'The future status of English as the global language is assured.'

Many people nowadays share the same knowlege. This happens because today it is easier to get information. Information needs to be undestood by everyone to be possible to share it. So people need to comunicate each other in some language. Nowadays we know that two languages are spoken by most of the people around the world. Both English and Chinese are very important because many people can keep in touch using one of them. Everybody should learn English or Chinese to communicate. Although some people believe that Chinese will be the language more spoken than English around of the world, I believe that English will be more important.
One of the most populous countries of the world is China; there are more than one billion people living in this country. However, many countries have other languages. Most people don't speak Chinese. Most of the time in different countries people prefer to speak English. Many people learn and speak English in different countries today. In schools around the world it is very common learn English as a second language.
Most people know that Chinese is a very important language to learn and speak. However, the language most spoken by foreigners is English. If someone is from Mongolia for example, he or she can speak English in Europe to communicate with another person. Many instructions and advices in travel are given in English around the world. All of the people in the world can communicate with each other speaking English.
China is a strong economy and has both important and big factories. However, the United States have a stronger economy than China. It means that in business people must speak English first of all. Most of the businessmen negotiate in English around the world. Many times business are done only in English because it is the most common language between people. So Chinese as the first language around the world will take a while yet.
It should be evident that the arguments prove the status of English as the global language is assured. Of course both English and Chinese are very important languages to learn for the future. But people will keep learning and talking in English for a long time. You can travel and speak English in different countries. The world economy respects the Chinese economy, but the American economy is bigger. Most business done around the world are in English. Therefore, in my opnion, the future of English as the global language is assured.
