The Necessity Of English For Me

by Mizuki

English is necessary for me because I am planning to travel around  the world in the future. If I can speak English well, I can easily communicate with many people from all over the world without a language varrier. Many people studying English to communicate and break down the language varrier. Actually, I am also in this situation. The language varrier makes me uncomfortable, so I think I have to study English more to become a more fluent speaker. If I can speak English, I can talk with people from other countries about many things, such as food, fashion, their cultures, politics and others, and speaking English lets me look at things from different viewpoints.  It will broaden my horizons and help me to be a more global citizens. In short, English is necessary for me to go abroad and develop as a person.

Why I Need Languages

Kanna
There are three important reasons why I need languages. First, I want to study English, Korean, and Chinese. I especially want to speak English and Korean. I like these two country’s cultures, such as their music and movies. I want to understand what they say and what they think. I really enjoy studying with TV programs, movies, and music because these are also my hobbies! I watch English movies with English subtitles, but my Korean skill is not good yet, so I watch Korean movies or videos with English subtitles, not Japanese. This is a very good way to improve my language skills!

Second, I think I cannot be a global citizen only speaking Japanese in the future. The Japanese economic condition has not been good lately and the population of elderly people has increased, so we have to become more global. Almost all Japanese people, even people who work for major corporations cannot speak English fluently. Globalization is progressing in many areas of society and I need to adapt. I have studied English since I was 10 years old, but I cannot speak English well yet. I really feel It is very hard to study languages, but I will do my best!

Third, I like to travel abroad, and I want to talk with local people. English is a very useful language because there are many people to speak English with all over the world. If I can speak English more, I have more choices. For example, there are a lot of articles and websites written by English on internet, so I  could get more informations and knowledges. Also, many tourists come to Japan. The number of foreign visitors to Japan in 2019 was over 31 million and this number is increasing every year. I want to help these people to understand Japan better by using English with them.

In conclusion, these my three important reasons for studying languages are that I can understand the cultures of other countries and I can improve Japanese economic condition and I can travel abroad and help people understand Japan better. Therefore,
It's really good for me to be able to speak other languages. That is why I need languages.

Why I Need Other Languages

by Sayaka 

There are three reasons.  Why it is necessary for me to study other languages, in particular, English and Chinese. First, English and Chinese are the most global languages. It is because there are approximately 1.5 billion people who speak English, including second-language speakers. Also, approximately 1.3 billion people speak Chinese as an official language.

Second, it is necessary for me to speak English for my job in the future, so I need to improve my English language skills. Now, I’m studying English and Chinese. When I was a junior high school student, I started to study English, but I’m not good at English yet, so I’m studying hard to become fluent. Also, I want to speak Chinese fluently because speaking Chinese is an advantage when finding a job, but it is a little difficult for me to study Chinese pronunciation. Third, I want to go to more countries. For example, I would like to travel to Europe because I have never been there. Also, I want to communicate with people from other countries smoothly. When I was a high school student, I went to Singapore on a school trip. When I was in Singapore, I was surprised that Singaporeans speak a lot of languages. For example, they speak English, Chinese, Malay, and Tamil. I wanted to speak their languages. For these reasons, I think I need to study other languages in order to communicate and connect with a lot of people around the world.

    Because most Japanese students study English at school and we  have to learn second language like this in Japan. There are three reasons why English is very important to me. First, we can  communicate with people from other countries by using English and  I want to do that. When I was a child, I thought people who could speak English were very cool and  I respected them. I started to go to an English cram school once a week when I was an elementary school student. Since then, I have been interested in English. However, I wasn't good at studying English in high school. It was difficult for me because there was a lot of grammars. I felt little depressed, but I tried hard, and I got good grades, so I was happy. I realized I wanted to study English more.
Second, English is a global language. We have to communicate by using English if we go abroad. For example, if we go to restaurant in China, we have to order the menu in English. In addition, the number of foreign tourists who visit Japan is increasing every year. If I have an opportunity, I want to talk with them. If for example, I get the jos at hotel, I'll be able to speak too more foreign tourist. Finally, I want to use English at work. I haven't decidedwhat I want to do in the future, but I want to make good use of English at my jobs.  I am going to take advantage of study in the U.S, and improve my English, so I can get good jobs and use English later. In conclusion, larning English is useful for me in my goals.

