is english considered as a universal language?
Introduction
English is considered as a universal language because it is well known and speak by over 7.8 billion people. It is also well known as the most easiet language to use while communicate. Even at foreign country, foreigners used English to communicate with other foreigners.Other than that, english is also use in entertainment programmes. For instance, comedy, acting and variety shows.
By learning english, it makes me much more confident as i could speak english very well infront of everyone. Besides talking with less grammatical error, foreign people could also understand what i am trying to tell them. In my very own opinion, i do think that english is one of the simplest and easiet language to learn. It took you around 1 to 2 months to atleast learn the basic grammar, preposition and nouns. Why I think english is important because, when we were going to other country, we are pretty much not know in what language do they speak so the best language to use before knowing their language is by speaking in english that is because english speakers.
IDEAS
1) English is used as a travelling language
As we all know that travelling is an activity that we usually do when we have leasure time or money to spend and create great bond with our family members. Have you ever went to their country and not understanding what they were talking about? If yes, that means that their first language is definetly not english. Therefore, when we went travelling to other country it is necessary for us to atleast know few words from their language. This is because not all people know how to talk in english. By learning few words, it will make it easier for them and give us benefits in terms of reading signboards or maybe ask for directions.
2) Used for bussiness dealing internationally
when dealing something with other country, for sure we would not use their language as it will took us around 2 to 3 years to speak fluently and understand 100% what they were talking about. Hence, the only solution that can be made is by understanding 1 language all together. Since english is the easiet as simplest language to learn, all country has agreed to use english as a bussiness language. This would also make the bussiness process much shorter and went smoothly. In other hand, english can be understand by all nation from all around the world which make it the most suitable language that should be use in this kind of important bussiness.
3) education purposes
when speaking about education, we can imagine studying abroad to a well known university such as unversity of Harvard.Have you ever study the do's and don'ts before going somewhere to make sure you did not break any of the culture or society's rule. Same concept applies to education in engligh. It is as important as learning common sense. For example here in Malaysia, there is a programme called DLP programme where the DLP stands for Dual Language Programme. Meaning that, those who take this programme will be learning some subjects in English such as mathematics and science. The benefits of learning these two subjects in english is that if one day the got offered to a university in europe they could atleast know few words or terms that is used in those subject this also could prevent them from feeling shock of hearing those unfamiliar names and terms.
