SECTION 3

Moe :

Yes.// I sometimes notice/that people from Nigeria,/Singapore,/Jamaica and the Philippines/speak English very well.//

Mr. Brown :

Those countries were former British or American colonies.// They needed to use English/when they negotiated in political situations/or when trading.// But they had their own local languages.// So,/when they communicated with people/who spoke different local languages,/it was convenient to use English/as a common language.// Actually,/it’s still the same today.//

Moe :

So people from those countries have chances/to use English daily.// On the other hand,/we use English mostly in class.//

Mr. Brown :

Exactly.//
