English is necessary to make the peace. As we need all the ten countries to work together and to keep the region safe. We won’t let terrorists, pirates, and drugs come to ruin our countries. Besides, our countries don’t fight one another. The government, the head of army and the one who concern of each country have to share ideas and knowledge to make agreements among the countries. So English is the tool to convey the meaning of our ideas and knowledge to the others.
P2 is prosperity. When ASEAN community is peace, there will be more inventors, and then economic will be developed strongly. There will be more jobs and opportunities. We are able to work in any ASEAN countries. It means English has to play the very important role for negotiation in business, for accessing to a lot of information about trade and investment and for working.
P3 is people’s quality of life. After ASEAN countries get peace and prosperity, the people’s quality of life will be improved. Then we will enjoy improving our quality of life. English will be used officially in working together to make strong family, clean and green environment and learn from one another in ASEAN University.
So we can see that without English we can’t express ideas and share experiences to make agreement with one another. Peace will not happen. Without English, we can’t negotiate in business effectively. The trade cooperation among ASEAN will not happen. Without English, we can’t share our ideas, experiences and prosperity to one another.
As the youth of ASEAN citizen, we shouldn’t prepare ourselves not only to gain knowledge about ASEAN, but also prepare ourselves to gain abilities in using English to communicate with the others effectively.
