English in my future life

I am studying English at medical academy. I am not bad at it because I studied it at school but I want to know it much better. I understand that it is a very useful subject for me.

Firstly, English is the most widespread language in the world. It’s the language of international communication, the language of business, medicine, science, sport, music, computers and the Internet.

Secondly, if you know English well, it gives you a lot of advantages. You can read all the latest books and articles in the original; you can enjoy foreign films and music. Besides, when you travel in different countries, you can communicate a lot better if you understand people and people understand you. In short, good knowledge of English is a must for a 21st century professional no matter what job they have.

Lastly, knowledge of English will give me a chance to take part in various students’ exchange programmes which will help me in my studies and research.

That is why I am going to do my best to learn it because in the end it will get me a better job, a better salary and more respect from my colleagues.

I hope that if I work hard, I will know English well and will have a successful career.
