English

English is a very important language nowadays as it is widely spoken. It is becoming a universal language used by almost every country, linking the different countries together, aside their different cultures, traditions and lifestyles. Hence, it is important that all the citizens of the country know how to converse and write the language as well.

This would allow the country to develop and prosper in time to come. There would be more business opportunities open for them and, being able to interact in English would give them a headstart and allow them to compete for the business venture with other countries.  

English would also make travelling easier. It is quite hard and impossible to master a foreign language in a short while thus, English is probably the only language that can allow one to communicate with the locals in the foreign country. With this, business transactions and ventures can take place smoothly. Those who have travelled overseas to further their studies would also not face any obstacles.

In many countries, employers are bound to choose someone who is more fluent in English as compared to someone who is poor in conversing and writing in English. Therefore, one will have to ace conversing and writing in English before even dreaming of getting a good job. This is evident even from tertiary education. To enter tertiary institutions, one will have to ensure that they pass their English language in order to get into their desired courses as certain courses prioritise English. It is even better if one can get better grades.

As said in the article, 'Global English 'Strengthening U.S. Supremacy'', '"Half the world's people are projected to be speaking English by 2015.'. This is indeed a very good move. The next step, would be to aim that the whole world can speak English.
