The English Language

After reading the articles , i realised the importance of making english the 'international' language . In Singapore , the goverment places great emphasise on Singapore student's standard of english. But thats not the case for other countries like China as english is not their first language therefore the english standards of people there will be inferior when compared to us.

We are now moving on to an era where you cant survive without speaking the english language . From an economic point of view , businessman from different countries have to communicate with each other and this is where the english language comes into play. When speaking a common language , both parties are able to understand what the other party is trying to convey. Imagine this , when two businessmen of different nationality speak their own language , this may cause confusion and instructions misunderstood. Therefore , to avoid this , countries which english are not their first language have to educate their citizens and make them take up the language .
