Why Should I Learn English?

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
Mahatma Gandhi
Task 1. Read the following text and translate with your own language.
1. English is one of the most widely spoken languages
Although it comes second to Mandarin in the total number of speakers, English is the
language youll be able to use most widely, as its spoken in more countries than any other
language. That means that English is the language that will give you the best return for your
efforts; after all, intellectual challenge aside, theres little point putting a huge amount of time
and effort into learning a language that youll hardly ever have the opportunity to use.
As well as the UK, a whopping 60 of the worlds 196 countries have English as their official
language: the USA, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, to name but a few. Its the language of
diplomacy and the official language of the European Union, the United Nations, NATO and
the European Free Trade Association, not to mention many Commonwealth countries.
Whats more, English is the commonly adopted second language of people in a great many
more countries, including Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Holland. In total,
around 1.5 billion people speak English worldwide and another billion are in the process of
learning it. Will you make this number even bigger by learning it yourself?

2. English will open up more opportunities for you

Even in countries where English is not an official language, it is often used as a lingua
franca.
Being able to speak English allows you to communicate effectively in numerous countries,
and this opens up lots of possibilities for you in terms of the countries you could choose to
seek work in one day not to mention travel to as a tourist. You wont have to worry about
getting lost when you travel to an English-speaking country, as youll easily be able to ask
for directions, and taking guided tours, ordering food and chatting to the locals will no
longer be a source of stress.
Whats more, careers that involve lots of travel or international exposure, such as the
airline, tourism and film industries, use English as their official language, and many
employers in these sectors are likely to require evidence of a certain level of proficiency in
English before they will consider employing you. This means that if you can speak
English, youll find that you have a greater number of possible careers to choose from after
you finish at university.
3. English will make you more desirable to employers
Being fluent in a second language clearly demonstrates a powerful brain and reflects
someone who has put in the huge amount of time, resources and commitment needed to
master another language. But while being bilingual is impressive full stop, no matter what
combination of languages you speak, adding English to your CV will be particularly
useful. Not only is it an especially complex language to get to grips with, a fact that
reflects well on you for having mastered it, but as weve seen, its also an incredibly useful
language to learn because so many countries speak it. Youll be in a much stronger
position to apply for jobs overseas if youve reached a good level of fluency in English.
Here are just three examples to give you an idea of the kind of situations in which English
may come in useful in your own country:
Business meetings being able to speak English puts you in a position to be able
to attend or hold international business meetings. Where several languages are
represented, the chances are that the meeting will be conducted in English and if
youre the only one in your team who can speak English, you may find yourself
being put forward to attend important meetings, advancing yourself up the career
ladder in the process.
Customer service and sales youll be able to help with any English-speaking
customers your employer may have and sell to them. This gives you the chance to
build relationships with overseas customers, and the ability to build relationships is
an important business skill that puts you at an advantage over non-English speaking
fellow employees and makes you more valuable to the company you work for.
Marketing and communications if the company you end up working for
markets its products or services to English-speaking countries, or releases other
sorts of communications such as press releases to these countries, your knowledge
of English may come in handy for translating marketing materials or
communications with customers or sales prospects. The cultural knowledge youll
Page 2
acquire through learning English may also come in handy in knowing how to pitch
products and ideas to English-speaking nations.
4. English gives you access to some of the worlds best universities
English is widely regarded as the language of higher education. Oxford, Cambridge,
Harvard and MIT are just a few of the famous universities that occupy the lofty heights of
the top of the world education league tables, and youll need to speak English fluently for
access to any of these, as theyre all English-speaking. It goes without saying that if you
are able to study at one of these institutions, youll start your career with an illustrious
name on your CV and the benefits of that speak for themselves. If English isnt your
native language, youll need to take an English test during the admissions process to prove
that your level of English is up to scratch for the demands of the academic environment. If
you have your sights set on a top university, the effort you put in to study English as early
as possible in your school years will be rewarded when it comes to the choice of
universities to which you can apply.
Task 2. Answer the following questions.
1.

