     Long ago, people in Rome (罗马) talked to one another in Latin (拉丁文). Pupils in school learned to read

and write in Latin. Books are in Latin.

     Some Romans (罗马人) went to other parts of the world. They took their language with them. Soon Latin

was used in many countries. It became a world language.

     People in other countries did not talk in Latin the same way. In each land, they changed the language a little.

As time went by, they made more changes. At last they did not talk in Latin any more. New languages had

come from the old one.

wall, city, and salt are some of the Latin words we use. You are a pupil in school. Pupil is a Latin word. It
