MUSICEASY8 PRESENTS: English is a Language Not a Measure of Intelligence
This is so true that English is a language and not to be used as a measure of once intelligence. Not all people who can speak English is educated or intelligent. Foreign countries where English is not their first language may find it hard to speak English but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t intelligent. Like for instance, most Japanese or Taiwanese cannot speak English fluently. But that doesn’t mean that they are less educated than other foreign land that can speak English easily. And not all men who can speak English are brilliant. Yes they can speak but do they really know what they are trying to say? Or if they can speak English does it mean that they already have the right to discriminate others who can’t speak?
In our country, some doesn’t mind speaking English at all. But some who may heard somebody speaking English may think that he’s rich, comes from a well known family, or attending a university school. That’s the common instinct once we have heard somebody who effortlessly speaks English even in a small conversation with friends. Specially if the person speaks well and pronounces each word fluently. However there are misconception for some that we shouldn’t measure once capacity or intelligence by the language he uses. He can be good in English but can he do other things than just speaking that language? English can really be a difficult language to start with. But with once perseverance and the willingness to learn even a grade school pupil in public school can speak English but he doesn’t need to be a top student or he doesn’t need to be rich. If he’s willing to learn he can easily learn it for sure.
Once ability doesn’t need to be measured by the way he speak. There are a lot of rich people who discriminate others and think that they are way better than others. But the way they treat people shows more of how they are more illiterate than those who cannot speak English. If one knows how to treat their fellowmen right and respect one another there’s no need which language they are using for as long as anyone can understand the language of a righteous man.
