ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN TODAY’S ERA
(Afreen Fatima Jaffery, Karachi)
Language is the source of
communication and communication is the tool for interacting with people in
everyday life. It is the means for perception. English language may be a foreign
language but it is international because of its significance. This is the most
common language in most parts of the worlds and keeps us connected with the
whole universe.
The importance of English language nowadays cannot be ignored. Either we go to
Europe, Asia, Africa, America, Australia or North or South poles we will
definitely find someone who knows English. This has also become a language of
media. Our official language is also English. In 1985 it was only in private
schools now more efforts are being made for the progress of this language in our
country.
Scope of English is also very large. We can see that nowadays almost every field
demands English. Companies welcome those candidates who are fluent in it and
possess a relevant qualification and skill set. However candidates who possess
relevant qualification but are without proper language of English are rejected.
A person has to be fluent in it and must know all the rules and regulations
regarding this language.
English is a great trigger for increasing the self esteem of a person. A person
who speaks English fluently is usually more confident as compared to the person
who speaks it improperly.
In order to learn this language one has to get totally absorbed into it. Hanging
out with people who speak English and also by watching English movies increases
the vocabulary power. Thus this language plays a vital role in enhancing the
overall personality of a person.
