Title The Importance of English Language

Thesis I personally think that English is the most important language. Why do
I say that?
Arguments First, it is an international language. It is spoken by many people all
over the world, either as a first language or second language.
Secondly, English is also the key which opens doors to scientific and
technical knowledge, which is needed for the economic and political
development of many countries in the world.
Thirdly, English is a top requirement of those seeking jobs. Applicants
who master either active or passive English are more favourable than those
who don’t.
Reiteration From the fact above, it is obvious that everybody needs to learn
English to greet the global era.
