    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

       The English language started about 1, 500 years ago in England. Three groups of people came to the country. They were the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes. These three groups brought their languages with them to England. After some time, the three languages became one new language--- English. The name “ English” comes form the Angles.
