Before the print was brought to England in 1476 everything was written by hand The few people who knew how to write were trained in schools set up by the church Those who made a living by writing for other people were called scribes
The work of scribes was not easy Much of it had to be done fast in order to meet the needs of the King the church and traders Most of the writing was in Latin but some of it was in English of the day No one was quite sure how some English words should be spelled
One problem was that several letters were written with short vertical stroke that all looked like each other Among them were the letters iuvm and n Thus five straight lines in a row might stand for uni nui uvi or mii As a result reading was sometimes difficult especially when the writing was done in a hurry
The scribes solved the problem in part by changing the letter u to o when it came before m n or v This is how sum and cum became to be written as some and come
At some point too the scribes seemed to have decided that no English word should be ended by u or v Thus in time an e was added to such words as live have due and true It was added but not pronounced

A Everything has been written by hand in English since 1476
B More than 500 years ago no one made a living by writing for other people
C The church set up schools to train scribes before 1476
D Scribes in England worked only for kings and traders
2 Sometimes people couldn’t read easily _______

C when the writing was in English
D when the writing was done hurriedly
3 The scribes changed u before m to o because _______
A the change helped them write faster
B the change made reading easier
C um and om had the same pronunciation
D om was the right order
4 It is believed that some scribes thought _______
A it important to add an e to every English word
