The Benefits of Learning English
Nowadays, there is no doubt thatEnglish is one of the world's most universally spoken languages. As collegestudents, living in an increasingly interconnected and globalized world, wehave the obligation to study English well, not only for the examination, butalso for our future. But how will English benefit us? I will talk about itbelow.
For most students, the benefits oflearning English is to enlarge their employment opportunities, since mostcompanies in China require a good level of English when they recruit newstaffs. Also, it helps people to have a higherposition at work. In addition, speaking and understanding English can let anindividual more easily communicate with others and find more job opportunitiesnot only in his or her home but around the world as well. What’s more, Englishis the main language of books, newspapers, reports and other professionalpapers, so a good mastery of English will broaden our horizon and gives us anopportunity to know the outside world.
All in all, English has become thelanguage of international communication, and brought the people from the world together.Considering the above benefits, we, college students, ought to study harder tolearn English and use it to fulfill our dream.
