- Since 1991 when Ukraine became a sovereign state,
it has been setting new contacts with many foreign
countries in the world. We can’t and don’t want to
be aside this process. That’s why learning a foreign
language is a matter of necessity. Among many
languages English – the most widespread language in
the world and besides the international computer
language – is the most important. What is more, it is
a very melodic language, a language with a long
history; many traditions of English people are
reflected in their language. The knowledge of the
English language gives one an advantage to find a
good job – either in a private company or in one of
the state institutions or enterprises. Moreover, to
study a foreign language means to learn more about
a country – its culture, history and traditions – and
people – their lifestyles and attitudes. Such interest
in other people’s life usually broads up your mind,
makes you more tolerant to people’s opinion and
helps you to understand people of other culture.
- And just think of the possibility of being able to talk
freely to a foreigner about business, politics, culture,
sport and hobbies!
- The knowledge of the English language gives you the
freedom to express your opinion and to understand
other people both in our country and abroad!
- Post-reading tasks.
- Answer the questions.
- 1. Why is that necessary to study
foreign languages nowadays?
- 2. Why is English the most important
language to learn?
- 3. What advantages does the
knowledge of the English language give?