3.
Why is English important for students of university?

Why do some universities give standardized test for the students?
Mention some standardized tests to measure the students English language proficiency!
Task 3 Parts of Speech
In the English language, words can be considered as the smallest elements that have
distinctive meanings. Based on their use and functions, words are categorized into several
types or parts of speech. This article will offer definitions and examples for the 8 major parts
of speech in English grammar: noun, pronoun, verb, adverb, adjective, conjunction,
preposition, and interjection.
Page 3
1. Noun
This part of a speech refers to words that are used to name persons, things, animals, places,
ideas, or events. Nouns are the simplest among the 8 parts of speech, which is why they are
the first ones taught to students in primary school.
Examples:
Tom Hanks is very versatile.
The italicized noun refers to a name of a person.
Dogs can be extremely cute.
In this example, the italicized word is considered a noun because it names an animal.
It is my birthday.
The word birthday is a noun which refers to an event.
There are different types of nouns namely:
Proper proper nouns always start with a capital letter and refers to specific names of
persons, places, or things.
Examples: Volkswagen Beetle, Shakeys Pizza, Game of Thrones
Common common nouns are the opposite of proper nouns. These are just generic
names of persons, things, or places.
Examples: car, pizza parlor, TV series
Concrete this kind refers to nouns which you can perceive through your five senses.
Examples: folder, sand, board
Abstract- unlike concrete nouns, abstract nouns are those which you cant perceive
through your five senses.
Examples: happiness, grudge, bravery
Count it refers to anything that is countable, and has a singular and plural form.
Examples: kitten, video, ball
Mass this is the opposite of count nouns. Mass nouns are also called non-countable
nouns, and they need to have counters to quantify them.
Examples of Counters: kilo, cup, meter
Examples of Mass Nouns: rice, flour, garter
Collective refers to a group of persons, animals, or things.
Example: faculty (group of teachers), class (group of students), pride (group of lions)
Page 4
2. Pronoun
A pronoun is used in place of a noun or nouns. Common pronouns include he, her, him, I, it,
me, she, them, they, us, and we.
Subjective Pronouns
A subjective pronoun acts as the subject of a sentenceit performs the action of the verb.
The subjective pronouns are he, I, it, she, they, we, and you.
He spends ages looking out the window.
After lunch, she and I went to the planetarium.
Objective Pronouns
An objective pronoun acts as the object of a sentenceit receives the action of the verb. The
objective pronouns are her, him, it, me, them, us, and you.
Cousin Eldred gave me a trombone.
Take a picture of him, not us!
Possessive Pronouns
A possessive pronoun tells you who owns something. The possessive pronouns are hers, his,
its, mine, ours, theirs, and yours.
The red basket is mine.
Yours is on the coffee table.
Demonstrative Pronouns
A demonstrative pronoun points out a noun. The demonstrative pronouns are that, these, this,
and those.
That is a good idea.
These are hilarious cartoons.
A demonstrative pronoun may look like a demonstrative adjective, but it is used differently in
a sentence: it acts as a pronoun, taking the place of a noun.
Page 5
Interrogative Pronouns
An interrogative pronoun is used in a question. It helps to ask about something. The
interrogative pronouns are what, which, who, whom, and compound words ending in "ever,"
such as whatever, whichever, whoever, and whomever.
What on earth is that?
Who ate the last Fig Newton?
An interrogative pronoun may look like an interrogative adjective, but it is used differently in
a sentence: it acts as a pronoun, taking the place of a noun.
Indefinite Pronouns
An indefinite pronoun refers to an indefinite, or general, person or thing. Indefinite pronouns
include all, any, both, each, everyone, few, many, neither, none, nothing, several, some, and
somebody.
Something smells good.
Many like salsa with their chips.
An indefinite pronoun may look like an indefinite adjective, but it is used differently in a
sentence: it acts as a pronoun, taking the place of a noun.
Relative Pronouns
A relative pronoun introduces a clause, or part of a sentence, that describes a noun. The
relative pronouns are that, which, who, and whom.
You should bring the book that you love most.
That introduces "you love most," which describes the book.
Hector is a photographer who does great work.
Who introduces "does great work," which describes Hector.
Page 6
Reflexive Pronouns
A reflexive pronoun refers back to the subject of a sentence. The reflexive pronouns are
herself, himself, itself, myself, ourselves, themselves, and yourselves. Each of these words can
also act as an intensive pronoun (see below).
I learned a lot about myself at summer camp. (Myself refers back to I.)
They should divide the berries among themselves. (Themselves refers back to they.)
Intensive Pronouns
An intensive pronoun emphasizes its antecedent (the noun that comes before it). The
intensive pronouns are herself, himself, itself, myself, ourselves, themselves, and yourselves.
Each of these words can also act as a reflective pronoun (see above).
I myself don't like eggs.
The queen herself visited our class.
3. Adjective
Adjectives are words that describe or modify other words, making your writing and speaking
much more specific, and a whole lot more interesting. Words like small, blue, and sharp are
descriptive, and they are all examples of adjectives. Because adjectives are used to identify or
quantify individual people and unique things, they are usually positioned before the noun or
pronoun that they modify. Some sentences contain multiple adjectives.
In the following examples, the highlighted words are adjectives:
1. They live in a big, beautiful
2. Since its a hot day, Lisa is wearing a sleeveless
3. The mountaintops are covered in sparkling
4. On her birthday, Brenda received an antique vase filled with fragrant
Types of Adjectives
Remember that adjectives can modify as well as describe other words, and youll find it much
easier to identify different types of adjectives when you see them.
Page 7
Articles
There are only three articles, and all of them are adjectives: a, an, and the. Because they are
used to discuss non-specific things and people, a and an are called indefinite articles. For
example:
Id like a
Lets go on an
Neither one of these sentences names a specific banana or a certain adventure. Without more
clarification, any banana or adventure will do.
The word the is called the definite article. Its the only definite article, and it is used to
indicate very specific people or things:
Please give me a banana. Id like the one with the green stem.
Lets go on an adventure. The Grand Canyon mule ride sounds perfect!
Possessive Adjectives
As the name indicates, possessive adjectives are used to indicate possession. They are:
My
Your
His
Her
Its
Our
Their
Possessive adjectives also function as possessive pronouns.

