language
According to Atin Tresna Septina , English is the language that is used in almost all countries in the world. English as an international language has a very important role in our life as a society. In the field
of sports, politics, education, science, technology and
so forth, the English language becomes a means of communication that are based specifically. English language is very important to master the English language is a necessity for supporting us as a global society.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once said: "Those who know nothing of foreign languages, knows nothing of their own." Humans ability is not limited to quite, because it is basically the language is a way or
tool to
communicate. So the people who have foreign language skills are qualified, usually also very good at communicating with its own language.
2.3 The reason English is International Language
Language is the most important infrastructure in communication, as
we all know English is the language of instruction used to communicate internationally. English language is the oldest language in the world and originates from the plains of Britain is about the 8th century, besides the English language is the oldest language in the world, the
English language has
a vocabulary development is very rapid. According
to a joint research team. Of Harvard University researchers noted additional vocabulary oldest languages in the world reached 8500 words per year. Now the total has reached 1.022 million words. That is the amount of vocabulary far more than our country. Indeed, the growing amount of vocabulary
is a better benchmark whether or not a language is considered as an
international language. Besides the United Kingdom is a developed
country. This is evident from the innovation and
dissemination of knowledge that much of the West. The scientists, essays,
invention, and innovation in the western
state of development is very fast. The fact is also said that the
United Kingdom is the country that most colonies around the world.
Therefore english is very familiar and more widely used in many countries,
especially the colonial British. So the English language more
quickly spread to different parts of the world. And to
this day the English language is set to become an international language.
2.4 The Easy Method to do in order to Learn English Well and with
The Maximum Goal
·
Identify Common Vocabulary
Before mastering communication and English grammar,
then we should have a vocabulary, which is used everyday in
conversation.
·
Familiar with The English Language
Grammar in English may be difficult for us to master
it completely. But we actually do not have to learn English
grammar in detail. The important thing is we have a basic
understanding of English grammar, it becomes our capital
to develop English language skills at a higher level. Examples of simple grammar
that we can learn is the noun, verb, to be,
adjective, adverb, pronoun personal, simple tenses, such as the simple present tense, continuous tense,
past tense future tense and so forth. With
our little knowing basic grammar is capital enough for us to develop the English
language skills of higher.
·
Make a habit of reading in
English
English reading habit will make us familiar,
and we can understand and enjoy the content/message of the
text. Moreover we can find new vocab that increase our English vocabulary.
·
Get used to doing a
conversation using English
Language is meaningless if it is not practiced and
applied in daily life. Language will rapidly evolve if
we use it. In conversation with others people can help us to believe in ourselves,
can help us to learn from mistakes, and help
us to learn from
others. The point will quickly understand language and develop
when we are accustomed to using.
·
Listening to English songs
One of the most effective media in order to master English
easily is with us to get used to love the songs in English. By hearing the songs we used to hear the words and sentences in
English. Indirectly, listen to English songs is
a learning tool honing our listening and speaking. So
that our English skills will increase.
·
Pleased with the English
language
If in our hearts already embedded sense of fun, enthusiasm
to learn English, then it's capital base for us to make it easier to
learn English. With
enthusiasm and glad it is not hard science logged in to our memory.
2.5 The benefits of mastering English
·
The pursuit of
opportunities abroad
There are thousands of programs to learn,
work and volunteers around the world, but
almost entirely only
offered to those
who master the
English language. A world full of opportunity open when we can
master and speak in
English.
·

at the
special position in 75 countries and is used in more than100 countries.
·
