Draft Work

There have been many clear effects/results of the spreading of English on different people all around the world from West to East,from North to South.However,I want to give examples from my own country,Turkey.Firstly English is being spoken by at least half of the world's population either as a mother language or a second foreign language.It is used in negotiations between world's richest and most powerful countries like The USA,UK or Canada.The undeveloped or developing countries are forced to learn English to understand and keep up with the globalisation amongst these countries..In Turkey,because Turkey has not developed enough to supply its needs itself,It has to be in touch with The West.As a result of that,Turkey must give priority to English.We are to  follow the scientific developments of them.However here appears a problem.It is language,mostly English.We should learn it anyhow to get these progresses.Another result of English's rising on my own country is that it has been affecting us both in terms of culture and social life since the last 200 years of The Ottoman Empire..For example,When you  wander in the streets of such cities as Istanbul,Ankara,Izmir or Antalya,you surely come across interesting signboards or shopnames which consist of half English and half Turkish.It is an effect of English's rising in our country.The peoples of these cities.not all of them,though,tend to speak half English half Turkish to make themselves seem to be different.Such as, instead of saying "cay ocagı" some even dare to write "Tea January".And also many people from especially urban areas get dressed in the same way as The Americans or The English do.Our people have changed or are changing their eating,drinking,sleeping,walking,playing,watching habits even sitting just because English has spread and is becoming a world-language.We are watching their films,cartoons and trying to imitate their culture.The last/third consequence of English's being popular is that there are many books,dictionaries,booklets,course packs published in English.Many stationeries have a lot of English-Turkish dictionaries even for an elementary school student.In our education system,English is an obligatory second language.It is another effect.There are many courses,language offices regarding English all over Turkey.We,students of Turkey,are to buy books regarding English to finish our education or be more successful and We have to pay too much money for them.To sum up,English has spread,is spreading and will continue to spread all over the world similar to or different from the way it has spread in my own country(I don't know how it will all over the world)
