2. To reflect
• Why learn English?
• Why is the world “extremely small”
nowadays?
• Where do People speak English?
• Do you like English?
3. Why Learn English?
Learning to speak English well may be the best thing you can
do to improve your life.
That's right. Do you think it would be fun to have access to
information that other people can't get? Talk and write
letters to interesting people that others can't communicate
with? Impress people around you whenever you opened
your mouth? Make big jumps in your career, leaving others
miles behind?
You can get all this if you speak English well.

Simple alphabet — no special symbols such as
é or ä. Type in sweet, part, film on your

Easy plurals — simply add s to a word. One car,
five cars; one telephone, two telephones...
There are very few exceptions.
Words are easy to learn – the adjective is
almost the same to male or female. There is
no plural to adjectives. The verbal tense is
simple.
