A Skill Everyone Needs

A very important skill that everyone needs in order to be successful in world today is to be able to know English. One of the most important languages in the world is English. English is the American language, and since everyone wants to come to America to have a better life they have to know English. English is a very easy language to learn but to know how to speak it well is the problem.

People have to know how to speak, read, and understand English to have a good job here in America. If you can't get a job because you don't know English you can't be successful in life. How can you work here in America if your not going to be able to understand or speak English because almost everyone in America knows English. For example you could be working in a restaurant and somebody asks you where the washroom is at and you don't understand them how are you going to respond back and tell the person where the washroom is at.

You have to know English to study in America too. Teachers in America teach in English, and if you don't know English how are you going to learn and understand. They give you your books written in the language English, not in Spanish. If you don't know English you can’t study here to get a career or to prepare a good future that is in front you. Not only immigrants are the ones who have to study, even citizens because there are citizens that are born here and don't know English but there parent’s or family's language. For example there could be one day that the teacher tells you to study because you are going to have a test the next day. How can you study if you don't understand English that well, or at all.

You can teach your children or even grandchildren English, so they won't have to through what you went. Everyone wants the best or better future for there love ones. If you know English you don't even have to send your children to learn because just by speaking it since they were born the kid will have that language in his mind. Sometimes is good to know 2 languages, but especially English. If you know 2 languages is like being worth double than what you are. Knowing English will help a lot especially because almost everything that is important on the world has English on it, even the most important persons know English.

One thing is to know English and another is to learn how to speak it right and well. people like when a person speaks there language well. I don't mean like speak well that it sounds the correct way but to use it in a good way. Like many people curse in English and that is affecting our language. English it's kind of losing its respect in that way and its real meaning, because there are people who change the words and its meanings. So a skill everyone needs is to be able to know English right or speak it right.
