According to the articles that I read about the current situation of languages, specially English, I think that as English teachers we must study a lot to reach a high proficiency in order to give our best. By the other hand it is very important to learn another languages because the new demands will require that we speak more than two languages fluently. Nowadays, English is an important language that is used wideworld for business, communication, internet, etc. and it gives you the opportunity to have a better life because it opens doors in all the aspects.
About the present and future of English, I work in a bilingual school and the idea is that our students reach a high level of proficiency in English and we are working very hard to get it. But sometimes I think that as teachers, specially at the school where I work, we need more information and help to get our goal. I think that to reach the goal of our Government to become a bilingual country, we have a long way to go... because there are many factors that are involved in this porpose.
We should feel worry about English future because the number of English speakers is tending to decrease with the past of the time because of the economical hegemony of another countries like China.

English has been a key to open different doors- doors that lead to knowledge, to science, to work, and even to love. I do not think that the number of English speakers will decrease with time. Perhaps the number of adult learners will. But I do believe as Graddol predicts that other languages will find their way to internationalization.
