Message for high school students

Language is a fundamental part of communication, and the use of common languages has allowed for an ever-increasing and ever-accelerating sharing of knowledge. As one of the leading global languages, English has facilitated the growth of the internet into the most powerful medium of interaction in the modern era. By using globalized languages, students in all disciplines can expand the breadth of their knowledge, increase their confidence in sharing ideas, and connect with the best people to help them make progress in their work.
