Text – English – a good way of communication
Nowadays, English functions as lingua franca all over the world. It means that almost everyone speaks English. It is no longer considered useful only while travelling to USA, Britain or Australia. It's something more. It's a must! While English is not an official language in most countries, it is currently the language most often taught as a second language around the world. Many people are still wondering... why English? There are a lot of artificial languages, which would better function as an international language, e.g. Basic English, Ido or even Esperanto. For some people English is difficult to learn. But, according to specialists, English will still have the position of one of the most widely spoken languages.
