The development of the English language falls into three reasonable different periods. Old English lasted from about 450 A.D. , when the first Germanic tribes (部落)began to settle in England, until about 1100. Middle English extended from about 1100 to about 1475. And modern English began about 1475 and has lasted to the present time. Of course, the breaks were not as sudden and definite(确定) as these dates suggest. There has never been a year when the language was not changing. In spite of that, the traits(特性) of the three periods are so different that a man who knows both Old and Modern English well will find a great deal of difficulty reading some of the Middle English writings without additional(另外的) study in the important aspects (方面)of the language.

Dear Mr. Harrington,

I saw your name on a list of teachers of French who wished to spend their holidays in France this summer. I’m a teacher of English in Saint-Simon, a small village in the Loire Valley, just south of Saumw. I should very much like to spend some time in England, because it is many years since I had a chance to practise my English. Perhaps we could exchange houses for three weeks in late July or early August.

I have heard a lot about a holiday in Cumbria and the Lake District. I have been eager to spend a holiday in Cumbria ever since I first saw pictures of the fox-hunting, and read about the fine hunting dogs that you have in your part of the country. I am very interested in fox-hunting and I take my dogs out hunting in the local forest whenever I can.

I shall tell you more about Saint-Simon countryside when you express interest in my plan. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours Sincerely,

Jean-Baptiste Foucault
