An International Language

English has become an important international language.

First, it is important in international communication. For example, airline pilots speak in English to communicate with other workers in the airplane or ground when they drive an international airplane. Otherwise, there must be serious accidents. For another example, world wide TV news or international newspapers are released in English so you can get more information if you can speak in English.

Second, English is important in business and trade. English is widely used in international business. Recently, English has become more important as the globalization has been fueled rapidly and the international economic organization such as World bank or the Common Market has been made to contribute to growth and control of the international business. Also owing to the increasing chances of international business such as trade negotiations or international currency exchange, the importance of English is creasing together.

Finally, English is important in international relations. If you want to work for Organization of American States, UN or World Court, excellent English skill is inevitable. Also when countries are concluding international treaties or diplomatic arrangements, English is used for official language. If the officials aren't good at English, the country can get worse results than they expect.

Nowadays, English is the key to success in some aspects. Whatever we do, we have to get the English skill in addition to our own field.
