English Language Day is celebrated each year on April 23, the date when William Shakespeare, the greatest writer in the English language, was born.
Many people consider English as the unoffici al “world language” because it
is so widely used. English is the main language of business across the world. It is the most widely used language on the Internet and social media.
The first English Language Day was the result of work by the United Nations.
A few years ago, the U．N.'s Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (the UNESCO) created Language Days for each of the U．N.'s six official languages. The aim was to celebrate the use of different languages around the world and in different cultures. Another goal was to campaign for equal use of all six official languages throughout the United Nations. The other five languages are Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish. The U．N. celebrated its first English Language Day on April 23, 2010.
To improve your understanding of American English, you have come to the right place: learningenglish. voanews. com. Every day, you will find news and information in easy English. Our stories and audio podcasts (播客
vocabulary, listed in our Learning English Word Book.
You can find classic “American Stories” on the website every Friday. On Saturdays, you can find Everyday Grammar, our newest series. It answers common questions about the language.
For English learners who want to learn through videos, we offer Learning English TV, News Words and English in a Minute. In addition, you are invited to take part in Talk2US, our Skype interactive (网络互动) program for English learners. This show is normally produced four days a week.

A new study suggests that by age five, children have a sense of self­esteem (自尊) comparable in strength to that of adults.
University of Washington researchers believe self­esteem tends to remain relatively stable throughout one's life. Therefore, the study suggests that this impo rtant personality is already in place before children begin kindergarten. “Our work provides the earliest view to date of how preschool children sense their selves，” said lead author Dr.Cvencek. “We found that as young as five years of age self­esteem is developed strongly enough to be measured，” said Cvencek, “and we can measure it using sensitive techniques.”
For the research, researchers used a newly developed test to evaluate self­esteem in more than 200 five­year­old children, the youngest age yet to be measured.
“Some scientists consider preschool children too young to have developed a positive or negative sense about themselves.Our findings suggest that self­esteem,
feeling good or bad about yourself, is fundamental，” said Dr.Meltzoff. “It is a socia l mind children bring to school with them, not something they develop in school.” Meltzoff continued, “What aspects of parent­child interaction develop and promote preschool self­esteem? That's the important question. We hope we can find out by studying ev en younger children.”
“Preschool children can give spoken reports of what they're good at, such as ‘I'm good at running’ or ‘I'm good with letters’， but they have difficulties providing reliable answers to questions about whether they are a good or bad person，” Cvencek said. “Self­esteem appears to play an important role in how children form various social identities (身份)．Our findings stress the importance of the first five years as a foundation for life.”
New research is planned to examine whether self­e steem measured in preschool can predict outcomes later in childhood such as health and success in school. Researchers are also interested in the malleability (可塑性) of children's self­esteem and how it changes with experience.
语篇解读：一项新的研究表明五岁的孩子已经有了堪比成年人的自尊意识。

8．When do children have strong self­esteem like adults?
A．As young as five years of age.
B．After beginning kindergarten.
C．At the age of fifteen.

C．At work D．At home.

Everywhere you turn, there's someone taking a cell phone. A day can't go by when someone isn't talking on it in his/her car, on the street or taking pictures with it.
There are many reasons for the cell phone craze (狂热), but

The worst problem is talking while driving. This can distract you from the road. Your eyes move away from the road while dialing, so you risk crashing.

You can also protect yourself by using an external antenna (外部天线) in the car. Use speed dialing keep your hands on the wheel.
Useful as cell phones are, they don't take the place of human companionship. If most of your socialization is on the phone, you may even lose some of your skills to communicate face to face with others. Don't let technology affect human needs,
od to spend “face time” with your friends and loved ones.
