Nowadays, many people underestimate the benefits of learning English. They think that English is as other languages it can be used in only English speaker countries. However, they are wrong because in my assumption English is the first language in the world because we can conversate with others with the common language and this language is English. The recent research shows that almost half the population of the world use this language and knowing the language gives us the benefit of knowing each other and also being more friendly to other people. Through the conversation, we can bear with other cultures or the language. First of all, we can easily find friends through knowing the language because without language we cannot feel fully comfortable and open to the other person. For instance, previously I had one friend and she couldn’t speak in English, however I speak in English and we cannot speak easily. After learning English, she started to be more open with me and it gives us the benefit of being on the one label. The main benefit of knowing English is that it is more confident and open to the world for opportunities. Also, knowing English can enhance your professionalism and knowledge for the world.

Nowadays, many people underestimate the benefits of learning English. They think that English is like other languages and can only be used in English-speaking countries. However, they are wrong because, in my opinion, English is the first global language. We can converse with others using a common language, and that language is English. Recent research shows that almost half the population of the world uses this language, and knowing it allows us to connect with each other and be more friendly to others. Through conversation, we can engage with other cultures and languages. First of all, we can easily make friends by knowing the language because, without it, we cannot feel fully comfortable and open with the other person. For instance, I previously had a friend who couldn't speak English, while I could. We struggled to communicate easily. After she started learning English, she became more open with me, and it allowed us to connect better. The main benefit of knowing English is that it boosts confidence and opens up opportunities in the world. Additionally, knowing English can enhance your professionalism and knowledge globally.
