ENGLISH, AN INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE
Why learn English?
Because English is the
most important international language in the world. Some facts prove that English is the international language of air and sea travels, computing, pop music, politics, science and medicine, sports, TV and films.
The world today is a very small place. Communication and travel are extremely quick. Think of jet planes, satellite TV, telephones, telex and fax, for example. Because of this, we need a common language, and this language is English.
English is the first language in Australia, The Bahamas, Canada, Ireland, Guyana, New Zealand, The United kingdom and The United States. And it is the official second language in many other countries like India, Nigeria, South Africa, and Israel.
English is slowly becoming more than one language, because there are differences in some vocabulary words, and in some grammatical structures in every country that speaks it.
