Read and answer. If you studied all seven Kid’s Box books, you've learnt more than 1,140 words and you've seen more than 200 verbs. That’s a lot of English words, but where do these words all come from? Like many languages, English uses words from other languages. This started a long time ago when the Romans invaded England. Then it continued when different German tribes, the Angles, Saxons and Jutes, arrived. Some of the words they brought are ‘kitchen’, ‘pepper’ and ‘cheese’. The name ‘England’ also comes from these ‘Angles’, and the country was then called ‘Englaland’. The people spoke a language which we now call ‘Old English’. This is similar to the language of the Vikings, who invaded later. Viking words include ‘egg’, ‘leg’, ‘sky’ and ‘window’. In 1066 the Normans from France invaded England, and English changed a lot. During the next 300 years, the kings and queens liked speaking French and so English took a lot of words from French, for example ‘art’, ‘mirror’ and ‘dance’. Since the Normans, no one has invaded England. English didn't take many more new words from other languages until people started to travel more in the 20th century. English now uses many food words from different countries, for example ‘pizza’ and ‘pasta’ from Italian and ‘frankfurter’ from German. 2. Where does the word ' England' come from?
