Today,when English is one of the major languages in the world, it requires an effort of the imagination to realize that this is relatively recent thing-that in Shakespeare's time,for example,only a few million people spoke,and the language was not thought to be very important by the other nations of Europe,and was unknown to the rest of the world.
English has become a world language because of its establishment as a mother tongue outside England,in all the continents of the world. This exporting of English began in the seventeenth century,with the first settlements in the United States,assisted by massive immigration in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries,that has given the English language its present standing in the world.

Wonder why some pop singers appear to enjoy so much fame in their time. Usually, there are some valid reasons for their popularity.
Let's take a look at Madonna. Madonna is an international icon today, recognized and admired by millions of fans all over the world (1) FOR her strong and independent image as a pop star. Many of her fans have followed her (2) PATH to stardom and consider her their (3) IDOL Her pop music career (4) SPAINS almost two decades, quite an achievement for the fickle world of pop culture (5) WHERE artistes fall into and out of fashion (6) EASILY One reason for her staying power is her chameleon-like (7) ABILITY to reinvent herself. She shot to (8) FAME with hits such as Holiday, Material Girl, True Blue and Live to Tell. Although her (9) VENTURE into movies has not been as successful as her music, her position as queen of pop music was undeniable in the 1980s up till the 1990s. She has been a (10) CONTROVERSIAL figure, sparkling off much debate for mixing religion and sexuality in her songs and music videos. She has (11) INFLUENCED pop music, fashion and style, shocking and impressing many people at the same time. Her (12) UNIQUE identity in a era when so many pop singers look and sound alike puts her in a class of her own.
Another icon with even more mass appeal in his day is Elvis Presley. Nicknamed the King of Rock and Roll, or simply, the King, he ruled the pop music (13) SENSE during the 1950s. By (14) COMBINING black rhythm-and-blues music with white country blues, he created new styles of music and in the process re-invented wock-and-roll. It was considered remarkable and even revolutionary at a time when black and white Americans (15) LED separate lives and lived in great (16) MISTRUST of one another. Through music, he (17) BRIDGED a visiable gap between the two groups of Americans. To the youth of his generation, Elvis also (18) SYMBOLIZED rebelliousness and vitality. His influence (19) PEAKED in the 1950s but declined after the 1960s with the rise of other pop groups. He died in 1977 but he is remembered until today and thousands still flock to Graceland, his home, every anniversary of his death. Elvis Presley has definitely become a music (20) LEGEND
