Learning foreign languages is important nowadays. I think that any educated person must learn foreign languages. But I prefer English to other foreign languages. Why? English is becoming a global language. A half of billion people in the world use English at home or work. English is the language which is known for the most part of our fine, magnificent and surprising world. English is so widespread that it has become the standard language for all kinds of international communication.
A lot of problems of the 21st century, such as the problems of war and peace, ecology, can not be solved without speaking the same language.
The English language is now the first language of about 350 million people, the native language of 12 nations and the official language of more than 33 nations. It means that one of seven people in the world speaks English.
English is also the international language of businesspeople, pilots and air traffic controllers, sportsmen, scientists and students. If you want to be a stewardess, a pilot or an air control officer you have to learn English, the language of international communication. Every year thousands of people from Russia go to different countries as tourists or to work. They can’t go without knowing the language of the country they are going to. A modern engineer or even a worker cannot work with an imported instrument or a machine if he is not able to read the instruction how to do that.
Some people learn English because they need it in their work; others to travel aboard and for lots of people learning English is just a hobby.
I have been learning English since the age of 11. I like learning English very much. But I like and know well my native language, Russian. The great German poet Goethe once said: “He, who knows no foreign language, does not know his own one.” I agree with him. The knowledge of English helps me to learn Russian.
The knowledge of English is a great power. I need to know English. I must appreciate and embrace this knowledge as the key to achievement of my dream. I hope my progress in English will be very good.
My favorite movie The second volume of the book series of Harry Potter has a special meaning for me, as it was with him began my acquaintance with the world of wizards and Muggles. This was back in school, when we had a collective campaign to just come out of the film based on the book. I liked the movie, but I especially do not understand what the Sinister Volan de Mort, who terrorizes the boy in glasses. It took almost five years before I picked up the novel source, it is expected to have exerted much better impression than the movie (even allowing for the nostalgic plaque, which already covered the film viewing.) In contrast to the Philosopher's Stone, which is still more like a children's adventure tale of a laid-back, "Chamber of Secrets" focuses toward the mysteries and secrets. Indeed, in the book are many intriguing questions - starting with the opening scene from the house elf Dobby and completing the question, who was still a student Tom Riddle's diary which came to Harry.
Many children think that recycling paper is a waste of time. But it isn`t correct. It is a fact that less energy is needed to make new paper from recycled paper and less materials is used. When a lot of pepople recycle their paper, a lot of trees are saved and the forest and its wildlife are protected. Because when forests is cut, fewer animals have homes. Every year an area of rainforest the size of Wales is cut down and a lot of animals are disappeared. Besides, it is necessary to understand that when the rainforest is destroyed, it causes global warming. It`s good when children are taught about the enviroment from a young age. Then they understand that everyone can make a difference to their community, their town and the world.
