1. Why do so many people want to study in English? Why is English such an important international language?
English has become a common medium of instruction in many countries around the world irrespective of the fact that they use it as their first language or not. In countries like India it is the language of teaching in schools, colleges and universities; also in offices, business transactions, meetings, conferences, seminars and workshops the interactions and discussions take place in mostly English.
People nowadays are very much interested in learning various subjects and skills in English because they think that whatever is learnt and understood in English becomes very easy to be communicated also in English. A well qualified person with good communications skills in English is seen as a global professional who has unlimited opportunities of growth and development.
In this era of globalization and technological revolution in information and communication, English assumes a special status because of its acceptability among various nations owing to historical reasons and also because of its compatibility with digital technology used in computers, Internet, mobile phones, tablets etc. It can be said that English has become the lingua franca of the modern world.
So in conclusion it can be said that since education makes people aspire for better jobs so by becoming proficient in English they can connect with the world and seek better opportunities for personal and professional success. Moreover in this century dominated by tools of information and communication, English provides the common and easy link to people speaking different native languages and living in different societies to come together and participate in the process of achieving goals collectively as a team.
2. How do you think the problem of unemployment can be solved in your country? What are the methods that you can suggest and why do you think these methods would be useful in reducing unemployment?
Unemployment is surely an important issue that requires a serious discussion. Now, how do we address the issue of unemployment? What are the means and ways to solve this problem? Let's search for new ideas and solutions.
First of all, we need to upgrade our educational institutions. They should be able to provide an education that leads to better employment and self-employment opportunities. Vocational and soft skill training should be a part and parcel of the school or college curriculum to increase the employability quotient of our students.
The next step is to encourage a culture of dignity of labour. People shouldn't feel bad when they are in a particular profession or job. This also creates a positive environment for improving the unemployment issue.
Since agriculture provides maximum employment in rural areas, the govt. and its agencies should help the farmers to un-learn and re-learn in order to be more productive. The farmers should also be well compensated against climate changes and market fluctuations.
As private companies employ the lion's share of the job market, they should be given incentives and relief measures for better growth and development. Developing the infrastructure like better roads and other means of transport, efficient power supply and easing the rules to start a business would go a long way in winning the confidence of the employers.
So in conclusion, it can be said that the issue of unemployment is a social challenge and the society has to address it in a collective and comprehensive manner. Only then we can end this menace that affects a large number of people.
