Another strength is that English is relatively easier to initiate. Helped by its simple pronunciation and grammar rules, it gains appreciation of many beginners. What's more, English enjoys a long history, within which it forms a rich and precious culture, providing us with tremendous knowledge and pleasure. To sum up, English is the best choice as the universal language for all the above reasons. In the days to come, English is bound to go on a tear.
