English is an international means of communication. Many people learn English for work or for travelling. About 20% of the world's population speak English. It can help you to understand people if you are abroad. You can also read books or watch filmes in original. I study English because it is necessary for career growth and my future development. English is very interesting, but it’s difficult for me yet. I hope I will know this language well in the future. Certainly, the language that unites the peoples of the world is important for society. But we shouldn’t forget the consequences’ scale of the mass adoption of a foreign language. For example, studying French was widely spread in the beginning of the 19th century (eventually - The War of 1812). In the 20th century German caused two world wars (both mainly provoked by Germany). Now it is the 21st century, the century of progress and technologies. The English language is spreading around the world, so can’t we avoid the war with the USA and Great Britain or maybe with the EU? Probably we have to just remember that fanaticism and widescale oblivion have already showed us 3 centuries of people’s madness. I admit that I am not an opponent of linguistics and foreign languages. After tracing the logic chain, I just believe it is worth considering about the upcoming world language domination and countries speaking it.