Why I Need English

     Now, there are about 1.5 billion English speakers in the world and it is increasing every year which means that 21% of the world population speaks English, so there are four reasons why I think it is important to learn English. First, if I can speak English, I will be able to talk with people from other countries, such as people from China or America. Then, I will be able to make a lot of friends. Recently, tourists from other countries are increasing in Japan, and many of them can not speak Japanese, so it is better to be able to speak English. If I can speak and understand only Japanese, I can't understand people from other countries. Also, Tokyo Olympics will be held in 2020. If I don't understand English, I can't help people who are coming to take part in the Tokyo Olympics. Second, if I can speak English, I can work outside Japan. I want to work at an airport in the other country for Japan airlines. Also, connecting with people from other countries in English would help to raise the  profile of any company that I workesd for. Finally, if I learn English, I will be able to learn about other countries. There are a lot of countries I have never been to, so learning English provide me with a good opportunity to broad my horizon s. In conclusion, learning English is very useful in the future.

Learning other languages has three benefits.  First, I can use the languages for my job.  For example, If I worked for trading company, I may be asked to negotiate with a foreign company.  I don't know that the specific company I want to work for, but I want to work at Japanese trading company.  I know many good points of trading company.  I can talk with people who have various occupations, and learn what the country wants then.  Moreover,  I can improve my career at work because the person who can speak other languages are very powerful for the company, so the managers of the company will acknowledge me.  Secondly, I can make friends with people from many other countries.  If I have friends from other countries, I can learn about what is good and bad in those countries, and explain to my friends what is good and bad in Japan.  And also if I travel a country where my friend is living, I may be able to stay her or his house for free. And then She or he will guide me to her or his favorite places.  I can enjoy more by making friends and speaking different languages.  Thirdly, I become diplomatic and be liked by people.  To learn other languages is experiencing new cultures.  The new culture excites me, so I can talk to different people.  And then I can be sociable and get along with all kinds of people.  This is a wonderful cycle.

 English is very important for me for three reasons to communicate with people from other countries. First, English is used all over the world, not only in America.

Why I Need English

Studying English is very useful for me for three reasons. First, knowing English means knowing Japan. The biggest advantage of studying English is that it gives me a way to view Japan objectively. For example, how is Japan reported overseas or,  when overseas news report about Japan, what kind of nuances are there. If I speak only Japanese, it is difficult to get different perspectives, so I may assume my ideas are correct because they are never challenged by other ideas. That leads to a prejudiced way of thinking. Second, I can get to know another culture. For instance, I can communicate cross-culturaly and deepen my understanding. By enriching my view of the world and touching on new ways of thinking, I can learn about things I didn't know before. Being able to use another language changes your perception of different cultures. It is important to use language and talk to people to understand different cultures. Different languages build different worldviews, because each language has a slightly different perspective on things. Third, English is the most global language since it is used internationaly by different groups, such  as medicine, IT, economy, sport, art, and many other areas. No matter where you go or what you are intersted in English is the most useful source of information. In addition, English in business is a tool. English is indispensable both for obtaining and transmitting information. For these reasons, I think studying English is valuable for me.

I need to study English for two reasons.  First, I want to talk a lot of people from different countries, so English is necessary because it is a global language. Also, I think it is easier to express my feelings in English than in Japanese because English has many expressions that express emotions.  In addition, I feel sad when I meet people who speak other languages and I can't speak their language with them.  I have a lot of opportunity to talk with many Americans at MFWI,  but I disappointed that I couldn't speak English well, so I wanted to learn more English and speak English better.  Second, I want to be an international airline's ground staff.  International airline are used by customers from many countries, so English skill is essential.  The reason why I want to be an airport ground staff is because when I was checking in for an international flight on my first overseas trip, the Japanese ground staff responded to foreign customers in fluent English.  It was very cool to see what she was doing, so I wanted to get her job.  Therefor, studying English very hard and improving my English skills is an important goal for me.  For these reasons, studying English is very important and necessary for me.
