10 Reasons to Learn English

Learning English is important and people all over the world decide to study it as a second language. Many countries include English as a second language in their school syllabus and children start learning English at a young age.

However, do you know why learning English is so important? Here are ten good reasons to take an English language course.

---

1. English is the most commonly spoken language in the world. One out of five people can speak or at least understand English!

2. English is the language of science, of aviation, computers, diplomacy, and tourism. Knowing English increases your chances of getting a good job in a multinational company within your home country or of finding work abroad.

3. English is the official language of 53 countries. That is a lot of people to meet and speak to.

4. English is spoken as a first language by around 400 million people around the world.

5. English is the language of the media industry. If you speak English, you won't need to rely on translations and subtitles anymore to enjoy your favourite books, songs, films and TV shows.

6. English is also the language of the Internet. Many websites are written in English – you will be able to understand them and to take part in forums and discussions.

7. English is based on a simple alphabet and it is fairly quick and easy to learn compared to other languages.

8. English is not only useful – it gives you a lot of satisfaction. Making progress feels great. You will enjoy learning English, if you remember that every hour you spend gets you closer to perfection.

9. Since English is spoken in so many different countries there are thousands of schools around the world that offer programmes in English. If you speak English, there're lots of opportunities for you to find an appropriate school and course to suit your academic needs.

10. Because it's fun! By learning English, you will also learn about other cultures. Few experiences will make you grow as a person more than learning the values, habits and way of life in a culture that is different from yours.

Feelings, emotions and suggestions

Hi my dear students of 7th.
Let's learn and talk about feelings, emotions and suggestions.
Don't forget to study the new vocabulary.

Good Advice: advice and suggestions

Giving advice and making suggestions are two different language functions

You can use these to give advice to a friend: SHOULD      You should go to the doctor, he’ll tell you what to do      You shouldn’t go to bed so late, you need more sleep WHY DON’T YOU      I know it’s difficult to find, but why don’t you look on the Internet?      Why don’t you wait here for a moment, I’m sure she will be back very soon HOW ABOUT + ING (or YOU + bare infinitive)      You look bored. How about going for a walk? We could go to the river.      How about you stay here and I go and look for help?

MUST/HAVE TO [strong advice]
     You must go to the doctor immediately, that looks serious.
     You have to take her to that movie, she’s going to love it.

YOU’D BETTER (not) + bare infinitive (colloquial often: YOU BETTER...)
     You’d better not call her now, she must be too angry with you
     You better come to my house and ask my father

SUGGEST (+ that you (should) )
     I suggest that you eat more vegetables
     I suggest that you should take a holiday, you look so tired

IMPERATIVES (start, stop, try, consider...) + ing
     Stop drinking so much coffee, it’s not healthy
     Start going to the gym
     Try talking to him, you may convince him
     Consider buying a new bicycle and give the old one to your little brother

Suggestions: taking decisions together

You can use these to make suggestions when deciding what to do with our friends (together):

LET’S + bare infinitive
I’m bored. Let’s play a video game or something
Hey, let’s go for a walk

WHY DON’T WE...? Why don’t we have another beer? I’m so thirsty Why don’t we look for a better beach? This one is packed with people WHAT/HOW ABOUT? + ing or noun What about taking a taxi? I can’t give another step Do you want to watch a movie? How about ‘Forrest Gump’? -ING + IS ONE IDEA Having the party in the garden is one idea Telling Sam is one idea. Or we can also tell Mike

USES OF THE SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE

Hi my dear students of 8th  grade.
Copy and learn well this information about the uses of simple present tense.

USES OF SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE

1. Facts (something is generally known to be true).

The sun sets in the west.

The sun never sets in the east or south or north, but always in the west. Exercise: Hamlet (be)  a play by Shakespeare. Mount Everest (reach)  a height of 8848 metres. Water (boil)  at 100°C.

2. Action in the present taking place once, never or several times. 

                                                  Colin plays football regularly - every Tuesday. In English,  

                                                 signal words are often used. 

Colin always plays soccer on Tuesdays.

e.g.: always, never, seldom, often, regularly, every Monday. Exercise:  You never (arrive)  on time. I seldom (go)  to the zoo. Francis occasionally (drink)  coffee.

3. Actions in the present taking place one after another.

First one action takes place and then the other. Ex: She takes her bag and leaves. Exercise:  Janine (leave) the house and (lock) the door. Then She (go)  to the bus stop. When the bus (arrive) , she (get on)  the bus and (go)  to work.

4. Action set by a time table or schedule.

The train leaves at 9 pm.

Although the action takes place in the future, it takes place regularly and is set by a time table. Exercise: The plane (arrive)  in London at 11:45. The lesson (start)  in five minutes. The film (begin)  at 8 o'clock.

5. verbs expressing states, possession, senses, emotions and mental activity

I love her.  Exercise: I (like)  pizza. He (hate)  garlic. My sister (prefer)  tea to coffee.

When you love someone, that's a state, a fact or emotion, but not an action (like running for example). Whenever you want to express a state, possession, sense or emotions, use the simple form (not the progressive). The following words all belong to this group: be (state) believe (mental activity) belong (possession) hate (feeling and emotion) hear (senses) like (feeling and emotion) love (feeling and emotion) mean (mental activity) prefer (mental activity) remain (state) realize (mental activity) see (senses) seem (feeling and emotion) smell (senses) think (mental activity) understand (mental activity) want (feeling and emotion) wish (feeling and emotion)
