Language. What is language? For me, language is a way of communication of thoughts and feelings of people. Those are words we express through feelings. Every country has its own language and every people master their own language. Sometimes, they learn other language for additional knowledge or for fun. Without language, we cannot understand one another and we could not say what we would like to say.

 Here in our own country, we have two main languages: the English and Filipino language. If I were to choose between the fluency in the English language and mastery of the native language, I would choose the fluency in English language. The first reason is because English is the universal language and it helps to communicate not only to the people in our country but as well as to the people in other country.  By this way, we can be globally competitive. Another reason is because English is the main language all over the world and when we learn another language, it uses the translation in English. So the English language can be a way for us to learn another language of our choice. And since each one of us is required to speak in English because we are in a Science High School, it means that we have to be fluent in speaking English. It would be a shame to us speaking English in the wrong grammar because we studied English well and until now, learning to be fluent in speaking the English language.

Being fluent in the English language is what I prefer more. It is because I believe more in global communication than being used to what is not new to us. But in times, we need not to forget about our own native language. It builds the unity of us Filipinos.
