For many years English has been seen as a
barrier. Many people thought it was difficult to learn this language and they did not
consider it important in their lives. But the process of globalization, the new
technologies, the world of information and the entertainment have urged
people to learn English as a second language and to get involved in its culture.
According to an article (taken from http://cedsgt.com/teamblog/education/4-good-reasons-to-make-english-your-second-language/ ) there are four reasons why people
should learn English: scope, communication, availability and
simplicity. Most of the information in internet is in English, it is the second
language spoken in the world, you can practice it everywhere and it has clear
grammar patterns compared with other languages. If you think about this you will
start learning English now.
Although in a country like Colombia there
are many factors that can hamper this process, we can make our
students think differently and show them the great opportunities English can
give them. I have met many people who have
traveled abroad to get an excellent job, better payment and a new life. English
can also be the key to find new friends anywhere, as well as it is the best way
to feel more connected with the world because most of the information is in
English. In fact, in this moment it is necessary to pass an English exam to
get graduated from most universities.
