THE IMPORTANCE OF ENGLISH IN TODAY’S WORLD

English was originally the language of England, and it has become the primary or secondary language

of many former British colonies such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and India. Nowadays, it is

the most international language essential to communication in our current time.

First of all, it is the most common foreign language. This means that two people who come from

different countries ( for example, a Mexican and a Swede) usually use English as a common language to

communicate. English is also essential to the field of education. In many countries, children are taught ad

encouraged to learn English as a second language. At the university level, students in many countries

study almost all their subjects in English in order to make the material more accessible to international

students. On the Internet, the majority of websites are written and created in English. Even sites in other

languages often give you the option to translate the site. It is a primary language of the press: more

newspapers and books are written in English than in any other language, and no matter where in the

world you are, you will find some of these books and newspapers available.

Although many people think that it is very difficult and confusing, English is actually the easiest

language of the world to learn because there are so many resources available. As soon as you decide you

want to learn, there are thousands of resources on the Internet and in bookstores. With good

understanding and communication in English, you can travel around the globe. Because it is the

international language for foreigners, it is easy to get assisstance and help in every part of the world. You

can test it by online travel. Any travel booking site you can find will have English as a booking option.
