In recent years, English is more and more popular in the world. It attracts
people due to the interestingness in its tune and structure. However, beside
the tune and the structure, this language is learned and studied by a higher
number of people with every passing day because of its two importances
in this modern world: a mean to communicate and to create a greater
opportunity for a job.
Those who are still unaware about the importance of English. They
should start learning English as a time will come when everything would

ENGLISH IN EDUCATION
I believe the purpose of education is to better a persons life through
knowledge and assist them later in life. Education is a vital part of
anyone's life. Without it a person could not get a job and make it in
the real life. I believe however that teachers must keep in mind that
one's education is up to the individual student. A teacher should
support the student, as well as the student supporting the teacher. If
a student feels that a specific assignment or subject is unneeded
then it should be reviewed. If it is vital the teacher should simply
explain why the assignment in necessary, and the student will then
have the desire to do the task at hand. Education is a vital part of my
life. I believe that I have the materials to go far in life but without the
knowledge base that is given in a learning atmosphere such as
school, this will not be possible. I would however like to be given the
choice of what to learn instead of being forced to do certain
activities. Young people today do not like to read. Why is this? I
believe is it because all their lives books and school have been
shoved down their throat by teachers and professors who do not
care about the student's desires and opinions.
My personal feelings on the English language are stated above. I feel that
there are not enough words in the language and therefor people of different
cultures have language differences as well as differences in the way they
think. I believe many English teachers are forced to presaent the curriculem in
a repetitious tedious manner. I believe that there is too much emphasis put on
writing and grammar and not enough on oral presentation and giving
students the skills they will need later on in life. The ability to stand in front of
someone and present one's feelings or opinions is a necessary ability for one to
have. If a student can explain in detail orally what they have learned without
writing it in a formal paper, that should be just as sufficient. As I said before, I
believe its not the way a person states something that is important, but what is
being stated.
Regardless of this short bashing of mine, I do not want you to feel this is my
perception of you. This is my past experiences with English teachers and the
way they presented themselves and the material to the class. In no way do I
feel bias to your thoughts or ideas. I look forward to many interesting
conversations and debates in your class. I realize that my desires are not
realistic and formal papers must be written in order for a teacher to be able to
evaluate each student in an organized and timely manner.
