Экзаменационный билет 1. a) read and translate the text : nearly 265 million people live in the usa and speak english. although approximately one out of eight people in the us speaks a language other than english at home, there are more native speakers of english there than in any other country. american english is very flexible and has absorbed many words from the languages of immigrants. words like liaison and rendezvous (from french), and rodeo and tornado (from spanish) came into the language because france and spain once controlled parts of north america. dutch and german settlers gave words such as waffle and cookies, and hamburger and noodles to american english. the first english speakers to arrive met native americans who spoke many different languages. to trade with them, the europeans learned words from the local languages, and some of these words became part of american english. native americans also worked as guides, leading the european traders and trappers around the country. the europeans learned the native american names for the places they were passing through. over half the states now have native american names.
