Excerpt from Doughnuts - A Dessert Tradition
Mary O'Dell
Stories vary, but most agree that the hole in the center of the doughnut is credited to a New England sailor, Hanson Gregory.
Grown by many U. S farmers, bread has been an American staple for many years. Because many people needed to save every
last piece of bread they had, people began to experiment with the bits and pieces of leftover bread. Hanson Gregory was a
sea captain from Maine who worked on a lime trading ship. He would often bake and fry cakes from remaining bread bits he
sweetened. Tasty, but soggy in the middle, the fried cakes needed some changes. Captain Gregory experimented with cutting
out the center of the cakes. This was a practical move which allowed increased surface area for more uniform frying. The
result was the elimination of the dessert's soggy center. Captain Hanson Gregory had stumbled upon a superb solution and
redefined the shape of the pastry.

explanation:

as we know, the english language is spoken all over the world by native and non-native speakers and has become the most certain tool when it comes to communicating. businesses, schools, even romantic relationships depend on it to keep thriving. in addition, it is the language of the internet not only because most of the content available is in english, but also because people prefer to use it when talking to others, since it's the language everyone supposedly learns.

yet, there have been some current claims that chinese will soon take over as the most important language in the world. china's magnitude has never been more evident and doing business with the chinese is a gold mine for any country. we now see language schools offering chinese courses as commonly as english.

however - even though we cannot deny china's importance and the advantage it is when someone takes the time to learn the language their business contact speaks-, people in general seem to be ignoring the aspects that seem to keep english as the chosen one of languages. one of them has been mentioned above: it is the language of the internet. also, chinese people are still learning english, since it opens doors in communicating with practically everyone else, from every single country.

note: if this is not the sort of transition you need, let me know. : d
