The importance of English:

1. English is the main international language in the world today and the most widely used language in the world. According to statistics in 1986, there are nearly 400 million native English speakers in the world, and almost one in ten people speaks English.

2. English is widely used. More than 70% of emails in the world are written or addressed in English. 60% of the world's radio programs are in English. Most of the international information is published in English. The vast majority of international conferences use English as the first common language, and it is also one of the official working languages ??of the United Nations.

3. With the rapid development of the Internet, programming languages ??have become more and more mainstream, among which programming languages ??are written in English. Although India's development is not as good as China's in many aspects, India's software development industry is much more developed than China's. One of the important reasons for this gap is that Indian programmers generally have a higher level of English application than Chinese programmers.
