penalty1 ENGLISH

I study English so I’m interested in English begun to speak in Britain. I try to examine about English.

First, I write that the Germanic influence English. The Anglo Saxons came from Germany, Denmark and Holland. They spoke a Germanic language. It became the basis of old English. Even today, words used in modern English for everyday life are mostly Anglo Saxon or Germanic in origin. Germanic languages, such as Danish, German, Norwegian and Swedish, have very similar words for the expressions. For example, it is shoe, earth, sun, moon, day, friend, house, water, food, and sleep and more. Words of Germanic origin are usually short and tend to be informal in modern English. Next, I write that the French influence. I study French now, so I interested in the fact. English also has many similarities with romance languages. This origin is Latin. For example, government, legal, nation and people came to England with the French speaking Normans. The words are associated with power and Norman French was used as the language of government. Words of Latin origin usually longer than words of Germanic origin and often have a more formal meaning in English than in the original Romance language. Norman French words didn’t enter English immediately. When the Normans invaded in 1066, ordinary people still spoke Old English.

Norman have feast. The English would look after the animals and cook the meat, still calling the animals by their Old English names. The Normans, when they saw the cooked meat arrive at the table, would use French ones. This explains why the English language now has different words for animals and meats.

Now, English language is spoken all over the world. I didn’t know the relations of English and Germanic, English and French. I’m going to study English and French more hard and I want to be speaking English and French fluently. (312 words)
