Задание №1016 ЕГЭ по Английскому языку

The World’s Language

The English language is famous for the richness of its vocabulary. Webster’s New International Dictionary lists 450,000 words, and the new Oxford English Dictionary has 615,000, but that is only part of the total. Technical and                          (SCIENCE) terms would add millions more. The wealth of existing synonyms means that                          (SPEAK) of English have two words for something denoted by one word in a different language. The French, for instance, do not distinguish between house and home, between mind and brain. The Spanish cannot differentiate a chairman from a president.  In Russia, there are no native words for efficiency, challenge and engagement ring. Of course, every language has areas in which it needs, for                          (PRACTICE) purposes, to be more expressive than others. The Eskimos have fifty words for types of snow, though there is no word for just plain snow.                          (NATURAL), African languages have no native word for snow. Nowadays, globalization influences the                          (DEVELOP) of languages.
