First of all I’d like to say that learning foreign languages is especially important nowadays. Some people learn languages because they need them in their work, others travel abroad. Every year many people go to different countries as tourists or to work. They may not understand that countries language, therefore they have to know English, the language of international communication. Scientests, diplomats, politicions have to know English very well, because they need foreign language in their work. So, a modern and a cultural person must learn foreign languages. They are socially demanded, especially at the present time when the progress in science and technology has led to an explosion of knowledge. English language is needed as the main means of information exchange of the people of our planet. Today English is the language of the world. It is the major international language of communication in such areas as science, technology, business and mass entertainment. It is also the major language of diplomacy and the universal language of International aviation, shipping and sports. Half of the world’s scientific literature is written in English. It is the language of literature, education, modern music, international tourism. I’d like to finish by saying that English today is absolutely necessary for every educated person, so if to talk about myself I will study it very atentively in the future too.
