学好英语很重要
There are many companies around the world. Their head offices(总部) are not in English-speaking countries, such as companies in Japan and France. But their workers are speaking English as their working language.
For example, Keiko Claassen comes from the Netherlands(荷兰). And she speaks Dutch. She works in a company based in Italy. But she has to speak English when working and talking with others. English is not considered as an official(官方的) language for her company. But the 4,500 workers come from different countries, including Japan, China, India and Germany. And they can only talk with each other in English.
Business people have to do their businesses around the world now, not only in a small part. So if they want to do well in business and make more money, they have to learn English well.
