Fluency in English or Mastery of the Mother Tongue

             The way of communicating to other people is important to sharpen our social life. Many languages are made in different countries for they have their own language. But fluency in English must be observed because it is the universal language. In applying for work and in the school, English is always used. When you look at many magazines and newspaper, you cannot be a good worker or an office man if you don’t know how to speak in English fluently. As for me, both fluency in English and mastery of the native tongue are important in being a good speaker.  

             Every citizen in this world needs fluency in English as for it is the worldwide language. You can communicate to other nationalities by simply speaking the English language. While our mother tongue is important for us because this is the first language learned by your ancestors and your parents. Now in the modern world, many say that English is more important than our native tongue because without it, we cannot succeed in life or have a great life. But some says that our mother tongue is important because without the mastery of it, we cannot learn new languages because foreign languages are based and translated in our native tongue like English, without our mother tongue, we cannot understand meanings and we cannot translate then understand the meanings of English sentences. As for me, both are important in their own ways. Every language has a purpose in their creation. Language is important to express your feelings and say statements in many ways.

            As for us, citizens, our language is important to us as it is a part of our history. You cannot compare two languages that the origin and purpose of creation. It is a part of one country’s history. For good, learn new languages and origin of it to appreciate more ideas and its country’s culture. In learning new languages, one should understand the purpose of it and its importance to its owner country.
