Know a lot of languages - to have a lot of keys to one lock. Voltaire There is no doubt that English is becoming more popular. We want to get a good job - you need English. If we want to communicate with people from other countries, or simply to maintain a business relationship - again, no English is necessary. That is, the study of English in our time is a necessity. But there are those who learn the language, because I just like it.

 I’ve been studying English since I was eight. Nobody made me, it was my decision. Now I know English pretty well. I have a lot of friends from different countries and I began to learn English to talk to them easily. I like to read very much and I would like to read some classical works of English authors in the original. It is interesting and absorbing reading. Reading English books I improve my memory and my pronunciation of English words becomes better. Pupils who speak English well have more opportunities to enter prestigious university. I want to achieve much in my life and that’s why English is necessary for me. I like travelling and when I grow up I want to visit many countries. English is considered one of the international languages

Also I think English is very beautiful and melodic language, plus all this still dynamic. Such a wonderful group of world-renowned Beatles : or a great singer Madonna and her rhythmic motifs, like a waterfall : `Happiness lies in your own hand It took me much too long to understand How it could be Until you shared your secret with me…`
