Sometimes, we ask ourselves: “why do we
learn English?” then the answer is, simply, to succeed in the exams. Everybody
knows that English is a good medium of communication, within the world, so we
must learn it.
Everybody knows that English is the most
widely used international language of today. It is spoken by more than half of
the people of the world. Some speak English as their own language, and some
speak it as a second language. By learning English we can enlarge our mental
horizons and increase our knowledge because we shall have a better chance of
reading a wide variety of books, newspapers, and magazines.
English is also useful in other different fields of life such as business and commerce. Indeed, many businessmen build their success upon their good knowledge of English.
Students sometimes study their subjects in English. Businessmen use English at their meetings; scientists and doctors write articles in English; tourists speak English when they go abroad, it helps them enjoy their trips and communicate with other people to develop better understanding and establish new friendships.

Moreover, English helps us follow
television programs and enjoy interesting films, and read the literature of
other people.
English is particularly important in the
fields of science and technology. There are many scientific books that we shall
not be able to enjoy without a good knowledge of English. Besides, technology
of the modern world is, as a matter of fact, available in English. We would be
completely ignorant of many scientific facts without knowledge of English.
From what we have said, one can say that
English is learnt for both benefit and enjoyment. It is, in a word, a way to
success not only in examinations but also in life, for this reason, students
learn English - not only to pass their examinations but also to enjoy the
pleasures of life.
We can summarize the reason for wanting
to learn English in that nothing can be done, without it. Especially with
regards to dealing with computers and modern technology, such as the internet.
Without English, one is closed to those linguistic items which render us
capable of entering the modern technological world.
