English today is bery different from the English spoken long,long ago.By the 12th century,the language had already changed very much .People then could not read the writing from the year 700.The history of English has three parts---"Old English"(before the year1150),"Mliddle English"(up till 1500)and "Modern English"(1500 to now).
The biggest difference between Old,Middle and Modern English is in vocabulary .Grammar has not changed greatly,but thousands of new words have come into the language .Many of these are frome French.
Another important change is pronunciation.It has changed so much that there are almost no words said the same way today as in Old English.

It was on April 10th,1912,when the Titanic sailed for New York.She was carrying more than 2,200 people.
At that time she was not only the biggest but also the finest of all the ships,for she had sixteen compartments with her.If four of them were broken,she would sitll be able to stay on the water.
Four days after setting out,while the Titanic was sailling across the ocean,man on watch suddenly saw a very large iceberg,100 feet tall.The great ship turned in time ,but before long there was a sudden sound from below .The noise was so low that no one knew what had happened.The captain went down and was greatly surprised to see that five of her compartments have been broken .The Titanic was going down fast.
The captain gave the order to give up the ship and hundreds of people jumped into the water.At last over 1,500 people lost their lives because there were not enough lifeboats.

随着时代的发展,现如今的英语已经与过去的英语有了很大的不同.到12世纪,语言其自身也早已有了巨大的变化,那时的人们对于700年前的文章就很难读懂了.总的来说,英语的发展可以分为三个阶段---古英语(早1150年前),中古英语(约在1150-1500年间的英语),近代英语(从1500年至今).
古英语,中古英语,近代英语最大的不同是在词汇方面.语法没有改变很多,但是融入了很多外来词汇.其中很多词汇来自法语.
还有一个重要的变化是发音.他变化之大以至于与古英语相比几乎已经没有一个发音相同了.

1912年4月10日,泰坦尼克号正前行在驶向纽约的途中.她载有2200多人.
在当时来说泰坦尼克号在所有的船中不仅是最大的而且是最豪华的,她拥有16个隔舱,就算有四个损坏,她还是可以在水上安全行驶.四天后,当泰坦尼克号正行驶在一望无际的海洋上时,哨兵突然发现一块巨大的浮冰,那浮冰有近100英尺高.船长马上调整船向,然而不久从船的底部传来一声巨响,可是这声音是如此的低沉以至于没有人意识到发生了什么.当船长走下船舱,惊呆了,五个隔舱已经严重损坏.泰坦尼克号快速的下沉.
船长命令弃船,绝望的人们纷纷跳入大海.最后,由于没有足够的救生船,超过1500人葬身大海.
