"Upholding English Proficiency for Communicative Competence"

          

          It’s not new to us that almost all of us are not that good or fluent in speaking English especially to us Filipinos because it’s not the language that we are using. However, we are trying our best to speak in English fluently. Actually, this month we are celebrating the English Month with the theme “Upholding English Proficiency for Communicative Competence”.

            English proficiency is the ability to speak, read and/or write in English. This year’s theme in the English Month convinces us to learn and speak in English. We should widen our knowledge and learn this language because this is so important to us. This language is also referred to us as the universal language. We should learn to speak and understand English so that we would be able to communicate with other nationalities wherever we may go. This would be our weapon and even our advantage wherever we may go because this language will be the way why we can communicate and other people will not laugh at us and do some silly things to us because we don’t commit and encounter some difficulties. And if someday if we will go to have our job in other countries as well as in our county, if we will be using this English proficiency for the interviews, we will have potentials to get that job. During our age, we don’t have any jobs yet because we are still young and we need to study first, we can used our abilities in speaking, reading or writing in English in some contests and activities of the English club in connection with the celebration of the English Month. These activities will help us to speak, write and read in English.  We can also   learn and gain knowledge in joining the contest and different activities. Our English proficiency will also enhance and slowly and slowly our English proficiency is becoming better.

            English Proficiency helps us in our daily lives. It will bring us to our goals and ambitions in life. It is indeed a great improvement and achievement when a person has the skill of speaking, writing or even reading in English. As we all know English is our universal language and as we go on later we can encounter other nationalities we can communicate with even without a translator.
