Answer the following question supporting your opinion (at least 10 lines):
In todays global world, the importance of English can not be denied and ignored since English
is the most common language spoken everwhere. With the help of developing technology,
English has been playing a major role in many sectors including medicine, engineering, and
education, which, in my opinion, is the most important arena where English is needed.
Particularly, as a developing country, Colombia needs to make use of this. world-wide spoken
language in order to prove its international power. This can merely be based on the efficiency
of tertiary education. Consequently, English should be the medium of instruction at universities
in Colombia for the following three reasons: finding a high-quality job, communicating with
the international world, and accessing scientific sources in the students major field.
The first reason for why English should be the medium of instruction at universities in
Colombia is that it helps students find a high quality jobs for students to find. In business life,
the most important common language is obviously English. In addition to this, especially, highquality jobs need good understanding ability and speaking in English. Therefore, companies
can easily open out to other countries, and these companies generally employ graduates whose
English is fluent and orderly. For example, the student who is graduated from a university which
takes English as a major language will find a better or high-quality job than other students who
dont know English adequately. In other words, the student who knows English is able to be
more efficient in his job because he can use the information from foreign sources and web sites.
He can prepare his assigments and tasks with the help of these information. Therefore,
undoubtedly, his managers would like his effort or prepared projects. In addition, many highquality jobs are related with international communication and world-wide data sharing.
University graduates who are in a international company and business are needed to
communicate with foreign workers.
