The Importance Of English To You

The Importance of English to you

English language is one of the most important language one should learn in the current society as globalisation is rapidly changing the way we work and communicate. It is the most common language spoken which allows people from around the globe to communicate in the same medium.

I feel that being proficient in English opens new opportunities for us to broaden our knowledge as majority of the research and media on the internet are written in English. This is especially useful for us when doing projects as it allows us to search from a large pool of information. Most international studies and research are also published in English.

Since English is a common tongue spoken between countries, it will be a powerful tool in my career as it allows me to communicate and build relations with foreign clients. Big companies will usually prefer people who are good in English as they work at an international level.  It will be much easier to convey my ideas through a common language rather then through a translator where some key points might be lost when translating.

In my experience, English has allow me to make friends from different racial background especially living in a multi racial society. It has also connect me to the rest of the world either through online games or forums where I discuss a burning issue I have.

In conclusion, English has made the world stay connected as one where we exchange information easily. We should always further improve our English skills whenever possible as it will definitely benefit our daily life. I hope that those unaware of the significance of English language will start learning today. They will not regret benefits they will reap from it.

  1. Hi Kiang Yeow,

    I am agree with you that English is the only language to make new friends from various countries. Especially first day of school or first day of work, we surely using English to communicate with them to know more about each other. If this world communication without English, I trust that it will be trouble everywhere. In my opinion, English is extremely powerful because it links to whole world and it cannot be denied and ignore. Having said that, if we want to follow trends, new gadgets and technology, modernization of the following world, we have to know English whatever age are we in.
    Therefore, let us work hard together to success in English journey.
    Cheers!

  4. Hey Kiang Yeow,

    Totally agree with you on the importance of English, especially in Singapore where English are often use as a mode of communication between people from different race.

    Apart from the importance of English in Singapore, I feel that its important to have a good command of English as English is more than just a language where people use it to express themselves. The way you phrase your statement and your tone greatly affect the meanings between every word you say.

    I can resonate to what you mention earlier about the importance of English and I hope that we will all strive to excel in our English speaking or writing proficiency.

    All the best.

    Love the fluency of your passage. Your variety of vocabulary clearly shows your understanding of the importance of English and conveys your thoughts well.

    The idea that English gives us access to a larger pool of information based in the medium of English truly benefits us when doing our research work online. It is especially important to us since Singapore is a multi-racial society where different ethnic groups live together and converse using a common language.

    I agree with you that one should seek to further improve our command of language wherever possible and that the benefits would be endless.

    Cheers!
