/ a! v6 I3 w6 W& s 1 There is no doubt that English is a useful language. The people who speak English today make up the largest speech community in the world with the exception of speakers of Chinese.! ~! s5 O8 o. T5 f1 @2 I. P
2 A speech community is similar to other kinds of communities. The people who make up the community share a common language. Often they live side by side, as they do in a neighborhood （街坊）, a village, or a city. More often they form a whole country. National boundaries, however, are not always the same as the boundaries of a speech community. A speech community is any group of people who speak the same language no matter where they happen to live.' J3 K d4 Y6 Y8 L$ w6 }7 I2 R
3 We may say that anyone who speaks English belongs to the English speech community. For convenience （方便）, we may divide the speakers into two groups: one in which the speakers use English as their native language, the other in which the speakers learn English as a second language for the purpose of education, commerce, and so on.* L- X, I8 S, o/ _
4 Learning a second language extends one's vision and expands the mind, The history and literature of a second language record the real and fictional （虚构） lives of people and their culture; a knowledge of them adds to our ability to understand and to feel as they feel. Learning English as a second language provides another means of communication through which the window of the entire English speech community becomes a part of our heritage.4 a9 d; }0 S7 k9 k
