The history of England helps to understand the current state of the English language. Many English words were borrowed from the languages of the Angles and Saxons. Hundreds of French words have entered the English language. These French words did not replace the corresponding Anglo-Saxon words. There is "act" and "deed", "beautiful" and "pretty", "form" and "shape".
Many new words were brought by merchants and travelers. These words came from all parts of the world: "umbrella" (umbrella) - from Italian, "skates" (skates) - from Dutch, "tea" (tea) - from Chinese, "cigar" (cigar) - from Spanish.
Some words came into English directly from Latin, which was the language of the church and universities in the Middle Ages.
Some modern English words are derivatives. One of the ways to form new words is to survive two or more old ones English words A. For example, the words “railway”, “football”, “newspaper” are created in this way.
Many of the new English words, especially scientific ones, were formed from Latin and Greek rather than English words. The word “telephone,” for example, is created from the Greek words for “far” and “to speak.” .

Learning a foreign language is not an easy task. Today it is especially important to know foreign languages.

There are many reasons why we start learning foreign languages. Some people learn a foreign language to communicate with other people who speak that language, while others study it for a future career. If we plan a trip to countries where they speak a language that we can speak, we can communicate with the people there and understand what they say to us. If we work in any scientific department, in order to improve our professional level, we naturally want to read scientific books and magazines in other languages. Being in business nowadays also means being able to communicate in foreign languages. Knowing one or two or even more foreign languages helps people from different countries develop mutual friendship and understanding. Through contact with people of other cultures, we can also develop our intellectual and cultural potential. It is also very interesting to read foreign literature in the original. We can read foreign newspapers and magazines, understand films in foreign languages without any help or translation. [ 5.672 ].

My favorite subject at school is English. I have been studying English for 5 years. Today English has a special place in my life. Learning English means getting extensive knowledge about whole culture. We do not just learn how to write, read and speak but also learn about habits and traditions of the English, discover different countries, cities and other things.
I also go to after school classes of English. Thanks to them now I can read some books in the original. Reading books in English helps to enlarge one’s vocabulary and enrich knowledge. I hope that one day I will be able to read my favorite books about Harry Potter in English.
I like watching films in English as well. Spoken language and written language are two completely different concepts. Every person has their own manner of speaking. Sometimes we can hear dialects which are not so easy to understand. At home I have a small collection of films in English. I have watched them several times already. Every time I watch a movie I understand more and more. I believe that watching films in English is a perfect exercise for listening comprehension.
In addition to that I love listening to music. I am so glad that now I can not only enjoy my favorite music but also try to understand what the songs are about.
Recently I have joined an English club. This is a place where anyone who is interested in English can come. I have already made a few friends there. There is a small library with books and DVDs there, so one can take them home. There is also an information board on the wall where one can find messages about upcoming events in English that will take place in the town. Soon there will be guided walks around the historical part of the town in English.
I am very happy that English has made my life so interesting!

People want to learn foreign languages to write their pen-friends or to communicate with them personally. People also want to read the works written by famous writers and also magazines in the original. Learning a foreign language is especially important in our country. As for me I am fond of English. I began studying it nine years ago and I have enjoyed my lessons since that time. I like everything in English: its pronunciation, its intonation, its songs and poetry. It`s a pity there is very few English classes at school. So, to improve my English I listen to the radio programmes, listen to the English songs and poems, I watch English films on TV, communicate with my English friend on the Internet, read compositions on the Internet and now as a result I am participating in the International competition in English. But the most important thing, in my opinion, is speaking fluently. But it`s not an easy task as it might seen. That`s why I do all my best to learn English grammar well and to have good speaking skills.Certainly I haven`t mustered everything in English but I am absolutely sure that in a few years my command of the language will be perfect.
English is a wondreful language. The great German poet Goethe once said "He, who knows no foreign language, does not know his own one".Indeed, knowledge of foreign language expands the knowledge of native one.And I fully agree that native language enrriches the knowledge of foreign languages .
So, if you want to be a well educated person and to succeed in your career study English and your world will become wider.
Translation:
Many years ago, learning foreign languages was not necessary and people did not need it. And in Shakespeare's time, English was spoken by only 6 million people and was considered a provincial language. But now, in the 21st century, about one billion speak English.
But the situation has changed thanks to our country’s connections with other countries of the world. A person who speaks a foreign language well feels good not only in his own country, but also abroad. I remember well Johnson's quote "Language is the clothing of thought." This means that words dress our thoughts better. Knowing a foreign language, a person can read English books in the original, communicate with foreigners, and take part in cultural and educational exchanges between countries. So, English plays a huge role in our lives. People who know foreign languages are necessary for the development of technology, economics and the arts in modern society. People want to know foreign languages in order to correspond with their friends and communicate with them personally. People also want to read the original works of famous writers.
Learning foreign languages is especially important in our country. We can conclude that today English is very important for every person. As for me, I really love English. I started learning it 9 years ago and I enjoy learning this language. I like everything about English: pronunciation, intonation, songs and lyrics. It's a pity that there are very few English lessons at school. To improve my knowledge of English, I listen to radio programs, English songs and read poetry, watch English films on TV, communicate with a foreign friend on the Internet, read stories in English, and, as a result, I participate in an international competition.
In my opinion, the most important thing is to speak fluently. This is not an easy task as it seems at first glance. That's why I do my best to learn English grammar and have good speaking skills. I don't know the language very well yet, but I think that in a few years I will be good at it.
English is a wonderful language. The great poet Goethe once said: “He who does not know a foreign language does not know his own.” Indeed, knowledge of foreign languages expands knowledge of the native one. I completely agree that native language enriches knowledge of a foreign language.
So if you want to be educated person to succeed in your career - learn English, and your world will become richer.

Every language is very important for any people. Language shapes the nation, culture, values, traditions. Thanks to language, every nation stands out and exists. Therefore, it is so important not to forget, learn and know your language. If you know your language well, can speak, read and write correctly, then you are already doing well. But, nevertheless, knowledge of one language is not sufficient in our life. Of course, we love, know and respect our language, but in order to be a truly literate, educated person, we need to learn other languages. This develops a person. If we travel and communicate with people of a different nationality, then knowledge of a foreign language will be appropriate, will help us and, as a rule, will reduce the awkwardness of communication.
Of course, a person can be a polyglot, and knowledge of many languages is always useful and valued, but still, a person cannot learn the languages of the whole world. Therefore, there is some unique language that almost everyone knows. This is English. If you know English well, then you are already doing well. This can really help you in life. Wherever you go, you will always be able to communicate in English with people of a different nationality, because almost everyone knows it.
Many good English books and films are not always translated. And if you know this language, then without any problems you can read such a book or watch a movie.
In any school, students always learn English or German. The teaching of such disciplines exists in order to give students at least some basic knowledge of these languages, so that children can communicate more freely with their foreign acquaintances or friends, so that students can write in this language, read books, watch films, etc. .
And very often teachers will give you essays to write about the role the English language plays in your life. You can probably write a lot about this, but if you don’t know where to start, and writing an essay on such a topic is difficult for you, then you can find such essays on our website.
