Space Age. This is a model of the Apollo Spaceship. This was the first spaceship to land on the moon, and return with rocks for scientific study. The Apollo went to the moon in 1969 but was actually built in 1968 in America.
