As we know, English is the language that
connects people from different regions, cultures, and nations. Though not
intended, it is a common language gifted to the world by the British, which has
helped the world share information quickly and precisely without translation.
Moreover, English is a worldwide spoken and accepted language, so language is
no longer a barrier for people to settle in other countries.
Speaking English allows an individual to
broaden his world, from job opportunities to relate to people from every
country. Though English originated in Great Britain, its versions change across
nations in which it is spoken.
India, too, has contributed a good number of
words to the modern English language, which are presently included in standard
dictionaries.
English knowledge is an essential employability
skill, the most commonly used language in the corporate world. Using it
efficiently in both written and oral is vital for one’s professional growth.
But, unfortunately, mere domain knowledge won’t guarantee one a good job. It is
observed that people voting for regional languages for communication over
English believe that English is not a need as long as they communicate
effectively to get their job done. The reality is that the companies consider
the candidate’s ability or inability to speak fluently in English as a primary
selection criterion.
Proficiency in English does not mean only the
ability to make grammatically correct sentences. It also requires other related
skills for effective communication like convincing skills, presentation skills,
negotiation skills, and interpersonal skills. In addition, it is an imperative
language online, with more than half the content on the internet written in
English.
It is the language used for official
communication, whether meeting within or outside, presentations, training
conferences, letters, documents, reports, etc.
Gleaning new words day in, day out is an
excellent way to widen vocabulary. Keep adding words to your repository. Learning
the proper pronunciation of words is essential for excelling in conversations. Be
confident and speak as often as possible to as many people as you possibly can!
Do not be shy making mistakes! The more you practice, the better and more
confident you will become in your pronunciation and vocabulary.
So, polish your skill of expressing yourself in
English and open your door to the world.
