and cannot use it well, you may meet lots of difficulties in the modern world More and more people are learning English for several reasons
Firstly, they want to improve their knowledge It is obvious that most of the important sources of information are now in English We can easily find websites, journals, newspapers, and encyclopedias
in English everywhere If we know English well, we can attend quite a lot of online courses or go abroad
to study Many universities in different countries offer courses in English even though it is not their native language
Secondly, it is easier to get a well-paid job if you can use English Most multinational companies require
a certain degree of English proficiency from potential employees Therefore, in order to get a position with a top company, more and more people are learning English Even local companies now require their staff to know English The reason for that is they may have business relationships with companies
