    English represents the key to open the door of a better paid work , for working at an International level for this reason the China has decided to start learning English since first level of school with mother-tongue teachers arrived directly from England. I knew some of them during my 1-month period of work there…. But this opportunity is reserved only to middle and high class not for the poor people that in China are the most part.

    Ah, so you’ve seen it first hand @sabri .

    Here you don’t need ‘a’ because work is uncountable: English represents the key to open the door of better paid work or English represents the key to open the door of a better paid JOB

    And China doesn’t need ‘the’

    Hi @sabri

    Am posting some corrections here. Have a look and let me know if you have any questions

    1. I think of AN English mother tongue with a perfect accent … I know some guys from London or countryside near it that speaks a perfect, scholastic accent. I don’t know if is due their provenance. 2. My favourite accent is THAT WHICH I can understand without great DIFFICULTY !!!! 3.My favourite thing is that for a European citizen THE use of English is fundamental for working at EU level. 4 Probably the denaturation of native language due to incorrect use ( GRAMMAR and accent, tone) of a lot of people of different languages that use English TO communicate between THEMSELVES 5 At this point the English is the only possibility …. the international language. 6 In italy is important if you have a JOB AT a level WHERE you have TO exchange with other countries.
