English is the most popular language in the world. There are 300 million native speakers. It’s the native language of such countries as Great Britain, the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. There are 300 million people who use English as a second language and a further 100 million use it as a foreign language. I think English is so popular because it is very important in different parts of our life. It is the language of science, aviation, sales, computing, diplomacy, and tourism. Millions of people nowadays go to language schools and learn English. I learn English, because I understand that I can use it. I like to travel so when I go to another country I'll be able to speak English with other people. I can ask the way if I am lost, I can order food in a restaurant or I can make friends with foreigners. I also can read foreign magazines and newspapers in the original. If I know English well, I'll be able to go to the library and take books by English and American writers in the original. Now we buy many clothes from other countries. If you know English well, you can read something about the size of this or that thing. English also helps to communicate with children from other countries on the Internet. If you learn English you will have a better chance of getting a job that pays more in your future.
