People in Russia study some foreign languages: French, German, Spain, Italian and some others. But the most popular is, of course, English. Why so? I think that there are some reasons for its popularity. First, children learn it at school; they study it further at the universities and institutes because it is easier to learn than any other language. Second, it sounds very pleasant and sweet. Third, English is used in world media. This language is needed when we travel abroad because we have to communicate with people of different nationalities. English is an international language it is spoken in more than 120 countries, it is a working language of the United Nations. Besides, many people want to use it for a future career. Now English is a language of communication for people of various professions. I can name only some of them: politicians, sportsmen, pilots and air traffic controllers, scientists, etc.
As for me, English attracts me because it is used everywhere: on the labels of different goods, in different instructions to them. Nowadays there are many borrowings from English in the Russian language. And we cannot understand the meanings of these words without knowing this language. Every modern person should try to learn English. There are so many beautiful English books which are worth reading in original. Besides, a lot of songs, films and other cultural things are written in English and we can understand them without translation if we try to do the best. Our contacts with the people of the world become more and more wider. Nowadays there is a practice of specialists exchange in different spheres of life. It is one more reason for learning English. I express my own opinion and I think that many people can support me

About one hundred years ago many educated people learned and spoke French when they met people from other countries. Today most people speak English when they meet foreigners. It has become the new international language. There are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak English as a first language. Why is this?
There are many reasons why English has become so popular. One of them is that English has become the language of business. Another important reason is that popular American culture (like movies, music, and McDonald's) has quickly spread throughout the world. It has brought its language with it.
Is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly? I don't know. It's important to have a language that the people of the earth have in common. Our world has become very global and we need to communicate with one another. On the other hand, English is a fairly complicated language to learn and it brings its culture with it. Do we really need that?
Scientists have already tried to create an artificial language that isn't too difficult and doesn't include any one group's culture. It is called Esperanto. But it hasn't become popular. But maybe the popularity of English won't last that long either. Who knows? There are more people in the world who speak Chinese than any other language. Maybe someday Chinese will be the new international language.
