Best of the semester - ① (Why is English important?)

  English is important for its being an international language.  People all over the world are speaking English. Why does English become so significant?  Here are some reasons below.  First of all, by virtue of its being spoken by legions of people around the world, we can go to another country without difficulties because we don't have the problem of not knowing local tongues.  We can communicate with locals by speaking English fluently.  Secondly, learning English can help us find a good job such as a tour guide for the foreseeable future.  As a tour guide, we can travel around the world to enrich our perceptions of life and learn other countries' civilizations.  By traveling, we can have a great valuable opportunity to experience cultural exchange.  Thirdly, learning English can help us jump on the bandwagon instead of being one step behind others.  We can catch up the world and know the latest knowledge by translating English into Chinese.  In short, the distance from country to country is no longer a problem as long as we keep learning it.

   Acton is a small town in the Midwest, which is a safe, quiet, and clean place to live.  The lifestyle in the town hasn't changed very much over the past 100 years.  Last month, Stanley Manufacturing decided  to open a large factory in Acton.  Though the efforts are not always benefic for the town,  I am on the same page as those who support the construction of the large factory.  First of all, with the new factory being built, people there can have more job opportunities than ever.  In this case, they are capable of supporting their families instead of being anxious about the income.  Secondly, interior economy will grow rapidly on account of the commerce with other countries.  They can sell their domestic products to others to make a profit.  Thirdly, after becoming a prosperous town, more and more people will be appealed to this town.  With emerging technology and useful  knowledge they bring, the town won't be isolated from the other towns.  In a word, taking into account of these effects, I think it advantageous for Stanley Manufacturing to build a large factory in Acton.

  Michael Williams opened a small music store selling compact discs.  After four months, the shop was out of business.  You may confused about why the store was closed.  There are several reasons below.  To begin with, due to the store's remote location being on a small side street, the store appealed to few people.  Secondly, Mr.williams spent too much money buying CDs, and most of the CDs were hip-hop and rock.  The sorts of CDs were so few that it couldn't catch middle-aged people's eye.  Moreover, he paid the sales clerks too much money per hour.  Consequently, he was unable to make both ends meet.  Furthermore, the business hours were so short that people couln't buy CDs in another time.  He should have opened the store at least for 6 hours from 6 o' clock PM to 12 o' clock AM every day, including weekend.  It was because most of people walked past the store at that time.   In addition, Mr.Williams wouln't accept checks or credit cards,  Thus, it wasn't convenient for customors to pay the CDs.  Due to all of these reasons, one must conclude that the shop would be closed.  Maybe he'll be successful next time after learning the lesson.
