Dialogue between two friends on the necessity of learning
English
|
Harry:
|
Hellow,
Amanda! How are you?
|
|
Amanda :
|
Can't
complain. What about you?
|
|
Harry:
|
Nice. Where
are you going?
|
|
Amanda:
|
I have an
English class.
|
|
Harry:
|
How much can
you cope with English?
|
|
Amanda:
|
Not so good. I
don’t understand why people don’t study English seriously.
|
|
Harry:
|
I also think
so. They should know that English is an international language.
|
|
Amanda:
|
Yes, the
necessity of learning this language cannot be overstated.
|
|
Harry:
|
Really, if we
know English we can lice and move without any difficulty in foreign countries
where people don’t know our mother tongue.
|
|
Amanda:
|
Besides,
English enables us to enter in to the store house of knowledge because most
of the famous books are translated into English.
|
|
Harry:
|
Yes, if people
don’t learn English, we will be unable to produce good doctors, engineers,
technicians and so forth.
|
|
Amanda:
|
Exactly. Our
international relations and trade would be affected too if we don’t know English.
|
|
Harry:
|
In addition,
English proficiency is needed to get good job and better salary especially in
multinational companies.
|
|
Amanda:
|
Moreover,
about 80% of computer language is in English. As a consequence, English is
necessary to be a skilled technician.
|
|
Harry:
|
In a word, I
can’t be successful in any sector without English.
|
|
Amanda:
|
Undoubtedly,
okay. Bye.
|
|
Harry:
|
Bye. Have a
nice day.

Dialogue between two friends on the difficulties of learning
English
|
Tasnin :
|
Hi, Jisan.
Where have you been in ages?
|
|
Jisan :
|
I went to my
hometown.
|
|
Tasnin:
|
What is the
HSC result of you brother?
|
|
Jisan :
|
What should I
say; he has failed in English though GPA was good.
|
|
Tasnin:
|
Really. I’m
shocked at this news. I can’t imagine it.
|
|
Jisan :
|
English has
been taught as compulsory subject in our educational system. Yet a number of
students fail in English every year.
|
|
Tasnin:
|
Right, the
students’ failure in English is so alarming that the whole nation is
frightened for the future.
|
|
Jisan :
|
Besides, those
who passed in the examination are not fluent in applying it in practical
life.
|
|
Tasnin:
|
You are right.
The method of English teaching here is quite unscientific and un sound.
|
|
Jisan :
|
In the primary
levels, teachers are not so efficient in teaching English. Consequently, students
get no interest in learning English, and it continues in higher levels too.
|
|
Tasnin:
|
Defective
syllabus, want of teachers, lack in language usage, scarcity of effective
books. All these are the difficulties of learning English.
|
|
Jisan :
|
People need to
practice a lot to develop their spoken level.
|
|
Tasnin:
|
Certainly, one
needs more than 120 hours of speaking experience to go one level to another.
|
|
Jisan :
|
However,
people are not enthusiastic. Furthermore, they don’t get suitable environment
to practice with others. Sometimes people are not amiable.
|
|
Tasnin:
|
We should
establish some language club to create practicing environment.
|
|
Jisan :
|
Of course. It
will help us to be efficient.
|
|
Tasnin:
|
To sum up, we
might have to evoke a social movement.
|
|
Jisan :
|
Yes, I have
learnt so many things from.
|
|
Tasnin:
|
It’s my
pleasure. Bye.
|
|
Jisan :
|
Bye. See you
soon.
