I believe that English should be taught at schools. There are a lot of reasons to support this idea. First of all, English is a universal language. Today, it is spoken by more than 1 billion people in the world. It is the most popular foreign language among students from different countries and regions. In addition, it is used as a means of communication between people from different countries and cultures, which allows them to communicate more easily with each other. Second, learning English contributes to improving one's ability to communicate with others effectively. This helps students develop their communication skills and learn how to express their thoughts and feelings more efficiently. In addition, it also helps students improve their listening comprehension skills as well as their reading comprehension skills through reading books written in English and watching movies or television programs produced in English. Finally, learning English can improve one's career prospects because an increasing number of jobs require knowledge of this language in today's competitive job market; therefore, employers prefer hiring candidates who can speak both oral and written English fluently rather than those who only know one or two words in this language.
