Why do you think the English language is taught in many

countries of the world?

English is globally spoken. It is also called international language. According to

statistics more than one milliard people can speak English as a foreign language or as
mother tongue.

For usual people it is needed to feel freely abroad. It is much more comfortable if you
understand what is written in menus, on signs, in booklets. It also helps if you are lost in
unknown city. However, English is also the language of business. Nearly half of all
business deals in Europe are conducted in English .Each international contract must be
translated in English, so if you don’t speak it you won’t get what conditions are in the
document. It is also used during negotiations. If you want to success in international
company then the ability to speak foreign language is needed. Without it your career
wouldn’t grow up.

I study English at school and it is foreign language for me. But if you know foreign
language you can speak to people from other countries, read foreign authors in the
original, which makes your outlook wider.  English is very popular now. It’s the
language of computers, science, sport and politics. English language is a wonderful
language. It’s the language of the great literature. It’s the language of William
Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and others. It’s the language of computer technology,
language of the future.
