I'm here again to ask your help! Would you correct this little paper and make suggestions to make the text more formal and fluent? Thanks guys!! The topic is the usefulness of English in the modern world English is one of the most spoken languages in the world. It is the official language of countries like the USA and the United Kingdom and is studied in many other countries as a second language at school. It is possible to understand the importance of learning English only by these two facts, but it could be helpful to add two other reasons. Firstly, English is nowadays the predominant language in the world of economy and business. In fact, the most powerful and influential stock exchange on earth is situated in Wall Street, New York. Consequently, the language of Shakespeare is considered central by job interviewers analysing CVs of the candidates for a job application. Secondly, in the field of academic research, most of the books and articles are published in English. For this reason, researchers who know this language are able to find data and information easier than ones who have to wait for a translation into their mother tongue. In conclusion, the importance of the ‘language of gentlemen’ is based on the fact that it is the most common vehicular language now used in the world (‘for how longer?’ could be a good question to answer though). In fact, the spread of English in the world can make you travel without the need to know any other language. Nevertheless, in my opinion, it would be a waste to neglect the native languages of countries you travel. At last, English is the most useful language, but it is great to discover the richness of all the other ones, too.
