Wasted time
I read an article about studying English yesterday . I was disappointed and at the beginning I even agreed with the article's conclusion.The man had written that he wasted ten years of his life for learning English. Nowadays he don't use English because in his country everyone speaks their own language. He said that he could have studied instead of English, history or literature. Learning English was wasted time, he said.
At the beginning I agreed with the article's conclusion but then I changed my mind. In my country a knowledge of English, if you not a teacher, is demanded occasionally. Usually English is studied at school by enthusiasts to travel or to watch a movie in its original*. At work a high level of English needed rarely.
Nowadays the world is fast changing, markets are constantly changing, new technology will appear. Nobody knows exactly what will needed tomorrow, maybe it is English. Steve Jobs said that "you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward". That's exactly how I feel. I have been studying English for my future.
*If this was your meaning?
Very well written!
