There
call be no doubt that English is one of the
world
'
s most widely
used languages. People use a language
in one of three ways: as a native
language, as a second language, or as a
foreign languge. English is
spoken as a
native language by over three handred million
people in the
United States, Britain,
Australia, New Zealand, Canada, some caribbean
countries and South Africa. As a second
language, English is often
necessary

other activities

It is said that English has become the
language of international trade and
transport. Most pilots in planes
travelling from one country to another use
it to talk with airports. All ships
sailing on the oceans call for help by
radio in it. It has been said that 60

English language is the international
language meaning 60% of the
worlds
population are speaking in english. This means
that we can

you gain friends not just locally but
internationally. Also
it
will open
some doors for you to venture
on other countries like UK., USA, and the
likes to spend either vacation or for
studying purposes. Moreover the
instructions given in some appliances,
gadgets, equipments, food labels

to see the development of our country, so I
think we should study english well to
get the highr technics of forein
countries. This is the reson why we

First, I
believe, any language broadens your horizon.
Secondly, I have learnt and
experienced, living in foreign countries more
than half my life, that it is easier to
understand other cultures, the more
you
understand about other languages and how language
may influence
thoughts and thinking.
English is spoken most around the
world, so it allows for most flexibility.
it's important for me because I can
communicate with people around the
world who speak this language, besides,
I can use it in many activities
such as
translation of books and movies, when you speak
another
language acquire culture.

better opportunities in your own country and
you have the possibility to work abroad

on your life and you are free to do
what you want
