Response 1 English language

In my opinion, knowing English  is an essential factor during the era of globalization, modernization, and technology. Language by its nature is something that links us all together and can hold great power and influence among people all over the world. For instance, in our daily lives, we meet with people of different nationalities who speak English as a second language. Accordingly, we are exposed to interact and communicate with other people in English. Therefore, English language has become an inevitable part of our lives. Although learning English is a must, it is really interesting and exciting to learn about English.
Actually, I am obsessed with learning English. In other words, I’m interested in learning, teaching, reading, and writing in English. My dream job is to teach English to university students. I have been learning English for more than 10 years. When I was 9, I used to derive a lot of pleasure in reading and singing in English. In the elementary school, I participated in many extracurricular activities in English, such as singing in English, and playing English card games. Actually, I have a penchant for learning English. I really enjoy learning English, for it has always been my favorite subject since I was 9 years old. Therefore, I studied English a lot. When I was 14, I read many English stories, novels, and magazines in order to memorize as much English vocabulary as I can.
 In 2010, I graduated from King Abdul-Aziz University, Jeddah. I got my bachelor’s in English Language & Literature. After that, I decided to go to the United States to purse my undergraduate studies in Linguistics.
Currently, I’m a scholarship student in the United States. I look forward to get the admission from California State University, Fullerton. Although, my credentials qualify me to pursue my graduate studies in my home country, Saudi Arabia, I honestly prefer to get my Master’s from the United States because it has an outstanding higher education system, especially in Linguistics.
