All languages are meant for communication and the most popular language in the world nowadays is English. My name is Irina. I’m 15 years old. English is my favourite subject at school and I have been studying this subject since childhood. I live in a bilingual family. My mum is from Russia and my dada is from Georgia. So, different languages have always been heard in my house. My mum decided to expand my vocabulary and to take me to special kids’ courses of English language. The teacher quickly noticed that I’m quite good at picking up new words and I continued studying the foreign languages at school. From the 5th form I also started learning French. It’s a very beautiful language too, but English, in my opinion, is more practical and demanded in the world. When me and my parents travel to other countries I always take a chance to use my English there. Almost all people easily understand what I mean. Another reason for learning English is my future career. I’m planning to continue my education in a Linguistic University and hopefully I’ll become an interpreter some day. I also like reading books and magazines in English, so my knowledge of foreign words really helps me. After all, I think that the more languages we know the better. I can make friends from different countries and keep in touch with them by e-mails. So, if I want my dreams to come true, I need to master and improve my English all the time.
