IMPORTANCE OF ENGLSH:

In todays global world, the importance of English can not be denied and ignored since English
is the most common language spoken everwhere. With the help of developing technology,
English has been playing a major role in many sectors including medicine, engineering, and
education, which, in my opinion, is the most important arena where English is needed.
Particularly, as a developing country, Turkey needs to make use of this world-wide spoken
language in order to prove its international power. This can merely be based on the efficiency
of tertiary education. Consequently, English should be the medium of instruction at
universities in Turkey for the following three reasons: finding a high-quality job,
communicating with the international world, and accessing scientific sources in the students
major field.

The first reason for why English should be the medium of instruction at universities in Turkey
is that it helps students find a high quality jobs for students to find. In business life, the most
important common language is obviously English. In addition to this, especially, high-quality
jobs need good understanding ability and speaking in English. Therefore, companies can
easily open out to other countries, and these companies generally employ graduates whose
English is fluent and orderly. For example, the student who is graduated from a university
which takes English as a major language will find a better or high-quality job than other
students who dont know English adequately. In other words, the student who knows English is
able to be more efficient in his job because he can use the information from foreign sources
and web sites. He can prepare his assigments and tasks with the help of these information.
Therefore, undoubtedly, his managers would like his effort or prepared projects. In addition,
many high-quality jobs are related with international communication and world-wide data
sharing. University graduates who are in a international company and business are needed to
communicate with foreign workers. For instance, if their managers want them to share the
companys data, they are expected to know English. Moreover, they will even have to go
business trip for their company. Absolutely, all of these depend on speaking English;as a
result, new graduates have to know English in order to get a high-quality job, and the others,
who dont know English, may have lack of communication and be paid less money.

The second and the most important reason, for English to be the medium of instruction in the
Turkish higher education system is that it enables students to communicate with the
international world. In these days, in my opinion, the most important thing for both university
students and graduates is to follow the development in tecnology. For this reason, they have
to learn common language. Certainly, they should not lose their interest on communicating
with the world. However, some of the university students cant obtain English education in
their university. Unfortunately, these people may lose their communication with worldwide
subjects and topics. In short, they will not communicate foreign people. To prevent these
people from lacking of speaking English, universities administration will provide English
education to them. In addition, university students can use some specific hardware and
software of computers with their English to communicate others. For example, the Internet,
which, in my opinion, is the largest source in the world, based on English knowledge and
information. Also, most of the softwares such as Windows, Microsoft Office, Internet
Explorer are firstly written in English, and these programs are the basic vital things for
communication over computer. That is to say, even in a little resarch about something, they
need these programs and the Internet to find necessary sources and information.

The last reason for favouring English as the medium of instruction of Turkish universities is
that it faclitates accessing information. All of the students have to do some projects or
homeworks which are related with their field during the university education. In these projects

or homeworks, they have to find some information which is connected with their subject. They
find sources from English web sites and books, but they have to replace these data to their
projects. During these process, if they know English, they will not come across with any
difficulty, but if they dont know, even they may not use these data. As a result, the student
who knows English will be more successful at his/her project. For this reason, to obstruct
possible inequity between students, management of universities should accept English as a
second language in order to provide accessing information to the students. In short, university
students need to know English to access information.

All in all, the education in universities should be done with English for three reasons. First,
students who know English are able to find their favourite job related with their field. Second,
they can communicate with others internationally. Third, as a major language in universities,
English makes accessing information easy for students. In my opinion, internationally, people
need one common language. For many years, English has been the common wold-wide
language, and it will be in the future. For this reason, if you want to follow trends, new
gadgets and technology, modernization of the developing world, you have to know English
whatever age you are in.

Language is the source of communication. Its the way through which we share our ideas and
thoughts with others. There are uncountable languages in this world. Because every country
has their own national language, then they have different local languages spoken and
understood by their people in different regions.
1. English may not be the most spoken language in the world, but it is the official language in
a large number of countries. It is estimated that the number of people in the world that use in
English to communicate on a regular basis is 2 billion!
2. English is the dominant business language and it has become almost a necessity for people
to speak English if they are to enter a global workforce, research from all over the world
shows that cross-border business communication is most often conducted in English. Its
importance in the global market place therefore cannot be understated, learning English really
can change your life.
3. Many of the worlds top films, books and music are published and produced in English.
Therefore by learning English you will have access to a great wealth of entertainment and will
be able to have a greater cultural understanding.
4. Most of the content produced on the internet (50%) is in English. So knowing English will
allow you access to an incredible amount of information which may not be otherwise
available!
Although learning English can be challenging and time consuming, we can see that it is also
very valuable to learn and can create many opportunities!

Persuasive Essay: Why is Education Important in Our Society?
Introduction
Education is more than just learning from books, and it is a shame that a lot of schools do not
see that it is more than just a curriculum and school score. A good education can teach a child
how to learn so that the child may take up independent learning as an adult. Education may
also teach a child how to reason so that a child does not grow up to be ignorant.

Persuasive point 1
The biggest selling point for education in our society is the fact that it helps people learn
how to learn. It is not about the knowledge they accumulate, it is the way a child is taught
how to learn things. A child may come away from school not knowing a lot of the course, but
if that child has been taught how to learn, then that child may become an adult that learns
everything he or she needs in life. Otherwise, that child may grow up to be a person that
cannot see the obvious because he or she cannot reason and consciously learn new things.

Persuasive point 2
Education teaches people how to reason, and if they are taught how to reason well, then they
help subdue their own thoughts of ignorance. For example, there are lots of posts and
websites on the Internet about childhood vaccinations and how dangerous they are. Ignorant
people than never learned how to reason will look at them, believe them and support them. If
a person is taught how to reason then he or she will know how to recognize empirical
evidence.

That person would look at all the people in the US that have had childhood injections (most of
them) and then look at all the people with autism. They would reason that if childhood
vaccinations caused autism then most of the people in the US would have autism. If a person
is taught how to reason then that person may see how people that smoke seem more likely to
develop emphysema than people that do not smoke. They would then reason there is a link
between smoking and emphysema. This sort of reasoning can be taught in schools, and if
children are not taught it then they walk around risking their childrens lives by not
vaccinating them, and walk around smoking because their daddy smoked for years and it
never hurt him.

Conclusion
If education is not seen as important, then one day it will just be all about school scores and
hitting the factors of a curriculum. There will be a day when children start to hate learning
because school put them off it for life (this already happens in some cases). Plus, without
education teaching people how to reason things out and teaching them how to separate what
is fact from what is faulty evidence, then our society will become more and more ignorant
until a smarter country simply marches over and takes our country from under out ignorant
noses.
