Why do we learn English?
Learning to speak English well may be the best thing you can do to improve your life.
That’s right. Do you think it would be fun to
have access to information
that other people can’t get? Talk and write letters to interesting people that
others can’t communicate with? Impress people around
you whenever you opened your mouth? Make big jumps in your
career,
leaving
others miles behind?
You can get all this if you speak English well.
Get access to knowledge
What are you interested in? Is it science? Music? Computers? Health? Business? Sports? Today’s media — such as the Internet, television, and the press — give you almost unlimited access to knowledge about your favorite subjects.- Most pages on the Web. That’s over a billion (1,000,000,000) pages of information! It’s amazing that learning just one language gives you access to almost all knowledge on the Internet.
- Books — on any subject, from all over the world. Read books by British or American authors, and books translated from other languages. Whatever you’re interested in, you can read about it in English!
- The press. Only English-language magazines and newspapers can be bought in every part of the world. You don’t have to search for Time, Newsweek, or the International Herald Tribune!
- Science. English is the key to the world of science.
- News reports. Watch international television networks, such as CNN International and NBC. They broadcast news much faster, and more professionally, than smaller, national networks. And you can watch them everywhere in the world.
Communicate with people
We like to call English “the language of communication”. Why? Because it seems all the people in the world have agreed to use English to talk to each other.- About 1,500,000,000 people in the world speak English. Another 1,000,000,000 are learning it.
- 75% of the world’s letters and postcards are written in English.
- Almost all international conferences and competitions are conducted in English.
Push your career forward
If you want a good job in business, technology, or science, get out of that armchair and start learning English now! (If you already have a good job, start learning before you lose it!)Knowing English will let you:
English is easy to learn
English is not only the most useful language in the world. It is also one of the easiest languages to learn and to use:- Simple alphabet
- Easy plurals
- Words are easy to learn.
- Short words.
- Words don’t change.
- Call everybody “you”.
- English is everywhere.
I fully agree with these points,every well educated person should know and speak fluently at least one language.
