                              English is a language, Not a measure of intelligence



"Oh! How fluent he/she is in English ! or "Oh see, he/she can speak English, How intelligent he/she is! The are very common lines that we often hear. In Asia, it is very much preferred that someone can speak English fluently or know the English language.

We think of the person who knows English, can do many things and anything. Ok, of course, English is a very important language and it is considered as one of the main official languages in the world. The truth is it is a very useful language. But nowadays we , at some point , think that the person or people who can write or speak, are the most knowledgeable. But knowledge or wisdom cannot be measured by a language. English may not be a measure of intelligence but it surely of confidence. Not all people who can speak English are educated or intelligent. Some countries where English is not a first language may find it hard to learn, speak and write but this does not mean that they are not intelligent or educated. For instance, most Japanese or Taiwanese cannot speak English fluently. And it does not state that they are not intelligent or educated. Whereas it is known to all that much of the modernization based on technology developed in these countries. Not all man who can speak English are brilliant.

English is certainly important in the era of globalization. It is the most officially used language all over the world. But it is the second language for people whose mother tongue is not English. Intelligent refers to a person's ability to use his or her brain for the well being of both human and nature. It means that they are able to grasp concepts and builds ideas on them. It also means that they are able to deal with work around solve problems using their own power of deduction and imagination - be it on an exam paper, a boardroom or real life. English, meanwhile, is simply a language. The most universally accepted and respected language no doubt- but just a language. A well-oiled English vocabulary reflects in a person a sound educational background in the language. It means that they've been brought up and groomed in a way as to be well-spoken in English. It may also reflects the person's love for English Literature, language, culture. It does not, however, certify that person's level of intelligence To be intelligent is to know not to make fun of those who may be different from us, but not less smart.

we need to understand that English is a language and it is not a way to measure our smartness or wisdom. Knowledge is something which we can acquire by hard labor and practice. And wisdom requires huge patience along with hard labor. In my point of view, speaking English is an important quality for sure but those who can't speak English fluently are not dumb or not smart. They are also respectable and intelligent at the same time. We should change the way of our thinking. Everyone was born with certain talent.
