Importance of English

It is no doubt that the importance of English is extremely huge in this world. This is evident as this is the reason that I am here now in Singapore. The reason why I am here is to learn English to be a global person who can communicate in a common language to learn about their many cultures and differences. Moreover, the influence of English is extremely huge in any daily activities that we do such as watching movies or even buying things in the supermarket we have to use or understand English to carry out these activities. In South Korea, they are also stepping up in their quest to improve in the English language. They are starting with elementary students and making them study English until university. However, they are only learning grammar and not learning how to communicate with foreigners. Thus, I feel that if South Korea wants to be a global leader it must step up its efforts in making its people learn English so that they will be able to communicate with other people from other parts of the world.
