I personally think that English is the world’s most important language. Why do I say that?

Firstly, English is an international language. It is spoken by many people all around the world, either as a first or second language. Secondly, English is also the key which opens doors to scientific and technical knowledge, which is needed for the economic and political development of many countries in the world.
