OF THE
ENGLISH
LANGUAGE
4 reasons why learning English is so important
1. English may not be the most spoken language in the world, but it is the
official language in a large number of countries. It is estimated that the
number of people in the world that use in English to communicate on a
regular basis is 2 billion!
2. English is the dominant business language and it has become almost a
necessity for people to speak English if they are to enter a global workforce,
research from all over the world shows that cross-border business
communication is most often conducted in English. Its importance in the
global market place therefore
cannot be understated, learning English really can change your life.

great wealth of entertainment and will be able to have a greater cultural
Those who are still unaware about the importance of English. They
should start learning English as a time will come when everything
would be understood, spoken and written in English. Better watch
some media and get the scope of English.
ENGLISH IN EDUCATION
I believe the purpose of education is to better a persons life
through knowledge and assist them later in life. Education is a
vital part of anyone's life. Without it a person could not get a job
and make it in the real life. I believe however that teachers must
keep in mind that one's education is up to the individual student. A
teacher should support the student, as well as the student
supporting the teacher. If a student feels that a specific
assignment or subject is unneeded then it should be reviewed. If it
is vital the teacher should simply explain why the assignment in
necessary, and the student will then have the desire to do the task
at hand. Education is a vital part of my life. I believe that I have
the materials to go far in life but without the knowledge base that
is given in a learning atmosphere such as school, this will not be
possible. I would however like to be given the choice of what to
learn instead of being forced to do certain activities. Young people
today do not like to read. Why is this? I believe is it because all
their lives books and school have been shoved down their throat
by teachers and professors who do not care about the student's
desires and opinions.
My personal feelings on the English language are stated above. I feel that
there are not enough words in the language and therefor people of
different cultures have language differences as well as differences in the
way they think. I believe many English teachers are forced to presaent the
curriculem in a repetitious tedious manner. I believe that there is too much
emphasis put on writing and grammar and not enough on oral presentation
and giving students the skills they will need later on in life. The ability to
stand in front of someone and present one's feelings or opinions is a
necessary ability for one to have. If a student can explain in detail orally
what they have learned without writing it in a formal paper, that should be
just as sufficient. As I said before, I believe its not the way a person states
something that is important, but what is being stated.
Regardless of this short bashing of mine, I do not want you to feel this is
my perception of you. This is my past experiences with English teachers
and the way they presented themselves and the material to the class. In no
way do I feel bias to your thoughts or ideas. I look forward to many
interesting conversations and debates in your class. I realize that my
desires are not realistic and formal papers must be written in order for a
teacher to be able to evaluate each student in an organized and timely
manner.
