Language is the mean of communication. Mostly groups of society have their own languages. Some of them appear the top global languages. Most people
in the world hear about English, Arabic, and Mandarin. However, English is the most global spoken language. Then if a man wants to catch a global goal, he has
to master English. Everyone recognize that English is an international language. English is
used in writing and speaking by many people all over the world. It can be either as a first or second language.
Besides usage in daily interaction, English is also used as a key to open doors leading to scientific and technical knowledge. No wonder we find manual
guides and instructions of many devices written in English. Even if we have a pack of instant noodle, we will see the cooking instruction also written in English.
