Written task 1
A speech from an English Businessman, Michael Grospberry, who is a well known sociologist answering some questions that people from Latin schools asked about the introduction of English taught as a second language in every school at Latin America.
What is the importance of knowing English?
English is the second language most frequently spoken around the world after mandarin, this is considered a lingua franca because people that don’t have it as a native language speak this language around the world, travelers apply English as a language while they are out of their country in places where the native speakers do not speak this language, but there are always people who understand and could talk English.
It’s a very useful language for several purposes; it is applied in business, science, banks, technology, medicine and tourism. Also we could emphasize on the music around the world that most of it is in English and the most famous musicians as the Beatles or Michael Jackson. As well the most famous writers wrote in this language, such as George Orwell.
Is one of the most important languages you could study, only by saying that English is spoken nearly by 2 billion people you could notice the importance it has. As we have said there are several areas that English is needed, in tourism, the principal destinations are English speaking countries such United States or Britain.
English books are prove to be more complete and easy to understand, the example is that for the international baccalaureate, students take the exams in Spanish, and use English books as chemistry and biology.
Internet is another reason, almost all the web pages are in English and there is useful information that you would not understand if you don’t know English.
Business is another example of the importance of English, for example, a meat processing plant of Uruguay creating business with Japanese that want to buy this product they need to understand each other for
