Importance of the English Language (Edited)

With the spread of western influences, the ability to write and speak English proficiently has become very important in our lives. English is used regularly in our daily lives. For example, through the course of our education, English is the main language used for writing, presentations and also for communication with our peers.  Having a good grasp of written English would allow one to convey ideas clearly to another person with the least chance of having any miscommunication and this is also key in any future profession as cases of misunderstandings arising from badly written electronic mail are not unheard of.
