Составьте краткий пересказ данного текста It was a warm, sunny afternoon in Epping. Jamie and his two friends, Mark and Sean, were walking happily in the forest, telling stories of their recent holidays.
Suddenly, while they were enjoying their walk, Mark's foot hit something and he fell over. As he got up, he spotted something sticking out from the ground: the corner of a brown, dusty box. The three curious friends reached excitedly for the box, but it was too deep into the ground, which meant they would have to dig so as to get the box out. However, it was getting dark so they decided to cover the box with leaves and return the next day.
The following afternoon, the boys rushed to the hidden spot in the woods with a small shove. As soon as they got there, they started digging enthusiastically, and after an hour of exhausting effort, the three finally managed to pull the mysterious box out. Mark opened the box carefully, and what they saw in there took their breath away: dozens and dozens of small, gold cons! Later, they took the chest to the police and found out that someone had stolen those coins from the local museum and hidden them in the woods. The museum was offering a three-hundred pound reward to anyone who found them. The three friends were now proud and happy that they had discovered the stolen treasure. But they were also famous, as their story and picture appeared on the front page of local newspaper!

English is a West Germanic language first spoken in early medieval England which eventually became the leading language of international discourse in today's world.[4][5][6] It is named after the Angles, one of the ancient Germanic peoples that migrated to the area of Great Britain that later took their name, England. Both names derive from Anglia, a peninsula on the Baltic Sea. English is most closely related to Frisian and Low Saxon, while its vocabulary has been significantly influenced by other Germanic languages, particularly Old Norse (a North Germanic language), as well as Latin and French.[7][8][9]

English has developed over the course of more than 1,400 years. The earliest forms of English, a group of West Germanic (Ingvaeonic) dialects brought to Great Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers in the 5th century, are collectively called Old English. Middle English began in the late 11th century with the Norman conquest of England; this was a period in which English was influenced by Old French, in particular through its Old Norman dialect.[10][11] Early Modern English began in the late 15th century with the introduction of the printing press to London, the printing of the King James Bible and the start of the Great Vowel Shift.[12]

Modern English has been spreading around the world since the 17th century by the worldwide influence of the British Empire and the United States. Through all types of printed and electronic media of these countries, English has become the leading language of international discourse and the lingua franca in many regions and professional contexts such as science, navigation and law.[4] Modern English grammar is the result of a gradual change from a typical Indo-European dependent marking pattern, with a rich inflectional morphology and relatively free word order, to a mostly analytic pattern with little inflection, a fairly fixed subject–verb–object word order and a complex syntax.[13] Modern English relies more on auxiliary verbs and word order for the expression of complex tenses, aspect and mood, as well as passive constructions, interrogatives and some negation.

English is the largest language by number of speakers,[14] and the third most-spoken native language in the world, after Standard Chinese and Spanish.[15] It is the most widely learned second language and is either the official language or one of the official languages in almost 60 sovereign states. There are more people who have learned it as a second language than there are native speakers. As of 2005, it was estimated that there were over 2 billion speakers of English.[16] English is the majority native language in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland, and it is widely spoken in some areas of the Caribbean, Africa and South Asia.[17] It is a co-official language of the United Nations, the European Union and many other world and regional international organisations. It is the most widely spoken Germanic language, accounting for at least 70% of speakers of this Indo-European branch. English speakers are called "Anglophones". Variability among the accents and dialects of English used in different countries and regions—in terms of phonetics and phonology, and sometimes also vocabulary, idioms, grammar, and spelling—does not typically prevent understanding by speakers of other dialects, although mutual unintelligibility can occur at extreme ends of the dialect continuum.
