5. "Teaching of English; A Plea for Practical Attitude" by  R K Singh.

◆  Why English is such an important language?

1. It's the most commonly spoken language in the world.

2. It's the language of International business.

3. It's easy to learn.
4. It's helps us to understand other language as well.

5. It can be used around the world.

6. It's very flexible.

1. What is English language for me?

   According to me....English is one of the most dominant language all around the world which is having it's impact on every field of work. Though English play a much greater role in entire world.        But as we living in the India English becomes our second language because most probably the people who are living in India especially in Gujarat they all speak in Gujarati so Gujarati becomes our first native language or we can say that mother tongue as well. As per I mentioned prior that English is the language of internet also. So according to me English is the wider spread language and we all have to learn that language. Because when we go to the other country or outside of gujarat then English language is too much important for the communication.

2. Which kind of challenges you are facing and have faced while learning this language?

As per my view when I was in 10th standard we had the individual Grammer portion or Tenses. When I was trying to solve one tense and after that start a new tense at that time there was no issue at all ....but when Sir gave us the common test of that tenses  then sometimes  I had in dilemma or sometimes I didn't recognized the tense. But after the full of praticized of that I could understand very well.

Another thing is that I can understand this language very well but I doesn't speak in fluently in English instead of others because I afraid of to speak that but yes it's indeed a true that when someone say me that write down then I can write anything without any error or I can give my best.

Although English subject is my favorite since childhood. So I practised a lot to grasp this language. And the other hand English doesn't speak in everyday life like : our home , friends, cousins....  So it's the big challenge for us to command over this language. But....

"Practice makes perfect."

3. Write in brief your understanding about any one essay.

Here I mention the Shivendra K Verma's third essay " Teaching English as a Second Language in India: Focus on Objectives"...In this essay he mentioned that  objective of language and teaching as well as the aim of teaching English as second language in India.

   Then he categorise language in 4 parts:-
● First Language
● Second Language
● Foreign Language
● Classical Language

   He discussed  need of English at National level as well as at individual level also. English is a link language also and also library language.

 He further decide this essay in 3 parts:-
● Bilingualism
● Trilingualism and
● Multilingualism

The more understanding of this above 3 parts ...Click here..

In this essay he mentioned 4 major skills :-
1. Reading
2. Writing
3. Speaking
4. Listening (RWSL)

Listening and Reading both are receptive skills while Speaking and Writing both are productive skills.

So, in this above essay Shivendra Sharma said that the main aim of the education system is to provide learner proper atmosphere for learning and make them realize their capabilities.

4. According to you which position English language should be given?

 It's s very tough to define that which position English language should be given but according to me it should be given to the first priority because most of the people of India and also in abroad they perhaps speak in their native languages but among them most of the people know English language very well so when we are going to that place or visit to that place so it's easy for us to communicate in English language. Otherwise we have no longer communication in that place's people & we have in dilemma to ask something or they can also in dilemma to answer us.
So English language is must be our priority to speak and write also.

5. How you see your future with English language?

It's obviously I can see a blazing and stunning future with this one of my favorite English language. It would give me the dazzling opportunities in India and also in abroad to communicate with the people.