Demonstrative Adjectives
Like the article the, demonstrative adjectives are used to indicate or demonstrate specific
people, animals, or things. These, those, this and that are demonstrative adjectives.
These books belong on that
This movie is my favorite.
Please put those cookies on the blue plate.
Coordinate Adjectives
Coordinate adjectives are separated with commas or the word and, and appear one after
another to modify the same noun. The adjectives in the phrase bright, sunny day and long and
dark night are coordinate adjectives. In phrases with more than two coordinate adjectives, the
word and always appears before the last one; for example: The sign had big, bold, and bright
letters.
Page 8
Be careful, because some adjectives that appear in a series are not coordinate. In the phrase
green delivery truck, the words green and delivery are not separated by a comma because
green modifies the phrase delivery truck. To eliminate confusion when determining whether a
pair or group of adjectives is coordinate, just insert the word and between them. If and works,
then the adjectives are coordinate and need to be separated with a comma.
Numbers Adjectives
When theyre used in sentences, numbers are almost always adjectives. You can tell that a
number is an adjective when it answers the question How many?
The stagecoach was pulled by a team of six
He ate 23 hotdogs during the contest, and was sick afterwards.
Interrogative Adjectives
There are three interrogative adjectives: which, what, and whose. Like all other types of
adjectives, interrogative adjectives modify nouns. As you probably know, all three of these
words are used to ask questions.
Which option sounds best to you?
What time should we go?
Whose socks are those?
Indefinite Adjectives
Like the articles a and an, indefinite adjectives are used to discuss non-specific things. You
might recognize them, since theyre formed from indefinite pronouns. The most common
indefinite adjectives are any, many, no, several, and few.
Do we have any peanut butter?
Grandfather has been retired for many
There are no bananas in the fruit bowl.
I usually read the first few pages of a book before I buy it.
We looked at several cars before deciding on the best one for our family.
Attributive Adjectives
Attributive adjectives talk about specific traits, qualities, or features in other words, they are
used to discuss attributes. There are different kinds of attributive adjectives:
Observation adjectives such as real, perfect, best, interesting, beautiful or cheapest

can indicate value or talk about subjective measures.
Size and shape adjectives talk about measurable, objective qualities including specific
physical properties. Some examples include small, large, square, round, poor,
wealthy, slow and
Page 9
Age adjectives denote specific ages in numbers, as well as general ages. Examples are
old, young, new, five-year-old, and
Color adjectives are exactly what they sound like theyre adjectives that indicate
color. Examples include pink, yellow, blue, and
Origin adjectives indicate the source of the noun, whether its a person, place, animal
or thing. Examples include American, Canadian, Mexican, French.
Material adjectives denote what something is made of. Some examples include cotton,
gold, wool, and
Qualifier adjectives are often regarded as part of a noun. They make nouns more
specific; examples include log cabin, luxury car, and pillow cover.
4.
Verbs
A verb is one of the main parts of a sentence or question in English.

