What I am writing is in English. You can read and understand because you are English language learners. But when you say people in England or the English people speak English, you would be wrong, or at least inaccurate in your remark. Ah, yes, you might correct yourself. The Americans, Canadians, Australians and New zealanders speak English too. That is true, but apart from that, what you really have in mind, or should say is people in Britain or the British speak English.
The words "England" and "English" are perhaps the two most misused words in the English language. The British themselves often say England and English when they really mean Britain and British.
What's the difference, you may ask. To understand the question we have to know something about the history of the country and its people.
We all know that Britain is an island country separated from the European continent by the English Channel. Actually there are two main islands. The larger one is called Britain, or Great Britain, and the smaller one is called Ireland, and these two, together with many small islands make up what is called the British Isles.
The British Isles is a geographical term. It is not the name of any country. At present it is made up of two countries, the larger of which is the one we very often inaccurately call England. The full official name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, but people call it Britain or Great Britain for that. It consists of England, Scotland, Wales and a small part of Ireland－the northeastern part.
People still tend to call Britain England not only because England is the largest in area and the most populous but mostly because England is the strongest and also the most influential country in every respect before it absorbed the other three countries(The whole of Ireland was a part of the United Kingdom at one time). Call it national chauvinism(沙文主义) if you like, but people in England call Britain England out of habit rather than conscious sense of superiority, though it annoys the Welsh and especially the Scots who are proud of their separate national tradition.

VI. Proof
It was a still and quiet morning on the lake.There was no human voices or cars to break the silent. It was a perfect day for fishing.
We sat at there, afraid to talk, thinking fish would hear us and flee. My father, hold our lunch bag in one hand, passed me a sandwich. It was terrible hot and clouds of mosquito were feasting on my blood. With my legs covering with bite marks, I complained, “ When will the fish come?”
Suddenly I felt a fish bite.My father became so excited as I was, and together we pulled in the fish that would be part of us dinner that night.
