I’m a representative of youth who are an integral part of today’s world, therefore the English language being an international language and a modern one is of a great importance for me.
First of all, I’d like to describe certain opportunities to deal with the authentic English. And this is the Internet which is a part of my own and of my environment’s life. It is a boundless source of information we need. Of course, a great deal of data there is in Russian but still it is mainly in English. As my mother tongue is Russian, I often feel sorry to find the most interesting sites to be foreign ones and more often they are in English. Of course, you can work clicking the buttons intuitionally, but even a basic knowledge of English makes your Internet surfing more enjoyable. So a conclusion is we should learn English to be able to understand it well.
Besides, the English language is the language of education. English is the main entrance exam in a lot of universities not only in our country but abroad as well. This is a good motivation for me personally to study English. Having a good command of a foreign language, English in particular, you will succeed everywhere.
Being a teenager, I, just like a majority of my friends, am really into the culture not only of my own country but that of others. I mean songs first of all. You know how pleasant it is to listen to your foreign idols and to understand the lyrics, to read English literature in the original and to watch authentic English films. English opens great opportunities before you because somany people on the planet speak it! And not knowing it you are helpless. Everyone should know English today excepting those, of course, who stay idly at home and are not interested in anything.
I am sure that every modern person ought to know at least one foreign language and if it is English, it’s the best. As for me, I realized it long ago and I’ve been doing my best to master this language. And this is my second and main conclusion connected with learning the English language today.
