It is important for me to understand the information available to me. To me, being able to communicate and deliver messages to other people is vital. Although English is neither my first nor second language, it is the common language in Singapore. Moreover, it is the most common spoken language in the world. There are many huge benefits if I have good English communication skills.
Firstly, English is one of the most common languages which professionals use in Singapore. I believe that it would be easier for me to find a job which requires communication skills. In addition, the career path could be smoother as there would be lesser possibilities of causing conflicts due to the lack of English proficiency. For instance, communicating with people from other countries may be a routine task for company managers.
Secondly, some valuable knowledge could only be found in English texts. With the good ability to understand the language, I could further explore into many different English media. This allows me to study from research reports and articles related to engineering, finance and sports. For instance, I could learn accounting skills from English writings which are not available in other languages.
All in all, I think that learning English is essential to me. By learning good English, I could avoid many unnecessary obstacles and apply for jobs which emphasis in English communication skills. In addition, I can learn from a variety of English texts. Furthermore, it would be satisfying for me to communicate with people from different counties. Therefore, English is a language which I would love to spend time to learn and practice.
