Exuberant English

The English language seems set to dominate world communications for some time to come. Although dominance brings with it a degree of standardization, it is not the case that English is losing its variety, either within countries or across the globe. Current research suggests that, rather than dwindling, differences in vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation continue to allow people to express multiple identities. The fear of some linguists that mass communications would lead to the death of English dialects appears to be unfounded.

In our school, I've been so immersed in participating in the various competitions that I've been unaware of what's happening to me. I've become much more confident these days. These contests broadened my horizons, too. The sponsoring clubs, along with the Professors, have truly focused on raising the importance of the English language. And that's good, isn't it? I'll get used to it actually. After all, speaking English is a bliss.

The English language is not limited only to education. You can use the language anywhere or anytime you want! If it's the only language you can use to blurt your hearts out. It may only be the second language of my country, it's the English language that I use when I speak alone. It's the universal language, is it not? I continue to improve my skills by writing on a journal, reading contemporary novels, and yes, speaking, but not on public. I speak as if I'm in a theater and that only happens when I'm alone, but I'll get over that soon, perhaps. As for writing, I pour my feelings as words into the sleek sheets of paper, and I am impressed by the exuberant words the writers of books have to offer the readers.
