The future of English Language in my life
We live in a global world where people can communicate across the oceans and everything is
interconnected. Our country is not an exception. Ukraine has been integrating into the European
Union for years. And if Ukrainians really want to become a part of a modern civilized world, we
have to learn English. However, we can rarely meet English-speaking foreigners in the streets and
an English language is almost absent in the Ukrainian mass-media. But I suppose it is a temporary
problem and I understand the importance of English language in my life.
First of all, English language is an essential part of studying at the university. As a future student, I
realize the importance of knowledge of one of the foreign languages. Writing of course works or
diploma works nowadays needs using of original English texts. I have to know English if I want to
continue studying at a magistracy and get a Master’s degree. Besides, a lot of Ukrainian universities
have different contacts with European educational and science establishments. A large number of
our students use these contacts and go to Europe for further education or working. Generally
speaking, students who know English better also will be more preferred to students who know
English worse.
Secondly, a good knowledge of English gives me a nice chance to make a career . More and more
Ukrainian companies cooperate with European or American firms nowadays. As a result of this
process more and more employers require the profound knowledge of English from employees.
Speaking English fluently can also help me to earn some money in a case of temporary
unemployment. For example, I can arrange small excursions for foreigners who don’t know
Ukrainian language or engage in tutoring with teenagers.
Moreover, I need to learn English in order to develop my mental skills and broaden my outlook.
With the help of English language I will be able to watch original films, read authentic texts, listen
and understand the words of English or American songs. It is much better than using translated
compositions which have distorted meaning. Besides, a lot of interesting important works especially
in science have not any translations into Ukrainian or Russian languages.
To conclude, it is well known that English connects people around the Earth and I hope to find
some pen-friends all over the world. I am sure that English is a very important part of my life and I
will try to do my best in mastering English.
