                                                        IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING ENSLISH

        Our world has been getting smaller and smaller due to the globalization and advancements in technology. Also, today’s globalized world becomes increasingly connected. Thus, learning English and our ability to use English have become one of the most important things in our lives because English is known as the world’s official common language. Since we need it in every area of our lives, everybody feel obliged to learn English. I can say easily that we always come across it while walking, watching TV and surfing on the net.  I can easily provide or list several advantages of learning English.
The first advantage I would like to mention is related to job opportunities. I think we need English language skills while we are looking for a job. These days, almost all firms are searching for staff who can speak English in order to reach more people because technology is improving day by day so firms are getting bigger and bigger in comparison to the former ones. Thus, firms are not operating only in their own country but also in other countries. These large market operations of firms necessitate recruiting people who can speak English and easily communicate people from other countries.
The second advantage of learning English is to reach all types of information in the world.  If you understand English, you can easily reach all news and events in the world by using telecommunication technologies. Thus, you are quickly informed about the latest news and world-wide issues. Moreover, if you speak and understand English, you can reach all academic sources, have the recent developments in your field of study and communicate with people who academicians and students from other countries. Thus, learning English is a very critical advantage for university students and academicians today.
The third advantage of learning English is to understand and benefit from other cultures in the world. If you speak English, you can communicate with people from other cultures and learn many things about their culture and life styles.  This would widen your world view and makes you a world citizen. Moreover, if you travel around the world and visit other countries, English would  be your best friend. Your English would make everything easy for you and you could do  everything on your own.
In sum, learning English is necessary in today’s small world and brings many advantages to people speaking English. If you learn English, you will have a higher chance of getting a good job, easily reach recent news and a huge amount of information thorough internet, and increase your cultural understanding. I think that speaking English is freedom. Moreover, everybody must learn English because we need it every area of our lives nowadays.
