I, Importance of English
People learn English for different reasons and
knowledge of the language is often important
in fields like medicine, business and computing.
English is becoming more and more important in
order to communicate in the international world.
English opens doors to employment, education
and mobility. It helps teachers and learners engage
across the globe. One of the best ways to learn
English is to study in Britain. But what is it actually
like to learn English here?
Clare: My name is Clare, I am 26 and I come
from Italy. My course at the North West Academy
was very good. I studied grammar, conversation and
also words linked with my work place. The teacher
was very good. She has always been available for 1
problems during the lessons and outside the lessons.*
Over 600,000 learners a year come to Britain to I
help achieve their ambition, to experience modern 1
UK life.
Maximiliano: My name is Maximiliano. I’m 23 i
years old and Pm from Venezuela. Everyone here I
is very friendly. When you tell them that you’re a I
foreigner, everyone is very welcoming, as everyone
tries to speak with you, everyone, tries to just stay
close to you and ask you about your experience, how !
your life is in your own country. That actually helps
you a lot, like, when you’re not a native speaker.
Alexander: My name is Alexander. My surname
is Yegurov. I’m 24 years old. I came to the UK from
Russia, from Moscow. I’m studying here business

social English. I’m an engineer in the building

people here are very nice. The place
is amazing and
learning here is a really different experience, so just
come over and check it out. Well, they seem to be
enjoying learning English. What I’ve learned is, that
the English language is more exciting than I’d first
realized. Maybe, just maybe, in the future, I won’t
have to worry quite as much about my grammar
and spelling,
