The Importance
of Studying English
It is a big concerned for teenagers nowadays as they are unaware of the
importance of English language as they tend to ignore to learn the language.
Students’ attitude towards the language is also crucial to make sure that these
teenagers can face the future world better by learning English language as it
is an international language.
Although the government has repeatedly told us of the importance of English,
many students are still not bothered about studying it seriously. There is also
a campaign that still on to make all the Malaysian becomes a better English
learner, which is ‘Enhance Proficiency in Bahasa Malaysia, Strengthen the
English’. English is the most important and the most useful language in the
world today. There are many reasons why you should study the language properly.
First and foremost, English will definitely help you a lot when you want to
further studies. Almost all books at university are written in English in all
subjects. Plus, it is a compulsory for any candidate to pass English with
credit before entering any universities. So, if you are poor in English, you
will blow you chance for better education or worse, you are going to have a big
problem studying at university.
The second reason why you have to study English well is that it will help you
to get a job. When you go for a job interview, the interviewer will surely talk
to you in English. The first impression you should give in order to success and
have the job is, to respond in English fluently. Your chances of getting the
job are very slim if you stutter while interviewing.
A good command in of English will also help you greatly in your job. If the
company you work is actively involved in international trade, you have to speak
to prospective customers in English. Miscommunication might occur if your
English is bad. And this will put your company at risk and you will likely be
dismissed if this happen.
Good English will also help you a lot when you travel. Every country in the
world studies English. Even the roadside stall-holders in China speak fairly
good English! At least some of the people you meet on your travels in other
countries can understand English. The language is certainly practical when you
are lost in your trip. Communication problem will not happen if you can
converse well in English. Inevitably, English is one of the languages used in
any airport in the world in making announcement. Knowing English well, therefore,
make travelling overseas easier.
Besides all these, entertainment is one of the major advantages you will
experience if you good in English. You will enjoy television’s best programmes.
We must admit that many of the best programmes are produced by the Americans
and British companies. High self confidence influenced by the programmes will
indirect inculcate in yourself when you are fluent in the language. Quality
time is worthily spent if you understand and enjoy the programmes.
Based from all the above elaboration, I hope that students will see the
importance and realise how importance the language is for their own future.
Although it is a second language in our country, it is now a main language all
over the world.
