Answer the following questions completing the chart:

Is English important in your life? Why? Is English important in your career? Why?

Yes, English is important in my life because

it will provided me with knowledge about

the language learnt (English) and the culture

of the places where people speak English.

When we learn a second language, we are

exercising our brain, because we are saving

lots of pieces of information there. In this

way learning English matters, it makes us

intellectually and culturally rich people.

English is important in my career as an

environmental engineer, because it will help

me to find better job opportunities could be

here in Colombia or in other countries.

Learning English will also give me the

ability to read about environmental issues

that are written in English. In the

environmental field there is always

something new to learn about and there are

so much information written in English

about those topics. What is more, I can also

get update in the last news about

engineering and can listen or read them in a

second language.
