| Mary: | Ken, are you reading a book in English? |
| Ken: | Yes. I asked my English teacher, Ms. Kato, how to study English. She told me to read many English books. |
| Mary: | I see. I think that’s a very good way to study English. |
| Ken: | I would like to go to a lot of places and meet a lot of people all over the world, so I am studying English hard. |
| Mary: | Do you know what language the most people in the world speak as a first language is? |
| Ken: | I think it’s English. |
| Mary: | No, it is not. It is Chinese. |
| Ken: | Really? How about English? |
| Mary: | It is second or third. However, English is spoken as an official language by the largest number of people in the world. |
| Ken: | I see. If I study English hard and am able to speak English well, I will be able to talk to many people in many different countries. |
| Mary: | That’s right. |
