English: Starting with Phonetic Symbols

What is English good for? It can open the door to more careers. Programming, for example, uses English code; you can make games, work as a translator, or teach English. You can go abroad, where some countries offer good pay and no overtime or rat race. In the United States, for example, one dollar is worth seven renminbi, so even just washing dishes could let you retire many years earlier. Most places in the world speak English. If you have money, you can also get into foreign trade, such as collecting old clothes from different households and selling them in Africa, or importing medicine from India. These places were once British colonies, so people speak English there. English can help you score points on exams and boost your personal appeal. If you want to change your fate, you need more opportunities, and English can help you access them. You can also use it to show off. If you want to learn English with immediate, twice-the-results-for-half-the-effort progress, start from Chapter 61.
