  English happens to be the first language widely spoken by people all over the world, which makes people think that every person should learn English. Although not every country has English as its official language, I believe it will happen in the future.
       In my opinion, everybody should learn English nowadays, and the earlier a child starts learning English, the faster he will master it. To begin with, knowing English is good when you travel or if you need to show the way to the person who does not need your first language. What is more, English opens lots of career prospects.
       On the other hand, some people think that learning English is a useless thing to do because it will hardly affect your career if you work in a country where English is not widely spoken.
      However, I disagree with this opinion. You can get education in another country and it will increase prospects of your career. That is why, in my opinion, a child should learn English from an early age and get his education abroad.
      To sum up, I think English should be learned by a child from an early age because it is the key to success in person's life, which helps the person both with career and makes the communication circle a lot bigger.

While I was walking across the campus the other day, I met my old friend Bill, whom I hadn't seen since May. Naturally, we stopped to talk to each other for a few minutes. I asked him how was doing in his classes that semester. He told me that he had taken a course in English that semester. He said that he had completed the elementary course two semesters before, and by the next semester he would be ready to take the most difficult English course offered at this school. He also said that he was interested in getting his degree as soon as possible and he had already asked his adviser for permission to take the final examination. "I am glad to hear that you are making such good progress", I said to Bill. Then I asked him if he could tell me the secret of his success. He answered that the secret of his success was simple and he studied at least two hours a day to improve his English.
After that I told Bill I had a little difficulty with my course in French at the moment. I asid that I hadn't studied very hard the last semester, but I would work harder in the future.
