Learning English

Tanha Kashfia Kate, Uttara Model Town, Dhaka
Today the world has become a global village. Thanks to the advancement of communication system and technology. Every country is dependent on others for trade and commerce, education, etc. Third world countries like Bangladesh have to depend on foreign aid because they are not self-sufficient. In this situation, we have to learn other languages, especially English, to communicate with foreigners. Bangladesh is the only country in the world whose people sacrificed their lives for the language. Now the historical language movement of 1952 is acknowledged internationally as the International Mother Language Day. It is true that we are emotional about our language Bangla. But it is equally true that now Bengalis have become very serious about learning English.
