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.