Types of Verbs
1. Action Verbs
Action verbs express specific actions, and are used any time you want to show action or
discuss someone doing something.
2. Transitive Verbs
Transitive verbs are action verbs that always express doable activities. These verbs always
have direct objects, meaning someone or something receives the action of the verb.
3. Intransitive Verbs
Intransitive verbs are action verbs that always express doable activities. No direct object
follows an intransitive verb.
5.
Adverbs
An adverb is a word that is used to change or qualify the meaning of an adjective, a verb, a
clause, another adverb, or any other type of word or phrase with the exception of
determiners and adjectives that directly modify nouns.
Kinds of Adverbs
1. Adverbs of Manner
Adverbs of Manner tell us the manner or way in which something happens. They answer the
question "how?". Adverbs of Manner mainly modify verbs.
He speaks slowly. (How does he speak?)
They helped us cheerfully. (How did they help us?)
James Bond drives his cars fast. (How does James Bond drive his cars?)
Page 10
We normally use Adverbs of Manner with dynamic (action) verbs, not with stative or state
verbs.
He ran fast. She came quickly. They worked happily.
She looked beautifully. It seems strangely. They are happily.
2. Adverbs of Place
Adverbs of Place tell us the place where something happens. They answer the question
"where?". Adverbs of Place mainly modify verbs.
Please sit here. (Where should I sit?)
They looked everywhere. (Where did they look?)
Two cars were parked outside. (Where were two cars parked?)
3. Adverbs of Time
Adverbs of Time tell us something about the time that something happens. Adverbs of Time
mainly modify verbs.
They can answer the question "when?":
He came yesterday. (When did he come?)
I want it now. (When do I want it?)
Or they can answer the question "how often?" (Frequency):
They deliver the newspaper daily. (How often do they deliver the newspaper?)
We sometimes watch a movie. (How often do we watch a movie?)
4. Adverbs of Degree
Adverbs of Degree tell us the degree or extent to which something happens. They answer the
question "how much?" or "to what degree?". Adverbs of Degree can modify verbs, adjectives
and other adverbs.
She entirely agrees with him. (How much does she agree with him?)
Mary is very beautiful. (To what degree is Mary beautiful? How beautiful is Mary?)
He drove quite dangerously. (To what degree did he drive dangerously? How
dangerously did he drive?)
6.
Prepositions
Prepositions are short words (on, in, to) that usually stand in front of nouns (sometimes also
in front of gerund verbs).
There are hardly any rules as to when to use which preposition. The only way to learn
prepositions is looking them up in a dictionary, reading a lot in English (literature) and
learning useful phrases off by heart (study tips).

The following table contains rules for some of the most frequently used prepositions in
English:

Conjunctions
Conjunctions are words used as joiners.

Different kinds of conjunctions join different kinds of grammatical structures.
Page 13
The following are the kinds of conjunctions:
A. COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS (FANBOYS)

for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so
Coordinating conjunctions join equals to one another:
words to words,
phrases to phrases,
clauses to clauses.
Coordinating conjunctions usually form looser connections than other conjunctions do.
Coordinating conjunctions go in between items joined, not at the beginning or end.
Punctuation with coordinating conjunctions:

When a coordinating conjunction joins two words, phrases, or subordinate clauses, no
comma should be placed before the conjunction.
A coordinating conjunction joining three or more words, phrases, or subordinate

Page 14
clauses creates a series and requires commas between the elements.
A coordinating conjunction joining two independent clauses creates a compound sentence

and requires a comma before the coordinating conjunction
B. CORRELATIVE CONJUNCTIONS
either. . .or
neither. . . nor
both. . . and
not only. . . but also
These pairs of conjunctions require equal (parallel) structures after each one.
C. CONJUNCTIVE ADVERBS
These conjunctions join independent clauses together.
The following are frequently used conjunctive adverbs:
after all
also
as a result
besides
consequently
finally
for example
furthermore
hence
however
in addition
incidentally
indeed
in fact
in other words
instead
likewise
meanwhile
moreover
nevertheless
next
nonetheless
on the contrary
on the other hand
otherwise
still
then
therefore
thus
Page 15
Punctuation:
Place a semicolon before the conjunctive adverb and a comma after the
conjunctive adverb.
D. SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS
These words are commonly used as subordinating conjunctions
after
although
as
as far as
as soon as
as if
as though
because
before
even if
even though
how
if
inasmuch as
in case (that)
in order (that)
insofar as
in that
lest
no matter how
now that
once
provided (that)
since
so that
supposing (that)
than
that
though
till
unless
until
when
whenever
where
wherever
whether
while
why
Subordinating conjunctions also join two clauses together, but in doing so, they make one
clause dependent (or "subordinate") upon the other.
A subordinating conjunction may appear at a sentence beginning or between two clauses in a

sentence.
A subordinate conjunction usually provides a tighter connection between clauses than a
coordinating conjunctions does.
Page 16
Loose:
It is raining, so we have an umbrella.
Tight:
Because it is raining, we have an umbrella.
8. Interjections
Interjections are words or phrases used to exclaim or protest or command. They sometimes
stand by themselves, but they are often contained within larger structures.
Wow! I won the lottery!
Oh, I don't know about that.
I don't know what the heck you're talking about.
No, you shouldn't have done that.
Most mild interjections are treated as parenthetical elements and set off from the rest of the
sentence with a comma or set of commas. If the interjection is more forceful, however, it is
followed with an exclamation mark. Interjections are rarely used in formal or academic
writing.
The interjection is a part of speech which is more commonly used in informal language than
in formal writing or speech. Basically, the function of interjections is to express emotions or
sudden bursts of feelings. They can express a wide variety of emotions such as: excitement,
joy, surprise, or disgust.
