People all over the world speak almost 3000 languages. The most wide-spread language in the world is Chinese. Then comes English - 350 million people speak it as their first language, about the same number use it as a second language. English is losing its political and cultural associations and becoming the property of all cultures. It has become the world's most important language in politics, science, trade and cultural relations, aviation, international sport and music. It is the official or semi-official language in over 70 countries (the UK, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the Irish Republic). It is also spoken as a second language by many people in India, Pakistan, numerous countries in Africa. It is the main foreign language taught within most school systems worldwide, many newspapers are published in English and it is the language of much radio and television broadcasting. In the recent years it has become a lingua franca. It is used a great deal by businessmen from different countries which don't have a common language in order to do business. It is already a lingua franca at international conferences. Besides every person who travels in Europe, Asia, or Africa, even in the South America gets around by using English.
Thus, the knowledge of a foreign language today is a life necessity.
