Today English is considered a global language or lingua franca. It is said that if you do not know English and cannot use it well, you may meet lots of difficulties in the modern world. More and more people are learning English for several reasons.
Firstly, they want to improve their knowledge. It Is obvious that most of the important sources of information are now in English. We can easily find websites, journals, newspapers, and encyclopedias in English everywhere. If we know English well, we can attend quite a lot of online courses or go abroad to study. Many universities in different countries offer courses in English even though it is not their native language.
Secondly, it is easier to get a well-paid job if you can use English. Most multinational companies require a certain degree of English proficiency from potential employees. Therefore, in order to get a position with a top company, more and more people are learning English. Even local companies now require their staff to know English. The reason for that is they may have business relationships with companies in other countries which use English as their working language.
These two reasons are the most common ones explaining why people like to,and need to, study English.

■Ups to learn English well are not complicated. Firstly, I usually read stories and books in English.
t Beading them helps me widen my vocabulary and understand the context where words are used.This \ ¡way I can remember vocabulary longer and know how to use the words correctly. Secondly, to practise \ English grammar, I do lots of exercises from different grammar books. I find Grammar in Use and Active \ Grammar useful because they explain grammar thoroughly, and provide learners with various types of V exercise. Thirdly, I take every opportunity to speak and write English because these are my weak points. \
IVejoined an international project which connects students from all overthe world. I've madefriends with l four students from the USA, Australia, France, and Egypt. We write each other emails and chat on Skype. 1 That way I can not only improve my English skills but also enrich my knowledge of different cultures. My last tip is to be self-confident. Don't be afraid of making mistakes in the process of learning. In class, you ¡jjfeould take part in the activities actively. If there are any things you don't understand, ask your teacher and classmates for help. These tips have helped me to become a successful English learner.
