assignment)
     Learning a foreign language is not an easy thing. It is a long and
slow process that takes a lot of time and efforts.
     Nowadays it is especially important to know foreign languages. Some
people learn languages, because they need them for their work, others
travel abroad, for the third studying languages is a hobby. Everyone, who
knows foreign languages can speak to people from other countries, read
foreign authors in the original, which makes your outlook wider. It is not
surprising that many intellectuals and well-educated people are polyglots.
     These days English has become the world’s most important language in
politics, science, trade and cultural relations. Over 300 million people
speak it as a mother tongue. The native speakers of English live in Great
Britain, the United States of America, Australia and New Zealand.
     English is one of the official languages in the Irish Republic,
Canada, the South Africa Republic. English is one of the official languages
of the United Nations Organization and other political organizations. Half
of the world’s scientific literature is in English. It is the language of
computers technology and the Internet. To know English today is absolutely
necessary for every educated person, for every good specialist.
     English language is a wonderful language. It is the language of the
great literature. It is the language of William Shakespeare, Jonathan
Swift, Walter Scott, Charles Dickens.
     The great German poet Goethe once said, “He, who knows no foreign
languages, does not know his own one”. That is why in order to understand
oneself and the environment one has to study foreign languages.
