How many people could speak english in this world?

actually, english is more and more important now. in most case, people communicate and do business in english. there is a reason for this: many developed countries use english as their daily language. as a result, people in other countries tent to study english to establish business relation wiht them. in china, the country with most population in the world, english is the ensstial language for students.

Wow. This is a difficult question to answer, if you asked me! Haha! Well, I'm one person who can speak English as well as my family and friends, classmates, ex-colleagues, online friends, etc. So many people speak the language that I think it's impossible for me to count. Hmm, maybe there is an organisation somewhere to conduct surveys to find out how many people in the world speaks English.
