Why is writing in English important to me?

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.

  3. Chun Ho,

    You have correctly highlighted the advantages of being able to understand and communicate in English, and how you enjoy learning English. However, you must remember the task at hand. This is meant to be a reflection of your learning journey. So, it would be essential for you to describe the importance of English and reflect on your experiences and feelings toward your learning journey, as well as what you have learned from past mistakes. As is, your writing lacks your reflection.
    Language: You are able to clearly express your ideas. Please note a couple of minor errors.


    1. Avoid gender biased language:
    English is one of the most common languages which businessmen


    2. What are you trying to highlight with the words ‘understand’ and ‘comprehend’?
    With the good ability to understand and comprehend the language,


    3. Can you explain why ‘enjoying’ is the incorrect word form? Meaning is correct but form is incorrect.
    Furthermore, it would be satisfying and enjoying for me to communicate with people from different counties.

    1. It should be 'enjoyable' instead of 'enjoying'. Enjoying is not an adjective.
