Dialogue between two friends about the importance of learning English
Zafi: Hello Zarif, how are you?
Zarif: Fine, thank you. What about you?
Zafi: I am also okay. What are you doing?
Zarif: I am reading an article about the importance of learning English.
Zafi: Nice! Actually English is essential in our every walk of life.
Zarif: Of course. It is an international language. In this age of globalization, it plays an important role for
communication in the present world. So, learning English is a must.
Zafi: But it is unfortunate that we are neglecting it. For that we are lagging behind our neighbours.
Zarif: Oh! It is really disgraceful. This situation must be changed if we want to keep pace with the modern
world.
Zafi: Right you are. Our international relations and trade would be affected much if we do not learn
English well.
Zarif: Exactly. Besides, without efficiency in English none can expect to receive higher studies as all the
books on higher education are written in English.
Zafi: Yes, it is only English that can help us to enter the storehouse of knowledge.
Zarif: Absolutely. But it is a matter of shame that most of the university graduates lack proper knowledge
on English.
Zafi: Exactly, and as a result they are being deprived of getting good job and receiving handsome salary.
Zarif: Right you are. A sound command over English is a prerequisite for good job and good salary.
Zafi: Undoubtedly. In fact, the importance of learning this language cannot be described in words. We
must study and practice English seriously. Thank you.
Zarif: You are most welcome. Good bye.

The importance of Learning English

The importance of learning English cannot be overstated in an increasingly interconnected and
globalized world. For the millions of immigrants who travel the world from non-English-speaking
countries every year, learning to communicate in English is important to enter and ultimately

2
succeed in mainstream English speaking countries. Working knowledge of the English language
can create many opportunities in international markets and regions.

International Language
English is the fourth most widely spoken native language in the world, and in terms of sheer
number of speakers, it is the most spoken official language in the world. It is the primary
language used in international affairs. The English language has official status even in nations
where it is not the primary spoken language. English is indisputably the primary language of
global trade and commerce. In many countries, most tourism authorities and other officials in
contact with the public speak English to interact and engage with tourists and immigrants.

Digital Age
While progress has been made in language-translation software and allied technologies, the
primary language of the ubiquitous and all-influential World Wide Web is English. English is
typically the language of latest-version applications and programs and new freeware,
shareware, peer-to-peer, social media networks and websites. Software manuals, hardware-
installation guides and product fact sheets of popular consumer electronics and entertainment
devices usually are available in English first before being made available in other languages.

Higher Learning
In universities and colleges in Great Britain, the Unites States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand
and Singapore, which attract the most number of international students, the primary language
of instruction is English. Most of the top business schools, medical centers and advanced-study
institutes are located in North America and Great Britain, and English is the language used in
every activity at these institutions of higher learning. Most peer-to-peer journals and technical
periodicals that give international acclaim to scientists, engineers, technologists, and
technocrats are printed in English.

Anglo-Saxon Influence
The influence of the United States and Great Britain on political affairs and international
relations for the past 100 years has ensured the proliferation and acceptance of English as the
primary spoken language in many countries. The widespread acceptance of American pop
culture also has contributed to the primacy of the English language. A working knowledge of
English is important for diplomats and high-ranking officials in such major countries as
Germany, Japan, France, South Korea, Brazil, Italy, and Russia so they can better understand
the nuance and craft of global affairs and international diplomacy.

Job Opportunities
Knowing English opens job and employment opportunities in many countries and markets.
Multilateral institutions and agencies in the four United Nation cities of New York, Vienna, The
Hague and Geneva recruit professionals with multilingual skills but also expect the candidates
to have good English-speaking skills. The Commonwealth of Nations, made up of 50-plus
countries that were former British colonies or dependencies, also offers numerous employment
opportunities to those who understand and communicate in English.
