Why should Japanese study English?

English studying is essential for us, Japanese, today. Because we cannot get along without English for our daily life. In Japan, children normally start to study English from junior high school. Some of them continue studying until to high school. Half of them still continue it to university. Eventually most of Japanese study English for a long period. Afterward we have to use English in various social activities.

For instance, let's think about the business such as trading, manufacturing, constructions or whatever the business would be. English went deep into every field, even into wholly domestic business. If we want to get promotion in the company, we cannot avoid English.

We can pick up another example. Nowadays we can enjoy travelling abroad easily and comfortably. There are exceptional countries where English is not available. However it's true that English is the most useful language. If we can use English freely, the travel would be much fun.

In conclusion, now the question whether we should study English cannot be hot issue. Because it's very obvious and natural to study English in Japan.
