6. As a group, write about the reasons why it is important for you to learn English.

Example: We want to learn English because we want to study abroad, learn many things about other
cultures and enjoy the advantages of communicating with new people around the world.
 -English is the most commonly used language among foreign language speakers.

-Knowing English will make you bilingual and more employable in every country in the world

- Speaking English will allow you to travel around the world and make yourself understood. You will be able
to fully enjoy your trip since English is spoken on five continents, and you will avoid stressful situations
caused by the language barrier

- English is also important in our profession, because in companies we normally meet foreigners from

different countries who use the universal English language.
