Dialogue on the Importance of Learning English
(Two friends meet at a local park after school)
Myself: Hey, Shakib! How are you doing? I was thinking about how important it is for students to learn English nowadays. What do you think?
Shakib: Hey! I’m doing well, thanks. Yeah, I agree. English is everywhere now — in movies, books, the internet, and even in our textbooks. But honestly, I sometimes feel it’s a bit difficult to improve my English.
Myself: I totally understand! It can be tough at first, but learning English is so important, especially for our future. Do you know that it’s the international language of business, science, and technology?
Shakib: Really? I always thought English was just something we needed to know to talk to foreigners or travel. I didn’t realize it has so many other uses.
Myself: Yes! In today’s world, English opens up many doors. If you want to apply for a good job, most companies look for employees who can communicate in English. In fact, many multinational companies require English for business communication.
Shakib: I see! I’ve also heard that knowing English helps people get better scholarships and study abroad. I guess that’s because many universities around the world use English for instruction, right?
Myself: Exactly! Almost all the top universities in countries like the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia teach in English. If you want to study there or even apply for a scholarship, a good command of English is essential.
Shakib: That makes sense. I’ve always dreamed of studying abroad, and I know knowing English would be a huge advantage. But, you know, I struggle with speaking sometimes. What do you think I should do to improve?
Myself: That’s a good question! First, don’t be afraid to practice. The more you speak, the more confident you’ll become. You can start by having simple conversations in English with friends or teachers. Also, watching English movies and reading books can help improve your vocabulary and understanding of sentence structure.
Shakib: Oh, so I should practice speaking more, right? I’ve been focusing on writing and reading mostly. But speaking seems just as important.
Myself: Exactly! Both speaking and listening are really important. You can also try joining an English-speaking club or participating in online discussions. That way, you’ll get used to hearing and using English in different contexts.
Shakib: I like that idea. I should try practicing with my classmates more. I guess English isn’t just for exams; it’s something that will benefit me throughout my life.
Myself: Exactly! It’s not just about the SSC exam. Learning English opens doors to better career opportunities, helps you understand international media, and connects you with people from all over the world.
Shakib: That’s true. English is everywhere, from social media to international news. It’s the key to staying connected with the modern world. I never thought about it in such a big way.
Myself: It really is. And let’s not forget that in our own country, many of the best resources, books, and research papers are available in English. If you know English, you can access so much more information to help you with your studies or career.
Shakib: Wow, I hadn’t even considered that. It’s like having access to an entire world of information! So, it seems like learning English is really an investment in my future.
Myself: Absolutely! It’s an investment in your career, personal development, and even in building better relationships. People will appreciate your ability to communicate in English, and it will open up so many opportunities for you.
Shakib: Thanks for the conversation, man! I really feel motivated now to focus more on my English skills. I’ll practice speaking more and look for ways to improve my listening and writing as well.
Myself: I’m glad to hear that! Keep practicing, stay motivated, and remember — the more you use English in your daily life, the more fluent you’ll become. We’ll help each other out!
Shakib: Definitely! Thanks for the advice. Let’s both improve our English together and make the most of it!
