T: why did the writer decide to end the passage with a question? According to the passage, languages change when cultures communicate with one another. So the writer intended to predict a possible road to modern English, that is, when Chinese culture communicate with English culture, English may change, too. So as time goes by, Chinese English may become one of the world English. That is what the writer intended to tell us about in this passage. So the writer gave it the title--- The Road To Modern English. When we want to write something, we should follow the following way:

1. First, decide what to write on the topic. ( the brief history of English)
2. Then, develop four ideas from the topic.
3. Next, give some figures or examples to develop and support the ideas.
4. A good article needs a good start, a good closing and a proper title.
(1). Start the passage in a way directly related to the topic. （ 开门见山）
