關于第二外語的英語作文范文
As we all know, the world is nowadays becoming “globalized”, and I also heard somebody once said that the world is turning into a village. Recently fast-developed communication media result in the changes. And English functions as the most popular language in international communication should be the first cause—we have broken down the barriers between nations and could now communicate freely with people all over the world.
As for why I began to study English, there is a story. I can still remember when I was a little girl. One day, I was watching a TV programme. It’s about a beautiful country. I asked mum what it was called. She told me that’s Britain, far away in the west, and people there speak a kind of language called English. ‘But why it’s different from the one we are speaking now?’ I kept on asking. ‘That’s because every country has its own culture and language.’ I then just hit upon an idea: I must go there some day. Then I began to get interested in this nation. I wanted to know more about her culture, her history and her people. So in order to make my dream come true, I began to study English at the age of nine.
I have worked very hard, and as the study went further, I met many difficulties. But I have never thought of giving it up. Because later I realize that I learnt it not just because I want to go to Britain, but also because I like it. I just can’t help learning more and more about it.
And that’s the main reason why I study English.
Another reason is that China has joined the WTO, and Beijing is going to hold the Olympic Games in 2008. China is becoming more and more international. If we want to make our country stronger, we have to learn things from other countries; besides, we also have to let the whole world know about the Chinese traditional culture; so if we want to have these done, we have to communicate with people. So in order to communicate well, we have to learn another kind of language. Being an internationally used language, English should be our first choice.
So these are the reasons why I chose English to be my second language. I will never stop studying it. I know there are still a lot for me to learn. I hope that one day my dream will finally come true.
