English in My Life

English means much in my life. I think that it means much not only for me. Many people in our country are interested in English. They learn and love it and they think the same way as I do. English enters to our everyday life. When we buy TV-sets and telephones we can get instruction and names written in English.

Knowledge of different languages makes the “universe” of a person almost unlimited. In many respects, it is a perfect way of keeping up with the ever-changing world, since all the progress in technology, business, arts, medicine and education is mirrored in English, the most widespread international language.

This is the main reason why I learn this language.

Besides, it is also music that makes me study the English language. When I listen to songs, lyrics are as important for me as the music itself. It has already become my hobby to make out words in British and American songs. While listening to different songs I learn a great number of English words, idioms and useful expressions; get to know different people`s stories about love, friendship, art and nature. Thus, I face different cultures, national peculiarities, social ideas and historic facts. Such activity broadens my cultural horizons.
