I. Introduction
We
live in the times when business relations are expanding beyond the borders of our
country. The borders between countries and people are becoming more and more
transparent. And with the advent of the information space, we see that in
communication there are no boundaries.
At
present we see in our life the manifestations of Anglo-American culture.
English is part of our life. It is not just one of the languages
of the world. For the 375 million people – it is a mother tongue, and half a
billion people speak it. English is a carrier of another culture for us.
If you want to become a sea captain or pilot on international
flights - you need English as an international language. If you take the
technical sciences, you will find that every engineer must know English, since
this is an international technical language.
If you want to study abroad in Oxford or Cambridge, from now you should
pay a due attention to English:
-
to watch movies in the original,
-
read books,
-
listen to the radio,
-
watch cartoons,
-
just to teach all that you go through the lessons.
Learn
English! It will be useful to you in life!
The necessity of this work is associated with
the strong influence of the English language and culture of English-speaking
countries on the Russian language.
Therefore,
the aim of the research is to study the influence of the English
language on our life.
Objectives of research:
1.
To analyze spreading of English in various spheres of our life.
2.
To determine the attitude of students to the phenomenon under investigation.
Methods:
•
observation;
• analysis of internet-material.
II. The practical significance of the
work is to study the spread of the English language in our life.
Even in such a region as Bashkortostan, distant from the
English-speaking countries by thousands kilometers, we meet quite often with
the English language and with the manifestations of the English culture.
II.1 From the history of the English language
The English language originates from the language of the old Germanic tribes
(Angles, Saxons and Jutes) who moved to 5-6 centuries from the continent to Britain.
The colonial conquests of England in the 17-19 centuries spread English
language outside the UK. The English language has been taken by British
emigrants to North America, India, New Zealand and Australia and other
countries.
Now the
English became the main international language, especially for business
communication in the United Nations and the European Union. This is the mother
tongue of half a billion people. (Every the 3rd or 4th speaks English in the
world. Among the young people the English language is considered as an important
advantage for education and getting a prestigious job.
II.2 English as
state language
There are 5 main
English-speaking countries in the world. These are the United
States, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Canada,
Australia and New Zealand.
Although these
countries are situated in different parts of the world, they all share the same
language. As a second language English is spoken in more than 60 countries.
English is one of the most popular and widespread languages in the world. I’d
like to tell you a little more about the main English-speaking countries.
The first
English-speaking country is the United Kingdom consisting of: England,
Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The population of the UK
is nearly sixty-five million people. London is the capital of the country.
Another important
English- speaking country is the USA. It is situated in the central part of
North American continent. The population of the USA is more than 325 million
people. The official language of the country is English.
Australia and New Zealand are other English-speaking countries. They
are former colonies of Great Britain.
The population of Australia
is more than twenty-four million people and of New Zealand is more than four
million people. The official language in these countries is English.
Canada has two official languages: French and English.
The words can also travel as the people do. They
come from these countries and remain in Russian. Let’s see.
II.3. Examples of borrowed words from the English language
The
words retain English pronunciation: hobby, provider, sweater, sponsor,
marketing, management, the Parliament, businessman, sportsman, show, talk show,
TV show, timeout, football, basketball.
II.4. Influence of the English language on the formation of
computer slang in Russian
English
is the leading language in information technology.
Let's
see which words come to us in this sphere: Play, start, go, up, down, right,
left, back, stop, pause, game over.
When
playing computer games we often use the following words and expressions:
Register,
Now,
Mail,
Windows,
Page,
Keyboard,
User,
Hotkeys,
Multimedia,
Network,
Internet.
Widespread use of computers contributes
to penetration of English words. We know that all terminology in this area is
in English.
Furthermore, as it is known, English
language is very economical. Using it we learn to think economically and
quickly.
III. English in the media
English
is widely spoken in the mass media. Reading a newspaper or watching TV,
everyone can find the words of English origin.
Let's see what words of English origin are
used in the articles on political and economic topics:

argument,
document,
campaign.

show,
rating,

IY. English language in Ufa
We can find in Ufa a catalog that came out in Russian and
English languages in the number of 10 thousand copies.
Nearly 200 pages about Ufa, its sights and people. This
catalog was published under the title "City, convenient for life."
The publication describes the enterprises of culture,
education, health, leisure and sports facilities in Ufa as well as hotels
where you can stay at and sights you should see in our city.
Now in Ufa
you can see that the names of main streets are translated into English, because
our city is visited by many foreigners as a result of the development of
economic relations. And as the English is an international language, everyone
will understand these labels.
There is "Britain" online bookstore in Ufa. It sells English
literature.
There is also “Book Hunter”, where you can buy books in English.
On the streets of our city you can find such signs as: "Everything for
Office", where the word “office” is borrowed from English.
And there are stores "Second Hand". There is such sign as
"Software Service".
There are mini-markets and hyper-markets, where the words are taken from
English.
You can see such names as: «Fix price: all 36", «Gloria Jeans», "Sports
Master" and others.
You can see the goods, not requiring any translation:
Milky Way,
Nuts,
Orbit,
Kit Kat, Dirol,
Mars and others.
If you buy shoes, you can find the following inscriptions in the box: Color: Light brown; Size: 36.
In our high school there is such a course as "Principles of
Marketing".
The boys in our class play football, basketball and volleyball.
ALL THESE WORDS ARE TAKEN FROM ENGLISH.
Moreover, English words and phrases can be read on the labels for
industrial products, in recommendations for care of clothes:

dry clean if possible.

pounds.
Coffee can be found
everywhere. Espresso is 1.2-1.5 pounds, cappuccino - 2.
Croissant is approximately
2-2.5 pounds.
Cake - 2.5-3
pounds.
A typical English dinner
consisting of salad, steak and side dishes costs at least 10-20
pounds, depending on the location.
YII. Attitude of students to the
subject of "English"
All schools learn English. It is no secret that English is at first
place among foreign languages. We decided to see how students of our class
appreciate the English language.
We obtained the following data:
To the question "Do I need to learn
English? For what? "
All answered " It is necessary. "
At the question "Why do you need to
learn English,"
The students say that English is useful in
high schools, when working with a computer, in communication with foreigners.
From the responses you can see that most of the students want to see their
future with English.
You can see how our classmates learn English: if they forget their textbook,
dictionary or book at home. Yes, unfortunately, some people forget to write
down homework or forget to do homework.
It is not a serious attitude. All students must be ready for lessons in all
regards.
YIII. Conclusion
After some investigation, one can say that
the culture of other countries, especially Anglo-American ones, inevitably
penetrates into many areas of our lives.
English is a universal language.
English is needed everywhere: at rest and at
work. Wherever you may be, it will always come to your help. Knowing the
English language, a person will not be lost at any point of the globe.
English is a necessity for a person.
I think that English
will always be the language of international communication. It is evident from
the fact of its distribution in many areas of our lives.
