Hello everyone, nice to meet you, I’m glad to stand here and give you a speech today, and I’d like to talk about why English is so important in the world today.
First of all, English is the most widely used language in the world. It is spoken not only in England, America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand but also in many other countries in the world. It is reported that there're more than 20 countries and 550 million people to speak English is their native language. English is a current language in the world.
Secondly, we can get very important information that is in English. In the open times if you want to do business with foreigners, you have to learn English, for most of them are speaking and writing English. Besides, most of the valuable books are written in English today. If you don't understand English, how can you know more about the world, how can you get more knowledge? At international conferences, English is also used as the official language. Without good English, you cannot express your ideas well at such conferences; neither can you introduce China to the outside world.
The Third point is, learning English well can undoubtedly acquire the opportunity of further studying and getting a better job, perhaps practically but critically. Needless to say, most of us students are extremely desirable to get into the embrace of the best universities in the world, most of which are in the English-speaking countries. Only by having a high capacity of English we can have the possibility to be admitted into these excellent universities.
After graduation, speaking English fluently and having a high comprehension of the English language can obviously add the chance to get a more satisfying job. Otherwise, the position can discard you on account of your poor English despite the fact that you are more competent for the job than others. Conversely, good English can have you contact with a more extensive world, which can let you have the chance of promotion and even starting up your own career after your having enough experience due to your touch with the whole world. All in all, English is such a useful tool to obtain knowledge and skills.
English is taught in most of the schools of our country, but many students don't know why they should learn it. It is hoped that all the students should pay more attention to the study of English and make good use of it.。
