English as a Global Language

It is often said that English is an essential language in many ways. Some might argue that English would not be worldwide language more than now due to other language, the Chinese. Nevertheless, from my point of view, I am in favor of the idea that English would be required to study, and then it will be the main language all over the world.
To begin with, it is English that is being acquired by people. To tell the truth, many students begin to study English when they are in elementary school, and then they have been studying it since they are in that period. In addition, English is an essential subject for students to master. A recent study conducted by the Ministry of the Education in 2008 shows that a great number of institutions and school tend to change it into a second language, which is required to study to get credits, and then many school are likely to have more English classes in timetable than in the past. Thus, English is regarded as a second language that is necessary to master. In this sense, English is becoming more important subject than in the past and is required to master to be successful in the future.
Not only that, but it is a helpful language in terms of being able to get a job more easily. As a matter of fact, a large number of company suggest that people who try to be taken a job from them should have experiences related to English, and then they have to write down them in their resume. Besides, it is common sense that having experiences concerned with English, like traveling all around the world, is better option. To illustrate this point, TOEIC, which is the test to prove their English proficiencies, is one of the most critical fields in looking for jobs. In recent years, lot of people struggled to get a high score in this test due to these reasons that I mentioned before. Moreover, lots of top-notch and well-known corporation, such as Microsoft, Apple and Coca-cola, have a tendency to make it a rule to use English as an official language. In this regard, English is a useful factor, in that people who mastered it are beneficial to find works.
All in all, English plays a pivotal role in many things. One is necessary and requiring fields, that is to say, it is considered a second language; the other is beneficial fields in terms of usefulness in finding jobs. Furthermore, it is English that would be remained as an official language in competitive global market.
