"English is not just a subject that we learn in school for the reason that it is a key to unlimited knowledge."
The world nowadays has more than one billion people that exist, and one of the most spoken languages is English. It is the language that 1,500 million speakers take advantage of. From this, we should study English, isn't it?
It is considered by many that students need to study English. From my perspective, learning a universal language like English has several advantages.
Initially, this thing is helpful with career finding. If we want to get a good job with better salary, we must have a brilliant profile. Aside from having high education, being able to speak English as a second language fluently can make our resume better than other individuals. To show a case, my sister did a TOEIC test and her score was above average. The company that she decided to join in accepted her and she also received a scholarship for studying abroad.
Furthermore, becoming versed in English helps individuals to improve their skills. Some may ask why we have to know how to speak English when we already have Google Translate available. In fact, AI and other programs in the 20th century still cannot compete with human brain. Hence, learning English is very important. It enables us to develop our abilities by receiving new information.
Besides from improving skills and getting a better job, acquiring knowledge of English gives us a great opportunity to happily travel around the world and communicate with other foreign individuals. Everyone knows that English is a global language. Imagine how convenient it is if we can chat or confer with native speakers without worrying about about language barrier! In my case, moving to another country in the future is my big dream. The question is what's the most important thing I need to acquire when going to a different land? The answer is language. If I seriously gain knowledge of English, when I grow up or even now, going anywhere in the world will be so much easier for me.
Studying English, in summary, provides us with a really good chance to see and understand better the world we live in. English is not just a subject that we learn in school for the reason that it is a key to unlimited knowledge. Pupils should learn English for a brighter future.
