Topic "The Importance of Learning English"

English around the world. (The importance of learning English.)

The birthplace ( место рождения) of the English language is Great Britain. The English language is a state (государственный) language in such countries as the United Kingdom, the USA, Australia, India, New Zealand and some others. It is spread all over the world. English has become rather popular with people in very many countries of the world . More and more people realize (осознают) the importance of learning foreign (иностранный) languages. The knowledge of a foreign language widens (расширяет) your world outlook (кругозор) , helps you to talk with friends abroad. You can get new acquaintances ( знакомства) in different countries, get in touch with people while travelling, and especially apply for a respectable, well-paid job.

Choosing an interesting or well-paid job, we understand we should learn some foreign language, mainly English, and some other subjects that are required in many update professions . The main challenges in modern business are good qualification and knowledge of foreign languages if a person wants to be competitive and qualified in his profession. English is rapidly becoming a global language. That’s why we begin to learn English when we attend primary school. When we leave secondary school we can use English in our future job

My purpose is to become an interpreter in some foreign firm, or a journalist working for a foreign newspaper. I made such a choice because it gives me great opportunities to keep in touch with a lot of interesting, intelligent people. It will help me to visit various countries of the world, learn their traditions, and to become an ambassador of my country abroad. My choice also gives me great opportunities to read English books, newspapers, magazines, to watch TV programmes in the English language, to get more useful information and to have a well-paid job.

And moreover, perfect knowledge of a foreign language helps you to be a developed, well-educated, intelligent person.

To know English better we should devote a lot of time to learning. WE should make ourselves sit at the table and learn new words, texts, write exercises.

Though it’s rather difficult we have to work hard to improve our knowledge. So we must study English much if we want to graduate school and enter (поступить) the university. Then we’ll get extremely good knowledge in this kind of business.

School is very helpful in getting necessary knowledge in various subjects. As for me I’ve been learning English at school for already 8 years. I think it’s not a difficult subject. Though learning English requires a lot of hard work and industriousness (трудолюбие) if you want to develop your writing, reading, spelling, speaking skills. At our English-language lessons at school we work on these skills.

We also deduct a lot of knowledge from books, TV and Internet. We devote a lot of time to learning grammar and spelling rules, to reading English books . We develop our memory by learning poems and dialogues by heart. We improve our English discussing stories, writing compositions. To my mind the most interesting task is to discuss texts, their main characters, problems and challenges of the modern world.

I have to use all my skills to understand, remember and retell texts. But how amazingly pleasant it is when you can easily understand English books, songs, films and talk with people from English-speaking counties. We are looking forward to meeting some Englishman or American and to be able to talk to him in his own language.
