Like young students, Rose was outgoing, kind and helpful. ___. Soon, she became a superstar in our college.
At the end of the term, Rose was invited to give us a speech. I will never forget what she said to us, “There are only four secrets to staying young and achieving success.”

Online, English has become a common language for users from all over the world. In the process, the language itself is changing.
There are now about 4,500 million web pages around the world. Some people say that within 10 years people will use English widely on the Internet, but in forms it is very different from what we accept and know as English today. Why?
That’s because more people now speak English as a second language. And they use it to communicate with other non-native speakers, especially on the Internet where they pay little attention to grammar and spelling.
Internet users already create a number of different “Englishes” like Hinglish(Indian English), Spanglish(Spanish English) and Konlish(Korean English). Though these different forms have been there within different cultures, they are now going far and wide online.
Some words are taken from traditional English. “Blur”(=" “not" clear” or “slow”), for example, is often used in Singlish(singaporean English). Some English words are put together to make something new. In Chinglish(Chinese English), “Long time no use” means “have not seen you for a long time”.
“In fact, most people speak different languages—it’s less common to speak only one,” says Mr. Smith. Enlish has become the world’s language, but it’s not pushing out other languages. Instead, other languages are pushing theirs into languages. Instead, in the process, creating something new.
