Can you name the most commonly used words in the English language? You only have fifteen minutes to do it!! Click here and try. The first time I have tried, I could only find forty of them...! Perhaps you could tell us how many you get...? (Thanks to Ampliación).
This is the piece of news about a review by the Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas. One in four Spaniards is not AT ALL interested in learning English. We want to change that, don't we? That's why we have chosen Ampliación de Lengua Inglesa, because we want to be able to communicate in English with the rest of the world... As is explained here, the following are ten possible reasons to learn English:
1.- English is the most useful language in the world.
2.- English will give you the ability to step inside the mind and context of different cultures.
3.- Learning English provides you with the knowledge of a new vision of life.
4.- English language is the preferred official language of most countries for business communications.
5.- You will get better career opportunities.
6.- English is the language of Science, computers, diplomacy and the media.
7.- You will be able to travel abroad without communication problems.
8.- English is the best written language of all.
9.- You will understand lots of songs and films.
10.- To sum up, English is essential in our lives.
