English is an compulsory subject of many schools, and it is because young people nowadays need to know about the essential usages of it. First of all, everyone knows that English is an international language which is used widely in all over the world, so it is an obvious thing that people need to master it to communicate with the world. Although there are also other popular language such as Spanish and Chinese, English is still evaluated as the simpler one to study. Therefore, English is a short way for us to reach out of our country, and it can clearly help us a lot in our career. Second, learning a new language has more benefits than just a way to communicate, especially English. It is a beautiful language with many interesting for us to explore. It can change the way we talk, the way we see a problem, and the way we approach to general knowledge. One person can become more confident after many speaking classes, and he or she can have better ways to write an essay and email after some writing classes. It gradually changes us in a more positive way that we do not realize, and it will become a good part of us. Third, knowing English is an advantage when we entertaining. I have to admit that many talented artists are from English speaking countries, and it is a pity if we cannot read, listen or watch there works in their mother language.  I hope everyone can know clearly about the importance of English.
