English as a global language

English is a global language. The reason for this is the

British colonial policy in the past. In the occupied lands,
the British spread their language. As a result, more than
350 million people now have English as their first
language. Some of them speak English less fluently than
native speakers. In almost every country, it is enough to
know English to communicate easily with the population.
I understood the need to speak English when the
ambassador from Greece came to our school to talk about
the relationship between Greece and Azerbaijan. Unlike
my classmates, I did not know English well then and
could not speak to him. A few years after that, I began to
prepare for exams. In two years, I raised my English from
A1 to B2 and passed the exam perfectly. However, I still
feel guilty that I didn’t learn English at school. In our
country, English speakers are highly valued. I hope that in
the future everyone will start learning English for the
further development of our country.
