Language plays an important role in human life. One seeks to acquire, learn and use
language as a means of communication, and at the same time as a social symbol of
humanity. By using language, a person can make statements, convey facts and knowledge,
explain or report something, and maintain social relations between language users. This
shows that by using language, people can express their ideas, feelings, information etc.
through communication.

In developing countries like Indonesia, Britain has a vital role in all aspects of life, especially

 CHAPTER II
METHOD
1. History
The history of the English language begins with the birth of the English language on the
island of Britain about 1,500 years ago. English is a West Germanic language derived from
the Anglo-Frisian dialects brought to the island of Britain by Germanic immigrants from parts
of the northwestern part of what is now Holland and Germany. Initially, Old English was a
group of dialects reflecting the origins of the various Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in England. One
of these dialects, West Saxon eventually came to dominate. Then the original Old English
was influenced by two waves of invasion.

The first wave of invasion was the invasion of speakers of the Scandinavian branch of the
German language family. They conquered and inhabited parts of Britain in the 8th and 9th
centuries.

Then this second wave of invasion was the Normans in the 11th century who spoke a dialect
of French. These two invasions resulted in English being "mixed up" to some degree
(although it never became a literal mixed language).

Living together with members of the Scandinavian ethnic group ultimately created a
grammatical simplification and an enrichment of the Anglo-English core of the English
language.

2. Why We have Do To Learn English?

There are several reasons why we should learn english:

 Increase Your Value

As already mentioned above, English is the language most often spoken or most
commonly spoken throughout the world. English is the language used in science,
aviation, computers, diplomacy and tourism. Not only limited to these sectors,
English is also used for other sectors.

The large number of sectors that use English as the language of instruction makes
this language an important language in all aspects. By knowing and mastering
English, it will increase your values, especially when continuing your education and
looking for work. Mastering English also increases your chances of getting a good
job at a multinational company in your country or getting a job abroad.
 Official Language of 53 Countries
For those of you who like traveling or traveling, learning, knowing and
understanding English is an obligation for you. Especially if you enjoy
traveling to overseas destinations or destinations such as America or Europe.

Why is English so important? Because English is the official language of 53

countries in the world. There are many things that you can enjoy to the fullest
and you can get acquainted with people in these countries without having
trouble mastering English.

 First Language of More than 400 Million People

English is the first language of more than 400 million people in the world. In
addition, English is also the main language used to communicate in the
business world. Therefore, to enter a business or economic activity, it is
highly required to master English, especially for businesses that have
activities related to companies in other countries.

For example, we can look at China. As a country that acts as a leader in

business innovation and economic development, China continues to use
English as the language they use in economic activities carried out between
countries, or between their companies.

 Language of the Media Industry

Apart from being the language of instruction for all knowledge, English is also
the language of instruction for the entertainment and media industry in the
world. Even though they have a network that provides news or media in the
local language, English is still used as a common language.

For example, one of the international media BBC or Reuters, although they
have several platforms that adapt to the language of a particular country,
these two media still use English as the main language. Also, by mastering
English, you don't have to rely on translations and subtitles when reading
books, listening to songs, watching your favorite movies and TV shows.

 Language of the Internet

That's right, almost everything on the internet is in English. Starting from the
search engines that we use, to websites that use English as a common
language or primary language. In addition, the internet usually has many
discussion forums with interesting topics in them. And many of these forums
use English as a language to communicate with each other.
 Can you imagine what it would be like if you didn't speak English at all? You
will find it difficult to find information, and you will also have difficulty when
you want to join a particular discussion forum. Therefore, it is very important
to learn English as early as possible.

 Simple to Learn
English is composed of simple and uncomplicated alphabets. Although many
say that English is one of the most difficult languages to learn, it seems that
English is quite easy and fast to learn. Compared to other languages that use
their own letters such as Arabic, Korean or Mandarin, learning English is still
relatively easy.

What is often found difficult is because English has a different pronunciation

from what is written. This is what sometimes often confuses people who are
just learning. However, this can indeed be overcome by continuing to
practice and learning a lot. As you get used to it, your ability to spell or
pronounce a word will naturally improve on its own.

 English gives you satisfaction

Ever been so excited to learn something? Yep that's right, learning English
can give you your own satisfaction. Why? English is not only a useful language
for anything but it also allows you to learn to appreciate the process of
learning, and lets you know how to strive to achieve something.

Have you ever heard the term 'Practice makes perfect', right? This term also
applies in English. With a lot of practice, your English skills will definitely
improve on their own. While studying, you can also measure how far you are
progressing, and when you can master English well, you will definitely feel
satisfied with the effort you have put in.

3. The Benefit is That We Can Speak English

don't cover all the benefits that we will get if we master English.

CHAPTER III
CONCLUSION

What we have seen in this course is that English is and always is a diverse entity. This has
changed dramatically over the centuries since it first arrived on the coast of England from
northern Europe, and this change means that the language spoken at that time is almost
incomprehensible to us today. As language has spread beyond England, it is constantly
changing, and changing in different ways in different contexts. It has diversified to such an
extent that some scholars argue that it is no longer accurate to speak of an 'English'; that there
are many different English languages around the world today.

At the same time, however, English exists in the world today as a means of international
communication - as a way for people from different social groups to communicate with each
other - and to fulfill this function, the variety of languages needs to be limited to some extent.
That is, if the language becomes too diverse, it will not still be understood by different social
groups. So we have two drives at work that seem incompatible, or maybe even contradictory,
and the question we face is how to make them consistent, since they both become part of the
existence of one entity we call 'British'. This is one of the central problems in the study of
English today - and it is a very modern one because it arises as a direct result of the
unprecedented position that English has occupied in the world: as a language of global scope
involved in history and existence. today's society around the world. So what's wrong with us
mastering English, even if we learn English we can get a lot of benefits and good for the future.
So let's learn English.
