Learning foreign languages is important nowadays. I think that any educated person must learn foreign languages. But I prefer English to other foreign languages. Why? English is becoming a global language. A half of billion people in the world use English at home or work. English is the language which is known for the most part of our fine, magnificent and surprising world. English is so widespread that it has become the standard language for all kinds of international communication.
A lot of problems of the 21st century, such as the problems of war and peace, ecology, can not be solved without speaking the same language.
The English language is now the first language of about 350 million people, the native language of 12 nations and the official language of more than 33 nations. It means that one of seven people in the world speaks English.
English is also the international language of businesspeople, pilots and air traffic controllers, sportsmen, scientists and students. If you want to be a stewardess, a pilot or an air control officer you have to learn English, the language of international communication. Every year thousands of people from Russia go to different countries as tourists or to work. They can’t go without knowing the language of the country they are going to. A modern engineer or even a worker cannot work with an imported instrument or a machine if he is not able to read the instruction how to do that.
<span>Some people learn English because they need it in their work; others to travel aboard and for lots of people learning English is just a hobby.</span>

Summer vacation.
In my last summer vacation, I had a lot of time.
The first month of summer was the same as the past. I was in the city. But, at home idly, not sitting. I went to the garden to grandparents, and we had fun. We splashed water from the well, when the air was filled with the heat. And at night telling scary stories and listened to the songs of crickets admiring the night sky. I visited all the hiding places to read. He was fond of sketching and photography.
In July I went to another city with her grandmother to visit relatives and I loved it. Nevyansk was reminded, more of the village and there was a lot of beautiful places such as: Nevyansk tower, the river Neva or a small hill overlooking the houses and the forest, who were also brought in my camera.
I returned home empty-handed. Relatives allowed me to visit them in the attic, where I found several bags of books. I sat behind them all day, all I get could not, so took the most interesting, I took them with him.
Returning home, I read a lot, drew, and was preparing to study, exams, as as.
This summer I liked the fact that I managed to help grandmothers in the country; I read lots of interesting books and more time devoted to the creative skill. And most importantly, I fulfilled the dream of his grandmother: "to Visit the homeland".
