read the excerpt from the little foxes.

regina. (to ben) horace would like to talk to you now. horace. horace would not like to talk to you now. i am very tired, regina— regina. (comes to him) . you’ve said we’ll try our best with each other. i’ll try. really, i will. do this for me now. you will see what i’ve done while you’ve been away. how i watched your interests. (laughs gaily) and i’ve done very well too. but things can’t be delayed any longer. everything must be settled this week— (horace sits down. ben enters. oscar has stayed in the dining room, his head turned to watch them. leo is pretending to read the newspaper) now you must tell horace all about it. only be quick because he is very tired and must go to bed. (horace is looking up at her. his face hardens as she speaks) but i think your news will be better for him than all the medicine in the world. ben. (looking at horace) it could wait. horace may not feel like talking today. regina. what an old faker you are! you know it can’t wait. you know it must be finished this week. you’ve been just as anxious for horace to get here as i’ve been. what does this excerpt emphasize about the character of regina?

her dismissive attitude toward her husband

her anger toward her husband about his past decisions

her desire to be a traditional wife for her husband

her innate belief that she is inferior to her husband

as we know, the english language is spoken all over the world by native and non-native speakers and has become the most certain tool when it comes to communicating. businesses, schools, even romantic relationships depend on it to keep thriving. in addition, it is the language of the internet not only because most of the content available is in english, but also because people prefer to use it when talking to others, since it's the language everyone supposedly learns.

yet, there have been some current claims that chinese will soon take over as the most important language in the world. china's magnitude has never been more evident and doing business with the chinese is a gold mine for any country. we now see language schools offering chinese courses as commonly as english.

however - even though we cannot deny china's importance and the advantage it is when someone takes the time to learn the language their business contact speaks-, people in general seem to be ignoring the aspects that seem to keep english as the chosen one of languages. one of them has been mentioned above: it is the language of the internet. also, chinese people are still learning english, since it opens doors in communicating with practically everyone else, from every single country.

note: if this is not the sort of transition you need, let me know. : d
