The English language started in Britain in the 5th century. It is a mixed language. It was built up when German. Scandinavian and French invaders settled in England and created a common language for communication.
Today it is the official language of the UK, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and Ireland as well as many islands in the Caribbean. Many other countries and regions use it for politics and business, for example, India. Pakistan, Nigeria and the Philippines. English is also one of the official languages of Hong Kong.

UNICEF deals with about two hundred emergencies around the world every year.The greatest need last year was in sub - Saharan Africa.The report says drought, food insecurity and civil unrest affected about twenty - four million people.
Violence and displacements( 驅(qū)逐)of people were especially bad in Sudan, Chad, the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Central African Republic.
