/ Study English

English is an international means of communication. It is studied as a foreign language at secondary and higher schools of our country.

As for me, I like English very much. I studied English at school and I'm studying it now. I learn it every day because I want to have a good command of the language.

I want to become a good nurse, and English will be of great importance in my future work. First of all it gives me a possibility to communicate freely with foreign patients, to discuss the problems of nursing with my foreign friends. The knowledge of English will help me to translate different instructions of modern drugs. I am sure that the nurse must have enough knowledge in her work, she must enrich it reading special medical literature, using electronic materials, finding necessary information on Internet sites.

English will help me to grow professionally, I'll be able to learn new methods of nursing and treatment of patients.

There is a proverb: "A new language, a new world".

English as Means of International Communication

English is the national language in such countries as Britain, the United States of America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. It is the mother tongue of nearly three hundred million people. Many people speak English in Japan, China, India and African countries. But many more use it as an international means of communication, because English has become a truly international language.

Science, trade, sport and international relations of various kinds have given the English language the status of one of the world's most important languages. Many scientific and technical journals are written in English although they are not necessarily published in England or other English-speaking countries. At numerous international meetings and conferences, English is the main language. The Olympic Games and other multinational sports events cannot do without it.

The role English plays today is the result of historical processes. The English language, in the course of its historical development, has met with so many influences from abroad that its lexical and grammatical structure has come to reflect in many ways its international use.

English is a language, which is indeed able to cope with the most diverse tasks of international communication.
