Liu Mohang, Class 3, Senior 1, Shenzhen Xin’an Middle School Instructed by Tang Ying As we all know, English is one of the most widely used languages in the world. Here are the reasons why we should learn it. First, English can help you communicate with foreigners to learn different cultures and customs, exchange ideas on topics, ask for directions when you travel abroad, order food at foreign restaurants, do business and so on. Second, you can enjoy reading English novels. For example, reading “Harry Potter,” you can go into the magic world with Potter. You can also understand the love and justice between the characters. Reading “The Call of the Wild,” you can learn the emotions between people and animals. Someone may say that we can enjoy Chinese novels in China, but the novels of the Western countries are not the same. You can find the differences between them and learn more things than you can find just reading Chinese novels if your English is good. Third, a good command of English can help you get a good job. A high English level is one of the most important requirements for a good job position. If you want to work as an engineer, your English should be good. If you want to be a CEO, your English should be excellent. If you want to be a translator or interpreter, your English should be perfect. As the process of globalization is advancing, English is becoming more important. To sum up, since English plays such an important role in the world, you should work hard to learn it well. Luckily, with the development of the internet, learning English has become easier. You can use apps on mobile phones to learn it. You can also learn it at school. No matter where you are, learning English is a good choice for you. |
