综合写作: English people究竟是descended from Anglo-Saxons还是Celtics
阅读部分Reading: Anglo-Saxons 1. A lot Anglo-Saxons migrated out of Germany, Denmark cause Celtics to retreat to other parts of Great Britian 2. English is derived from the language of Anglo-Saxon people 3. DNA analysis of people from a certain village showed that they are genetically similar to Anglo-Saxons
听力讲座部分Lecture: Celtics 1. Reading ignores the size of Celtic population Celtics population actually much larger than Anglo-Saxons, since outnumbered, it is unlikely Anglo-Saxons caused Celtics to retreat 2. Common for one culture to adopt the language of a politically dominant culture Eg. European countries adopt Roman as their language when ruled by Rome 3. That village is close to the area where Anglo-Saxons came from, so strongly affected by Anglo-Saxons, result inconclusive. In addition, DNA analysis of people in other regions reveal that they are more closely related to Celtics
