Reading and Writing Petra, Why People Study English as a Second Language

*Below is a model Cause and Effect essay, which focuses on the causes of people studying English.   

By Nate Feldman

ESL, or English as a Second Language, is one of the largest language fields in the world.  There is incredible demand from students from many countries to learn and improve their English skills all of the time.  It’s hard to believe that a language that came from a small island in the North Atlantic Ocean has become so important to the world, but it’s the reality.  The question is why is that the reality?  Why do people need to learn English?  They need to learn English to communicate with others around the globe and for career purposes.  (The Main argument of the essay)

English has become the international language, so if you want to communicate with someone from a language that is not your own, but it is hard to learn their language, then it is essential to study English.  Take for example, someone from China interacting with someone from Ukraine.  The Ukrainians might not speak Chinese, and the Chinese might not speak Ukrainian.  In many of these circumstances, the two people with different languages will use English as a way to interact with one another.  As a result/therefore, it is essential they have adequate English skills for this situation.

Another reason English is popular as a second language is because in many countries it enables people to get a better career.  In many fields around the world, a solid knowledge of English is a requirement to obtain a good position.  Therefore/for that reason, students go to language centers around the world with the hope that completing these programs will lead to better career opportunities. 

Finally, people study English because, according to some students, it is easier to learn than other languages.  Chinese and Ukranian have words and letters that are so difficult to pronounce for non-natives.  However, English is friendlier in its pronunciation.  Because of that, students are more likely to pick English as a language study than many others.

To conclude, students will continue signing up for English classes around the world due the necessity of learning it.  It helps you interact with other cultures, and it may help you get a job that is more ideal for you.  Thank you. 

*As students of English as a Second Language (ESL), why do you think people find it necessary to study English?  Do you agree with these ideas?  Do you have your own ideas?  

English is one of the most popular languages to study because it can help you get a job.  This has had many effects on the world. 

Chocolate is a popular dessert because it tastes so delicious. But, why do so many people love chocolate?

Are you one of the people who needs English for a specific purpose?  Many do, and you see them at language centers around the world studying it.  According to reports, over 10 million people a year study English at some center across the globe.  But, why is that the case?  Why has English become such a popular language?  It is popular because….It is popular for many reasons.

To conclude, English remains one of the most popular languages to study around the world for a variety of reasons.  It enhances both your academic and professional life and gives you the best chance to communicate with a wider variety of people.  It is for those reasons it will remain the language of choice when it comes to studying abroad.  Thank you.
