     Why learn English?
Because English is the most important international language in the world.Some facts prove that:English is the international language of air and sea travels,of computing,of pop music,of politics,of Science and medicine,sports,TV and films.
     The word today  is a very small place.Communication and travel are extremelly quick:think of jet planes,satellite TV,telephones,telex and fax the internet,for example.
      Because of this,we need a common language,and this language is English.
      English is the first language in:
Australia,The Bahamas, Canada, Ireland, Guyana, New Zealand The United Kingdom,The United States.
      And it is the official second language in many other countries such as: India, Nigeria, South Africa,Israel...
      English is slowly becoming more than one language,because in every country it is spoken there are diferences in some vocabulary words,in some gramatical structures.
