10 English as a foreign language


English as a foreign language

English is world -wide known and very popular language. It is considered as an international language. It's one of official languages of European Union. We can use it not only in the English speaking countries such as Great Britain, USA, Canada, Australia but also in countries on the others continents because most people all over the world learn it as foreign language. It is the most popular language of business, politic and every day life.

It is widely known that knowledge of English is one of the most important things in our life and there are a few arguments, which confirm that.

We are the Poles and our native language is in use only in Poland. So if we want to communicate, being abroad, we can't speak Polish. For that reason we should know English which is international language (of course French, Spanish, German are quite common too). Moreover if we want to get into the university we have to pass language (very often English) examination. The knowledge of English gives us also chance to find well paid job in international firm (and not only international., Poland in the nearest future will be a member of European Union, so knowledge of one of the official languages will be very important for workers in each company in each profession). Of course if you know it very well you can also work as translator.

If we know foreign language (e.g. English) we'll able to read books and watch films in the original versions. We can also read foreign newspapers (for instance the Newsweek), take advantage of satellite television and the internet without any limits. There is a lot of information that it is of course mostly not in Polish. So if we know English we are able to enlarge our knowledge and meet many interesting people. We should also take into account that many instructions for use are written in English.

Summing up we must say that knowledge of foreign languages (especially English ) is one of the most important things in our life. I certain of that and for that reason I have been learning English for a long time. It sometimes requires hard work, but it will surly be very helpful in the future. Of course some people say that it's a effect of globalization and it's bad phenomenon because there's no variety in the world at this level. But life is easier, world gets smaller (using internet we can talk with many people from many countries, so one international and common language is very essential, of course we can be not satisfied that it's English, not their native language, but process of expansion of English language begun many years ago and it won't stop until stop).
