ENGLISH LANGUAGE: KEY TO GLOBAL ACCESS


ENGLISH LANGUAGE; KEY TO GLOBAL ACCESS

English is one of the most important languages in the world. It can even be said to be the single most important language. Though other languages are important too, but not for the same reasons as English is. Why? Maybe because it is the only language that truly links the whole world together. If not for English, we may not be as united as it is today.

Modern English is the most dominant and  required international language of communications, science, information technology, business, aviation, entertainment, radio and diplomacy. The growing economic and cultural influence of the United States and its status as a global superpower since World War II have significantly accelerated the language’s spread all across the planet.

A working knowledge of English has become a requirement in a number of fields, occupations and professions such as medicine and computing; as a consequence over a billion people speak English to at least a basic level. Though these people might not have the same accent as others, the language at least will be understandable.

There are various reasons for the importance of English language. One of which is when we travel to other parts of the world either for business or personal reasons, without the knowledge of the English language we cannot be understood. English language helps to deal with any situation for it is considered as the universal language.

Now a call is made to each and everyone to learn and practice the English language better. By doing so we can face the world with our head up high and say, I am a Filipino; I have the access to the entire globe.

Motherless boys

             As I was taking a rest from my very tiring work one afternoon, two kids came to me and greeted me, "hi Teacher!"  I told them, "oh! I am taking a rest boys, why are you here?"  They both said, "we just dropped by Teacher to say hi!" "So what are you doing?" one boy asked?  "I am writing the grades on the report card."  I asked them, "so what about you both, did you pass for the next grade?"  One boy said. "only him," pointing the other boy, "but I didn't."  "Oh, I see, you were always absent in the class that is why.  May I ask why you were always absent?"  "Teacher, my aunt always tells me to be absent. Whenever I dress up for school, she would tell me to look after the internet cafe because no one will watch it.

Go to anywhere in the world and speak different language beside their own an...
