301 FRESHMAN ENGLISH - I
Introduction:
The usefulness of English Language cannot be denied. It enriches our thought and culture, and
provides us with the most important vehicle of expression. It has opened for us several doors of
light and knowledge, for it is the Lingua Franca of the world and the language of science,
technology, commerce and diplomacy. Without English we shall be handicapped in our
advancement and out progress will be seriously retarded in several important spheres of life. To
give it up means putting the hands of the clock back by more than a century, to take several
steps backwards, to surrender ground which has been gained through persistent toil and labor,
to lose the front seat in international forums and to miss the opportunity of having a direct
impact on the other people’s minds.
