because English is the international way of communication─ or an international
language used by most countries in the world. Therefore, people need the
language in order to make a great occasion in getting job and passing test. In
terms of job, almost all job demands require the employees to have a good
English proficiency because all instructions dealing with the job are written in

never done the homework at all, up to now. In addition, friends could influence a
bad effect to the English learners. They could feel reluctant, have no confidence,
and get no motivation to practice their English, if their friends do not support
them.
