Learning foreign languages is becoming more and more popular in our country. It’s not surprising because Belarus is now part of Europe and the whole world. Very little clear and detailed communication can occur among people who don’t have a common language. Besides, learning foreign languages helps us to gain a better appreciation of our own language.
It goes without saying that English is the most popular foreign language now. There are many reasons for its popularity. It has become the standard language for all kinds of international communication. The English language has become the world’s top tongue and I think it is going to become a global language, dominating the world’s trade, computers and media.
In my opinion, learning foreign languages is extremely beneficial. If you know English, you can get a better job, more money and people will respect you more. Learning English expands horizons and prepares for a successful career. Besides, English attracts me because it’s the language of business and computers. English is also very useful when you travel abroad. More than that, it’s a good exercise for the intellect, though, of course, it’s a tricky language to learn because there seems to be more exceptions than rules.
To sum up, I believe that knowledge of foreign languages helps to make a person educated and well-rounded. It is not only the language that counts but also the fact that it is a way of getting to know different cultures. You can’t broaden your mind if you see the world only from the perspective of your own culture.

University Interview
Not all universities require IELTS or TOEFL, some can have interviews. If you are given the option, however, you should ask for one.
