English in My Life I do not know why, but nowadays English seems to be the most important language to learn. People who live in countries where English is the mother language are lucky because these people are likely to live the whole life without the necessity to learn a second language. Maybe English became a popular language because the USA had become a super potential country or because English is a practical language, very easy to learn. Maybe both theories together. I had my first contact with English when I was I child, on my first years in school. I didn’t use to have problems to learn English. But as I was poor and my school was not a challenging one I cannot affirm if I was smart or if the school was too bad. When I became a teenager, the taste for music deepened my relation with English. I started to listen to rock music. I really love it until now. For the first time I found a utility to learn English and I started to like it. Later, I got a scholarship on one of the best Universities in Brazil. It was a shock at first when I noticed that all those rich young people knew English better than me. It is obvious that they had been studying in good schools their whole life while I had been having a poor education in public school. Anyway, I worked to change that reality and I found a internship which allowed me to pay for extra English classes. Nowadays I work with financial market in Brazil and use English almost every day writing and reading e-mails and sometimes talking by the phone. I must say that since the begging I like English, I like the way the language sounds and I am impress when I see someone talking a second language. Even as learn English continues to be a obligatoriness because of my profession I feel happy to learn more every day. Simply because I really love this language!

English in My Life

I do not know why, but nowadays English seems to be the most important language to learn. People who live in countries where English is their mother language are lucky because these people are likely to live their whole life without the necessity to learn a second language. Maybe English became a popular language because the USA had become a super power country or because English is a practical language, and is very easy to learn. Maybe both theories together.

I had my first contact with English when I was a child on during my earlier years in school. I didn’t use to have problems to learning English. But as I was poor and my school was not a challenging one so I cannot affirm if I was smart or if the school was too just bad. When I became a teenager, the my taste for music deepened my relationship with English. I started to listen to rock music. I really loved it until now. For the first time I found a utility (good resource) to learn English and I (began) to like it.

Later, I got (received) a scholarship on to one of the best Universities in Brazil. I was shocked at first when I noticed that all those rich young people knew (understood/spoke) English better than me I did. It is was obvious that they had been studying in good schools their whole life while I had been having a poor education in public school. Anyways, I worked to change that reality and I found an internship which allowed me to pay for extra English classes.

Nowadays I work with the financial market in Brazil and I use English almost every day writing and reading e-mails and sometimes talking by on the phone. I must say that since the beginning I liked English, I liked the way the language sounds and I am impress when I see someone talking speaking a second language. Even as learn English continues to be an obligation because of my profession While I continue to learn English, I feel happy to learn more it every day. Simply because I really love this the language!

no, it became lingua franca simply because british empire occupied many places/countries. in a nutshell, it started with sad story and blood. and USA ain't native of english.
