The Importance of Learning English
Write a paragraph to your class magazine about the importance of learning a foreign language like English? How is learning English going to help you in your future life?
I think that it is very important to learn another language like English because English is the most important language and especially because you can talk to people from other countries. Furthermore, English is very important too, because it helps you to find a job easier. If you know English, you can go abroad to work.
Learning English will help me in my future, because I will be able to work in most companies and I will go abroad.
In my opinion, everyone should learn English because it is the language that the majority of people use to understand when they go abroad and a lot of companies use to work with other companies in other countries.
