In the globalized world today, English
is one of the widely spoken languages around the world. English has become
primary source of communication that allows us to share our ideas and thoughts
with others. For me as engineering student, writing in English is vital because
engineering is one of the largest fields of study in the world and many works
of research and studies are recorded in English. Especially my mother tongue is
not English, mastering English is even more important, not only for my
scholastic life but also for prospective career.
In fact if we do not learn English,
we are isolating ourselves away from almost half of the world’s knowledge.
Having said that, writing in English is a task that definitely required in
university. As engineering student, I would be assigned numerous projects and
assignments. Therefore, good writing English skill is necessary to allow us get
excellent results or grade especially would be greatly applicable to module of
Effective Communication. In my opinion, the most important issues that I want
to highlight is the computer software such as “Windows”, “Microsoft Office”, and
“Internet Explorer” are mainly written in English, and these programs are the
basic vital software in order to produce spectacular reports and assignments
for students.
On the other hand, English is being
adopted by international companies from various countries. With the good
knowledge of English, students are able to find high quality job and upgrade
themselves at the same time. Being able to speak and write in English overcomes
communication barriers between people from various countries. As a result, the
percentage of dealing or cooperating with foreign companies will be getting
higher. In a nutshell, English language fluency is a significant aspect of an
engineering student’s academic life and future career.
I share the same point of view with Kok Quan. In most aspects of life, such as communicating with people globally in conversations or writing, during academic years or when we are working, we can observe the paramount importance of the English Language. Even when we are in a native country, having the basic knowledge of the English Language will allow us to get assistance easily. Acquiring substantial knowledge of the English Language will also enable us to express our ideas as well as moods and feelings. These days, it is quite common to work with people in other parts of the globe. Therefore, we will always be relying on the English Language to communicate with our counterparts.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with what you have written on the importance of English. English gave us the opportunity to tab into the world's knowledge through endless information we can obtain either from the internet or books. Majority of the content on the internet is usually written in English just like this blog that you have created. Through this blog, people comment on your post allowing you to receive feedback on whether the post is well written. From here, you can identify your mistakes and improve your writing skill. All in all, I feel that you have explained the topic well as you showed us the importance of English at different stages of life.
ReplyDeleteI agree to a large extent with Kok Quan's post. He mentioned that in current context of the year 2016 English has become a widely spoken language across most of the world. Coincidentally, I am also an undergraduate engineering student which requires English writing skills for my module ‘Effective Communication’ which I need to comment on my classmate’s blog post.
ReplyDeleteWith a well- structured education in Singapore, I am glad I have the opportunity to learn English language since young as it will be useful throughout my entire life be it in school or as a working adult. How to achieve your desire first full-time job is how you perform during you interview session with your company. Verbal skill plays a vital role in securing your first job. Without a clear articulation or pronunciation, you can forgo your job as your boss would not want to hire someone who is not confident in speaking as you will be representing the company image when meeting with other clients.
In the end, I feel that English is important in all aspects of our lives and it will be even more useful in the future. If we can master English well and speaks fluently this will be an assets following you forever.

I agree to a considerable extend to the fact Kok Quan stated in which English is a very important language to apprehend.
ReplyDeleteit is compelling to have the knowledge of English to keep pace with the process of globalization. English has achived a prestige of global language and is highly regvonsed almost all over the world. having the ability to speak and write English helps prevent language barriers and allow good communications to help with understanding between peoples.English is used in our daily lives, it becomes a part of us when we are in school, at work, or even when we are on a vacation.
As mentioned, "With the good knowledge of English, students are able to find high quality job", I find this very true to the society. For instance, writing a good cover letter along with your resume when we are applying for jobs, not only shows how good u achieve academically, but also with a strong foundation on English, it display even more of your capabilities.
In overall, i felt that Kok Quan had done a good job in relating his experiences with the importance of English.
