<span>English is the most popular language in the
world. There are 300 million native
speakers. It’s the native language of such countries as Great Britain, the USA,
Canada, Australia and New Zealand. There are 300 million people who use English
as a second language and a further 100 million use it as a foreign language. I
think English is so popular because it is very important in different parts of
our life. It is the language of science, aviation, sales, computing, diplomacy,
and tourism. Millions of people nowadays
go to language schools and learn English. I
learn English, because I understand that I can use it. I like to travel so when
I go to another country I'll be able to speak English with other people. I can
ask the way if I am lost, I can order food in a restaurant or I can make
friends with foreigners. I also can read
foreign magazines and newspapers in the original. If I know English well, I'll
be able to go to the library and take books by English and American writers in
the original. Now we buy many clothes from other countries. If you know English
well, you can read something about the size of this or that thing. English also
helps to communicate with children from other countries on the Internet. If you
learn English you will have a better chance of getting a job that pays more in
your future.<span> </span></span>
