Note: In conversation, we do not usually use the twenty-four hour clock. If we need to make it clear that we mean 06:00, not 18:00, we can say “six o’clock in the morning”. For 22.00, we can say “ten o’clock in he evening”; for 15:30 “half past three in the afternoon”. In slightly more formal language, we use “am” for times before midday and “pm” for times after midday.

Examples:

The train leaves at 06:56. Something woke me at two o’clock in the morning. Office hours are 9 am to 4:30 pm.

Dates

Dates can be written in numbers or in numbers and words:

15/4/93

15 April 1993

April 15^th, 1993

and can be said as:

April the fifteenth, nineteen ninety-three or the fifteenth of April, nineteen ninety-three

Examples:

Her birthday is 9^th April (April the ninth/the ninth of April). The restaurant will be closed May 3 – June 1 (from May the third to June the first).

Temperature

Although in Britain temperature are officially measured in degrees Celsius, many people still use the Fahrenheit scale in conversation, and this is common in the United States except in scientific use. To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 from the number, then multiply by 5 and divide by 9: 68F-32=365=1809=20C

Examples: Water freezes at 32F and boils at 212F. The maximum temperature this afternoon will be 68. Overnight, temperature below zero are expected, possibly reaching – 10 (minus ten) before morning. He’s got a temperature of 101. I think he’s got flu.

Telephone Numbers

When we talk about telephone numbers, we say each number separately, often breaking a long series up into groups of about three, eg: 295013

two nine five – o one three 59433 can be said as five nine four three three or five nine four double-three

If you are calling a number in a different town, you have to use the “area code” before the number:

0865 is the code of Oxford.

If you are phoning somebody in a large firm, you can ask for their extension number.

(0865) 567674840 (extension 4840)

Note:
When we asking about size and other measurements informal questions using some common adjectives? – How big is your house? – can be asked in a more formal way by using the noun form – What is the size of your house? or – What size is your house? You will often find formal questions like these in documents.

   The history of the English language
   

Part I

The ancient inhabitants of Great Britain were the Celts. The language then was not like the English of today. Only a few their words remained in the language now, spoken by the English people. Then Great Britain was occupied by the Romans. The Roman period of British history lasted 465 years. The Romans brought a few Roman words into the English language: street, Lincoln, Doncaster and some other names.

Then the Saxons came and settled down in the land they conquered. These Germans were the founders of the English nation. By and by came other Germanic tribes who settled on different parts of the coast. Among these tribes were people called the Angles. When the Angles and Saxons grew into one, they were called Anglo-Saxons, or Angles (English). The general name they gave to the country in which they had settled was England. The Saxons as well as the Angles called their speech English.

2. 
   The history of the English language
   

Part II

The Normans came to Great Britain in 1066 and the great battle between the English and Normans began. The English had a better position on a hill, but the Normans pretended to run away and when the English ran after them they turned on them and cut them down.

The battle in which the Normans won was near the town of Hastings.

William who was at the head of the Normans was called the Conqueror after this battle.

The Normans then marched to Dover, Canterbury, and London and conquered all these cities, and William the Conqueror became the king of England.

Though the Normans became the masters of England and the Saxons became their servants, the Saxons didn’t want to speak their language and the Normans had to learn English to make the English people understand their orders. In this way Anglo-Saxon changed a little by the Normans became the real English language of the future, and that’s why the pronunciation of English words differs so much from their spelling.

Jim works as a cabin-boy on a small ship. One morning he brings in breakfast for the captain and says, “May I ask you something, sir?” “Of course, you may,” says the captain who sees that the boy looks rather frightened. “What is it?” “Is a thing lost if you know where it is?” says Jim.

“Of course it isn’t,” says the captain.

“Then your coffee-pot isn’t lost, sir, because I know where it is,” says Jim with a smile.

“Where is it?” asks the captain.

“At the bottom of the sea,” answers Jim.

HUSKY HAD BEEN VERY HEALTHY
H usky Yellowhair is a little boy on the Navajo Indian Reservation in Arizona. It's difficult for his family to get to a doctor, because they don't have a car or a telephone. Their closest neighbors live ten miles away.

Last month Husky had caught a cold. He'd felt sick for three days, so his mother wanted to bring him to a doctor. She'd kept him in bed the whole time, and she'd given him medicine every day for three days. Still, he didn't feel any better. On the third day, he developed a fever. At that time, Husky's parents asked some friends to take them to the hospital.

At the hospital, Husky tried to sleep. He put his head in his mother's lap. From time to time he looked for the doctor, but he didn't really want to see him. Husky had always been afraid of doctors and hospitals. Up to that time, Husky had been very healthy, so he hadn't seen many doctors. As he waited, he grew more afraid. The family had waited for an hour when the doctor came.

The young doctor found the problem immediately. The cold had gone to Husky's ears, and he'd developed an ear infection. Although it wasn't a serious disease, it had caused the pain and the fever. With stronger medicine, Husky would be well soon.
