French English Translation: How English Came To Be
Sir Roy Strong, the eminent English historian and former
director of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London,
has ridiculed the television programme �I'm a celebrity...
Get me out of Here!' in a recent article in �The Daily Mail'.
The rich Victorians were happy with an uneducated underclass
which they could control politically. The legacy of this educational
exclusion of the majority continues to the present day in England.
Hence, the appetite for trashy television programmes such as
�I �m a Celebrity'. I am afraid Sir Roy, the majority of English
were always philistines. The Victorian legacy has proved too
powerful to undo.
"It made we feel utterly ashamed to be British", he lamented.
For those of you lucky enough not to know what this programme
is about, let me explain. It chooses a number of celebrities and
puts them in an artificial situation. In the latest series they were
dropped in the Australian jungle and put through a number of
ordeals such as having insects poured on their heads!
As always there was a mixture of personalities with the emphasis
on young people of the opposite sex being together. These could
be relied on to use bad language, take off most of their clothes
or even have sex.
Just think of "salsa," "smorgasbord," "taboo," "wampum," and "pajamas," for starters. When necessary, English also seems to revel in inventing entirely new lexicons of words, such as for new technologies like the Internet. Internet is full of colorful and amusing imagery from "the web" to "spidering" and "click on the mouse," let alone such silly sounding words as "googling," "blogging," and "WIKI." It is a riotously "living" language and this flexibility has helped English become such a widely used international language.I also love English because colorful wordings and vivid imagery abound in both old and new expressions.
Tier 4 sponsors, regardless of whether or not they have been directly caught up in the TOEIC fraud investigation and/or have been asked by UKVI to withdraw sponsorship from students, must take their obligations in assessing English language seriously. Sponsors that fail to carry out thorough assessments risk being unable to mount a defence against an accusation that they present a serious threat to immigration control.
This is precisely the problem. On the one hand we have an elite
who enjoy these cultural pursuits, and on the other the vast
majority who are glued to their televisions watching �I'm a
Celebrity' or soap operas such as �Eastenders'. However, as
an historian I am sure Sir Roy is aware of the origin of this
problem in the educational system at the end of the Victorian
period.
Sir Roy deplores that "the country of Purcell, Shakespeare,
Isaac Newton and Winston Churchill had sunk so low. It's not
just that so many people watched �I'm a Celebrity' (14 million)
and the vacuous behaviour of its victims, but that they actually
gloated over such puerile antics in their homes."
As part of the investigation announced by the Minister for Immigration and Security on 24 June 2014, the Home Secretary ("SSHD") revoked the sponsor licence of City of London Academy ("CLA") and cited four grounds for doing so:
I picture tall sailing ships and Errol Flynn films when I hear someone say, "She passed her exam with flying colors." Think of other expressions, too, such as "That makes my skin crawl," "It sent shivers up and down my spine," "He's got his head in the clouds," "She's full of get up and go," and "They're head over heels in love."English even has a strong sense of whimsy, and so lends itself to delightful combinations of alliterative phrasings like "the whole kit and caboodle," or "footloose and fancy-free." It's also chock full of amusing words that are especially for children. Think of "choo-choo train," "puppy dog," "kitty cat," or "do the hokey pokey." Fun-loving authors have added to the festivities by feeling free to invent their own words, just for the pleasing sound of them, from Edward Lear's "Dong with the Luminous Nose" to Dr.
Old English began as the language of several northern European tribes � the Angles, Jutes, and Saxons � who drifted to the British Isles and displaced the Celts. When the Normans conquered England in 1066, Norman French became the language of the court and English was relegated to the vernacular of the common people.

Only used for quotidian affairs, English became simpler and thus turned into Middle English, the language of Chaucer. The Normans controlled England for over 300 years; during this period, many French words drifted into English. By the time English came back into favor as the primary language of the Isles, it had transformed into Early Modern English, Shakespeare's language.
