English at the University


English is a language that has grown so much that it has become almost a universal language. It is so necessary now to understand and speak English, that many doors are closed to the people who have not mastered it. That is the reason that I think that is extremely important that we as future professionals have mastered the English to face the world ahead, a world where English is a language that enables communication with almost all the countries.

A good university is one that takes care about training professionals with knowledge not only of the area in where they will work, but also in other areas. English is one of these areas, and one of the most important. Learning English enables a professional to have more opportunities to study and work abroad; enabling expands more the knowledge that they have received at the University, adding to this the experience that they acquired as a coexistence with people of other countries.

For me it is of great importance to learn English in order to travel abroad and to know how to apply what I have learned to the culture of other countries, providing my knowledge and learning of people that practice my profession in a different way or that apply another areas that I don’t know.

In this sense I am very happy with my University, because English is inserted in the curriculum of the careers, that give us a "plus" and allows us to extend our learning to other places where research and findings are more and with a bigger importance, that can provide us a much more advanced knowledge.

Another benefit of learning English in the University is that English is more inclined to the area in which we will work. Therefore, we can get a better vocabulary in health and also to learn how to speak to and care for a patient in English. This will allow in the future that if we travel to another country where English is spoken, we will don’t have so many difficulties to adapt to our workplace.
