2. The origin of English: The earliest language recorded in historical data is Celtic around 500 BC. In 55 BC, the Romans invaded Great Britain and occupied it for about 500 years. Latin entered the region and became the official language, and the status of Celtic declined. Around AD 449, three Germanic tribes living in Denmark and northern Germany took advantage of the decline of the Roman Empire to invade the island of Great Britain. They were the Angles (invading central Jutland), the Saxons (invading southern Jutland) and the Jutes (Jutes (invading northern Jutland)). Linguistically, they replaced the Celtic language spoken in the area at the time. With the development of society, these three Germanic tribal dialects gradually merged into a new language, namely Anglo-Saxon, which was the basis of English. By 700 AD, people called the language formed by the mixture of three tribes on the island of Great Britain Englisc.

By 1000 AD, the entire country on the island was called England. These two words later evolved into English (English) and England (England or Britain). This is the historical origin of the two words English and England.

3. The international status of English: English is the most widely used second language in the world today and the most important international language. More than 300 million people around the world use English as their native language. In China, English education is also in full swing.
