When it comes to the importance of English, I believe that there are many and many answers, but in my opinion, there are three points. I know that people around the almost speak English than other languages, so I can see that once I go to work I will be required that the ability of writing and using English, furthermore, I can make new friends from different because I can speak English and I can talk to different country’s people.
Nowadays, people of lower English language ability is become a serious problem. Approximately 375 million people speak English as their first language. English today is probably the third largest language by number of native speakers, after Mandarin Chinese and Spanish. So we can see how the importance of English over the world is. I need to talk and talk to people, not only Chinese people but foreigners; I think we should really do more practice about English.
In my point of view, people who have the ability of speaking English and Chinese can be easier to get a job and their payment will be higher than the people who can not speak English. As soon as I can speak and use English well, and combining with my specialty that I can find a job I like easily.
In the relax aspect, once I speaking good English can make friends overseas. Going to foreign country studying some thing become very common today, in the other word, there are many different people study in my school, but the common language is English, so, if I can speaking English well can I make friends with them, and maybe I can teach them some basic Chinese conversation.
Because English is so widely spoken, it has often been referred to as a "world language", the lingua franca of the modern era. I can see how the importance of English is around the world. I should really do some things to develop my English ability now and in the future.
