One of the most popular and widespread language in the world is English. As we know from English language statistics, over 400 million people use the English vocabulary as a mother tongue, only surpassed in numbers, and over 700 million people, speak English, as a foreign language. Also we shouldn’t forget that three-quarters of the world's mail, telexes and cables are in English, more than half of the world's technical and scientific periodicals are in English and actually English is the medium for 80% of the information stored in the world's computers.
All abovementioned facts affect me to learn and develop my English. Practically actuality this language in my country is high. I can prove this fact within message of the president Republic of Kazakhstan that out nation should be well-known in three languages: Kazakh – our mother tongue, Russian – as official, English – as international.
Kazakhstan is young country. For being in the list of developed country we must work hardly and pull together with other countries. In this case English is our one of the most main instruments.
