Dicussion board--The impact of English on the economy

Actually , I believe English brings many positive impacts on economy. In China, English is very popular because most of the Chinese realized English is not only a language tool to communicate, but also brings many economic interests .

First of all, trade between China and other countries, especially the English speaking countries is frequent. More than 50% of products in supermarkets all over the world are made in China. Many Chinese companies gain many profits from exports. During these trade, English plays the key role, or both sides of transaction cannot understand each other, let alone reach a win-win situation.

Secondly, English speaking countries always own the most developed high-tech, they are the spokesman of cutting-edgy technology, and most of high quality academic journal are published in English. China as a developing country needs to learn much from them and improve the economic level of the whole country. Therefore, China put English to an important status.


Finally, with the more and more people realized how important English is and want to improve their English levels, this tendency boomed a new industry - English training. There are many English schools and English teachers in China, it not only helped more people have a job, but also contribute to local economic development.

Due to these aspects, in my opinion, English brings positive impacts on the economy of our country, and I believe more and more people will aware of this phenomenon.
