become lawyers and scientists. There are Maori in the government. Most OÍ them live like

Exercise 7. Read the passage carefully, and then answer the questions below.
Easy English?
English is an important global language, but that doesn’t mean it is easy to learn. Many
experts have tried to make English easier to learn, but they weren’t always successful. In
1930, Professor CK Ogden of Cambridge University invented Basic English. It had only 850
words (and just eighteen verbs) and Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty
hours. The problem was that people who learned Basic English could write and say simple
messages, but they couldn’t understand the answers in ‘real’ English! It was also impossible
to explain a word if it wasn’t in the Basic English word list.
RE Zachrisson, a university professor in Sweden, decided that the biggest problem for
learners of English was spelling, so he invented a language called Anglic. Anglic was similar

Bài tập Tiếng Anh 7 (Global 16

Success)
to English, but with much simpler spelling. ‘Father’ became ‘faadher’, ‘new’ became ‘nue’
and ‘years’ became ‘yeerz’. Unfortunately, for some students of English, Anglic never
became popular.
Even easier is the language which ships’ captains use: it is called ‘Seaspeak’. Seaspeak
uses a few simple phrases for every possible situation. In Seaspeak, for example, you don’t
say, ‘I didn’t understand, can you repeat that?’ it is just, “Say again.” No more grammar!
In the age of international communication through the Internet, a new form of English
might appear. A large number of the world’s e-mails are in English and include examples of
Netlingo’ like OIC (Oh, I see) and TTYL (Talk to you later).
1. What is the role of English?

2. When did Professor Ogden invent Basic English? How many words did it have?

costumes. For example, they may dress up to look like an animal, a person from a book or a
movie or a famous person from history. In some places, children go to school in their
Halloween costumes. After dark, many young children put on their costumes and visit their
neighbors. They knock on the door and shout “Trick or treat!”, then the neighbors give them
some candy or chocolate, and the children go on to the next house. Adults also enjoy
dressing up for Halloween. There are usually Halloween parties in the evening and usually
