But an effect can become 2a cause, reinforce the original cause and producing the same effect3in an intensified form, and so on indefinitely. A man may take drink4because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the most5completely because he drinks. It is rather the same thing that is happening tothe English language. It becomes ugly and inaccuratebecauseour thoughts are foolish, but the sloven of our language6makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts. The point is that theprocess is irreversible. Modern English, especially written English,7is full of bad habits which spread by imitation and which can beavoided if one is willing to take the necessary trouble. If one getsrid of these habits one can think more clearly, and think clearly is a8necessary first step towards political regeneration: so that the fightagainst bad English is not frivolous and is not the exclusive concerning9of professional writers. I will come back to this present, and I hope10that by that time the meaning of what I have said here will havebecome clearer.

Keeping the air we1breathe free of pollution is a major priority towards making this eartha safe place. Other areas of concern are water, land, the ozone layer,and the preservation of flora and fauna of the planet.Every country has ecological issues to deal. In South America, 2the rain forests are rapidly disappearing as people burn and cut downtrees to make for farmland. Many Middle-Eastern and Asian countries3have a battle to fight with air, water, and land pollution.Lakes and swamps are spread with debris.4Mass chemical spraying is used to kill pests on trees and plants. Abundant5use of water in countries as China has caused major water shortage.6Rivers become polluted by factories and the populations that liveon their banks. Global warming isconsidered a major factor caused the droughts 7in eastern China, the Sudan, Ethiopia, and northern Kenya. The reduction of the ozonelayer is blamed for the global warming trends in variant countries of this globe, 8and the spread of disease like skin cancer. Societies at large need to pay attentionto the existing problems in order to get of the imminent danger of famine, 9drought and diseases that rise from the damage that pollution causes. 10

English is frequently used nationally for1.__these purposes, as was pointed out in the previous chapter. Ascholar inDenmarkorPolandor even a vast country asRussia2.will today often write or at any rate publish in English, becausehis work will thereby reach for a wider public. This does not3.mean that such a scholar has a native-like knowledge of English.In fact, the preface will usually acknowledge the help of someonewho has corrected and checked the English or even does a4.good deal of translation. The scholar himself may be very poorlyequipped to speak English or even to write it, esp. on any subject5.than his own field of interest.This is that is today called having a “restricted” or “specialised” 6.Knowledge of English, and we have come to recognise increasing-ly this limited degree of linguistic ability. Few people have thetime that is required to master a “full” knowledge of a foreignlanguage and few still would be to make7.the much practical use of such a language. Indeed, as has already8.been implied, even as native speakers we vary greatly in the amount9.and variety of fields of discourse in where we feel at home.10._
