Language Important or Not????

"Is really language important to us?", this question always play in my mind as a student. For me language is very important not just because it is how we communicate each other it is because our language is the identity of our own country.
There are so many kinds of languages one of this is english or known as the international language in the whole wide world. Its is called international language because it use by different countries. Here at our own country we also use english as language but the most common is our own Filipino language. We use Filipino language as our dialect in communicating with one another.
As a student I need to learn more different languages so whenever i will go abroad I can communicate with them using their own language. Let us enhance our language skills by reading different books that is in different language.
