The Importance of English

Hello,How are you? Today I want to tell you about THE IMPORTANCE OF ENGLISH. Do you know that English is important? English is one of the national langguage to some countries. I like English because it helps me to communicate to people in other countries. I also like English because I love to speak English to my family and friends. I think English is the best

Hi Amy... What do you think about English? Are you interested in English??

Why English is important?

IF YOU are currently learning English in a school, college or institute of further education, you join approximately one billion other people around the world who are engaged in the same pursuit. However, as you try to memorise proper grammar, and try to avoid the mistakes common to most students of English, you may wonder why you are learning the language in the first place.

So, why is English important?

After Mandarin, English is spoken by more people than any other language, and is the native language of more than 350 million people. More people speak English than those who speak the Arabic and French languages combined.

Moreover, English is the international language of diplomacy, business, science, technology, banking, computing, medicine, aviation, UN & NATO armed forces, engineering, tourism, Hollywood films and arguably the best pop and rock music in the world.

English has plenty of words to choose from. In fact, an English speaker is offered the biggest vocabulary of any language with a choice of 500,000 to 1,000,000 words (including technical and scientific terms).

But don’t panic, most English speakers do very well with a vocabulary of around 20,000 words.

English can be fun too. For instance, the music of such stars as Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson and Madonna has encouraged fans to speak the language of their idols, whilst others have enrolled in English classes to improve their understanding of the dialogue in films and TV shows.

Or perhaps they have embraced English to enjoy the writing of Stephen King, George Orwell or J.K. Rowling. They may even have an interest in speaking English just to converse with travellers from other countries, who communicate by using the English global interlingua while travelling abroad.

Finally, if you are studying English at school, college or university, remember that getting an ‘A’ grade in English is almost worthless, in terms of communication, if you cannot speak the language. Spoken English is used in the best careers, the best universities, and is increasingly being used at job interviews. So like it or not, English is a very important language to learn how to speak.

PS: I love english language very much too.

Same.I love english too.

Nowadays,most of the country in the world is using English Langguage as their national langguage. But,unfortunately,most of the people in our country says English is 'dumb' and has no use. I say that's wrong. They think that English is very hard. Well,of coarse English is hard at first,but when you get used to it,it's really kind of easy. Am I right? Okey,to improve in English,we must study hard to understand and know how to speak in English. You can do it by;

a) Read storybooks that has English and also read English textbook.

b) Try to speak English to your family and friends and when you get use to it,you will improve in English before you know it.

c) Okey,honestly,I watched English drama/stories on tv. It's helps me to improve through the way I speak in English.

Okey,although my tip is less,but take note from it. You will improve in English after a little bit of English exercisess. Okey,till later I will give some more helpful tips. Bye!
