ENGLISH ESSAY ‘why english is
important for students’ FROM 600 TO 700 WORDS
Pakistan is a developing
nation. It is an emerging economy. Pakistan wants to grow fast economically and
industrially. It is a noble aim but full of difficulties. For all this, people
should be well informed, educated and their knowledge should be up-to-date. We
need doctors, engineers, technicians, executives etc. And English is the only
language in which expert knowledge in all these subjects can be obtained. It is
also the store-house of technical and scientific knowledge. It is also the
international language. It is used throughout the business and scientific,
world. In such a situation, the importance of the study of English is very clear.
Pakistan cannot neglect it as a means of instruction, training and expression.
English is not a foreign
language as Russian, French, German or Japanese is. It has been here for the
last 250 years. Pakistanis are experts in the use of this language. No doubt it
was introduced in the Sub-continent by the Britishers in the 19th century.
Their purpose to make it a medium of instruction and expression was selfish.
But English has played a great part here. It has helped in affecting
renaissance and re-awakening. It helped us in winning our freedom. It plays now
a great role as a link language. Most of the educated Pakistani people speak
and understand English. It is also the working language of the world body UNO.
Pakistan has to play an important role in international affairs. Therefore, the
study of English in Pakistan becomes very significant. Pakistan cannot afford
to neglect it.
It is also important for
national unity and integrity People in the different areas of the country speak
different languages. English is the only language they understand and speak.
Though Urdu is our national language and yet it is not in a position to replace
English. People of many areas don't want to use Urdu. They resist the
imposition of Urdu on them. If we know English we can go anywhere in the world
and can feel at home. The study of English needs to be continued for national
and international interest. It is narrow mindedness to think that the use of English
is a sign of slavery. It is a harmful and mistaken view.
We should develop Urdu and
other regional languages. But we cannot afford to neglect English. This is the
age of science and technology. The world is changing very fast. Everyday there
are many inventions and discoveries. Pakistan cannot keep pace with the fast
moving development without the knowledge of English. Our scientists, engineers,
diplomats, educationists and leaders should have a very good knowledge of
English. To produce first rate scientists we must continue with English. It is
English in which all the literature about important subjects is available. It
will be suicidal to stop the use of English. It is our second language. It is
the richest and most useful language of the world. The correct use of English
by the Pakistanis has given us a great advantage over many other countries.
What is best in science, culture, literature, philosophy and history is found
in this language.
If Pakistan has not to remain isolated,
English must be taught and studied. We shall be better placed by its study. For
our correct mental development, we should always study the simplest thoughts,
ideas and literature. And it is freely available only in English. Many_ of our
scholars and students go abroad for research and advanced studies. They cannot
succeed without the knowledge of English. English has come to stay for a long
time. It cannot be removed in hurry. It should remain a medium of instruction
and expression in learning. English cannot be a monopoly of England or America.
It belongs to all those who use it. And Pakistan has been using it effectively
for the last several years. It has to play an important role in our national and
international affairs. The future of English in Pakistan is assured and safe.
