15、 make English easier for students to learn but they werent always successful.In 1930, Professor CK Ogden of Cambridge University invented Basic English. It had only 850 words(and just eighteen verbs) and Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours. The problem was that people who lear
16、ned Basic English could write and say simple messages, but they couldnt understand the answers in “real” English! It was also impossible to explain a word if it wasnt in the Basic English word list. For example, if you wanted a watermelon, you asked for “a large green fruit with the form of an egg,
17、which has a sweet red inside and a good taste”!R.E. Zachrisson, a university professor in Sweden, decided that the biggest problem for learners of English was spelling, so he invented a language called Anglic. Anglic was similar to English, but with much simpler spelling. “Father” became “faadher”,
18、“new” became “nue” and “years” became “yeerz”. Unfortunately for some students of English, Anglic never became popular.Even easier is the language which ships captains use: its called “Seaspeak”. Seaspeak uses a few simple phrases for every possible situation. In Seaspeak, for example, you dont say,
19、 “Im sorry. What did you say?” or “I didnt understand. Can you repeat that?” Its just “Say again.” No more grammar!In the age of international communication through the Internet, a new form of English might appear.
