English

English; a language spoke by 1 billion humans in the world.

United states is known for her English speaking citizens. Countries around the world are adopting English as a language for communication; including Beijing. This means that the united states would not be left out in the happenings of the world according to the article from http://english.chosun.com/svc/news/printContent.html.

Beijing also enforces its citizens to learn English, especially those who are under 40 years of age, so that their country would be known as a ‘world city’ according to the article from http://www.chinapost.com.tw/print/264411.htm. This would allow the city to be more connected to the world.

In Singapore, English is being taught by teachers to students since the start of the primary school education. This gives the students the ability to speak fluent English when it comes to the time for them to start work. However, the English in Singapore has evolved. Otherwise known as singlish, it is a mixture of English and some native language slangs.

But in my opinion, English is an art used to communicate with another from a different country or region. Without English, there would not be any system and progress in the nation. I am happy that English is a part of me; allowing me to communicate with my friends from different racial groups and dogma with ease.
