III. Read the article about the Mandarin Chinese language and complete the notes below. Use a maximum of TWO words or a number in each gap.
The World’s Most Spoken Language
There are about 6,900 languages spoken in the world. The number of speakers of these languages goes from tiny to very large. One of those languages which have a very large number of speakers is Mandarin Chinese with nearly 1 billion speakers! It’s only one of 297 languages that people speak in China, but it’s by far the biggest. About 70% of the population speak it, compared to the 6.5% that speak the next biggest language, Wu.
Language experts think that it spread to so many people in China because it’s a language from the north of the country. There aren’t as many mountains in the north so it was easier for people to travel and for the language to travel too.
The Chinese government uses Mandarin in most of the country, especially in the capital city, Beijing. In Hong Kong and Macau, however, government officials can also use Cantonese. No other languages are used by the government.
The Mandarin vocabulary is quite large. It has more words than French, for example (370,000 words compared to around 350,000), but fewer than English, which has around 470,000 words.
Many students of Mandarin find the grammar quite easy, but the pronunciation is more of a problem.

Life in a Nineteen-Fifties House
As part of a recent TV programme, a twenty-first-century family spent two weeks living in the same way as people in the 1950s. One month after filming in the specially designed house finished, we talk to Emily, one of the children, about her experience.
Q: What was the most difficult part of the experience?
A: I think it was the TV. I know it sounds strange, but the TV was very small and the picture was black and white, not colour. I didn’t mind that, really – I didn’t notice it after a while, but the programmes themselves weren’t great. Compared to today’s shows, they seemed very boring. My dad watched loads of the comedy shows and loved them. They didn’t seem very funny to me.
Q: And what about the best thing?
A: The school was fun and it seemed easier than my normal school, but I suppose what was most enjoyable was the food! I know that Mum and Dad had to spend a lot of time making it, but what we ate was so healthy. We had very little fast food, just a few chips, and there was no tinned or frozen food either, really. I felt so good after eating it.
