Humans are social creatures which are created by God. To communicate with other people, we need something, named language. Every country has their own language. Even some countries have more one language. For examples in Singapore. Singaporeans use Malay and English language. We can see our country, Indonesia too. Indonesia has thousands of languages in every territory. Many languages exist in this world. So, we need universal language that can be used in many countries. If there is no universal language, we can’t communicate with other people in other countries.
English is a language commonly used in many countries. It’s important to learn English. Why? First by using English, we can get easy access to knowledge.
