I am sure knowledge of foreign languages is power. The more languages a man knows the greater power ne has. English is the language of the international documents, contracts and negotiations. People who know foreign languages are in great demand in our country and in our city. English helps people of different countries to develop friendship and understanding. I think the knowledge of English is absolutely necessary for every educated person.
