Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Биболетова, Бабушис 11 класс, Дрофа: 22 Read the text and check your guesses. Mankind has always dreamt of the end of Babel and Globish is its most recent expression. As early as the 1920s, Charles Kay Ogden created Basic English, a constructed language with 850 words. Ogden said that it would take seven years to learn English, seven months for Esperanto, and seven weeks for Basic English. The concept gained its greatest publicity just after the Second World War as a tool for world peace. Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt supported the idea of using Basic English as an international language, and Churchill recommended it in a speech at Harvard University in 1943. Amused critics said that «blood, toil, tears and sweat» translates into Basic English as «blood, hard work, eyewash and body water». Though the idea got lots of criticism, it did not die. Another simplified version of the English language appeared called Globish. It was created in the 1990s specifically with the business world in mind due to a project its French creator, Jean-Paul Nerriere, had with IBM. It uses only the most common 1500 English words and phrases and continues to expand as a tool of common understanding in simple international communication. This expansion of Globish has made some consider it a menace to cultural diversity and the purity of non-English languages. Some also find Globish limited in what it can express, but the idea is that people would be able to share a vocabulary set up by the creation of the language. Nerriere himself is sometimes described as a remarkable man whose ambition is to promote global understanding between nationalities. He hopes that «some day it will be accepted as a viable alternative by the European Union or the United Nations». *Цитирирование части задания со ссылкой на учебник производится исключительно в учебных целях для лучшего понимания разбора решения задания.

Answer: The text says that people have long dreamed of creating a simplified international language. First, Charles Kay Ogden created Basic English with 850 words. Later, in the 1990s, Jean-Paul Nerrière created Globish, which uses only the most common 1500 English words and phrases. It was designed for simple international communication, especially in business. Some people support this idea, while others think it may threaten cultural diversity and is too limited.
