1. If number of speakers decrease, some languages will be endangered.
2. If Internet reaches all corners of the world, English as the Net language will influence the culture of non-speaking countries.
3. If English keeps on being global, other languages won’t set foot on Internet. 4. The world’s linguistic experts will be alarmed if many languages disappear at an alarming rate.
5. If some tribes aren’t urbanized and assimilated into mainstream, their languages won’t die out.
6. Youngsters will be able to communicate with people from abroad, if they learn foreign languages.
7. If the EU wasn’t worried about endangered languages, they wouldn’t issue a special directive on preserving them.
8. If minority languages aren’t politically tolerated, they will be in jeopardy.
9. If the high number of languages spoken in the EU corridors, it would be like a Tower of Babel.

A It WAS a beautiful winter morning and everything WAS covered in snow. Ann and Judy WERE WALKING slowly  through the forest on their way to the frozen lake.They WERE both very excited because they LOVED skating. When they REACHED the lake, the girls PUT on their skates and WALKED carefully onto the ice. “See! I TOLD you it was safe!” Ann SAID to Judy. “I DON’T KNOW  “ Judy SAID in a scared voice. “ What if we FALL through the ice? “ Don’t be silly !” Ann LAUGHED loudly as she WAS SKATING towards the middle of the lake. B The trekkers WERE WALKING  slowly up the mountain path. Suddenly, they SAW a large figure above them. It LOOKED very strange, with a large head, broad  shoulders and thick black hair. The creature SCREAMED loudly. It SOUNDED  horrible, like the scream of a mad person. Then the figure RAN quickly behind the rock. When the trekkers GOT there, they SAW big footprints in the snow and some black hair on the rocks. The hair WAS dirty and SMELT terrible. The trekkers carefully TOOK photos. From that moment they STARTED to feel nervous and they SLEPT badly  that night. When they GOT back home, they DEVELOPED the photos. There was nothing there – only snow and rocks!
