Learning English
Niherendra nath Chaudhury Palashbari, Gaibandha
Since I started reading English newspapers, particularly 'The Daily Star', I came across so many articles and letters on learning English. All the writers have emphatically tried to put forward suggestions in favour of learning the language.English is not only the language of the English, but thanks to globalisation, it has become the language of the world that can bridge the whole world as a global village. And national languages , other than English, have become like state languages. There was a time when the nations did not have to learn a common language for communication with others. But the scenario of the world has changed. Like the superhighway or connecting roads, English has become a super communication language which has brought the whole world closer to each other. So we must learn English. But the question is how! The Daily Star can pave the way for generating enthusiasm among the learners. My son was not good in English. But his English language skills improved greatly after he read your newspaper regularly for about 45 days. To create interest in the learners' minds the English newspapers can play a vital role and I suggest that they read The Daily Star. It is a newspaper that can help the young men and women who are interested in learning English correctly. I believe that the letters published in DS greatly help the budding writers eager to see their names in black and white. They can write on any subject of their choosing and express their ideas freely. To learn English , spoken or written, a congenial atmosphere is required and unfortunately we do not have it. I think DS can play a definite role in the process of learning English by publishing reports and articles in an easy and lucid language. Your contribution in this regard is already very significant.
