Speaking
English has changed from being an alternative to being an essential requirement
if we want to get a job, whether we want to work in our country or abroad.
Nowadays
English is the most spread and spoken language in the world. More than 350
millions of people speak it as mother tongue, while the British Government
thinks that at the end of the year 2014 more than 2000 million people will be
studying it as a second or foreign language. Taking into account these figures
we calculate that in a decade 3000 million people would be studying English
what would mean that the half of the planet will speak English.
The
importance of English is obvious even in the personal field, since almost the
80% of the information stored electronically is in English and of all the
Internet users more than 30 million of them communicate using the language
spoken by Shakespeare.
So
that, given the significance of this language in the world now it is time for
English teachers and education ministry to motivate people and above all
youngsters and children to study one of the languages which will open the doors
of success when they will start looking for a job.
