"Dire need for English to be a must-pass subject" by Lavanya Lingan - third entry

Based on the article by Lavanya Lingan, “Dire need for English to be a must-pass subject” dates 25^th February 2013 taken from NST is about the student who takes the Sijil pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) must be serious to pass in English subject. I strongly agree with the issue that is being discussed about, because after students leave school they will carry on their study to the upper level such as college or university. Thus, they will face the challenges in their upper level study in exposure of using the English language such as to do the assignment, references and while study in the class also. If they do not constantly using the English language since school, I believe they will not achieve their success in the future. Why I say it like that? Because I believe that having the knowledge in study of English language is the more important thing in life if they want to be successful. As we know, English has been placed as second important language in Malaysia. Thus, the residents in Malaysia are needed to learn and practice the English language as well.

Besides, the quotation from the article, “…necessary measures to improve facilities and train teacher have to be taken to ensure student will not suffer at the end of the day” it is right because I believe this is one of the best way to do some alteration if they want the student to be successful by using English language. I think the government should take the responsibility in this issue by providing good trainer teachers such as teachers from overseas.
