Others are teenagers. Many are adults. Some learn at school, others study by themselves. A few learn English
just by hearing the language in films, on television, in the office or among their friends. But not many are lucky
enough to do that. Most people must work hard to learn another language.
Many boys and girls learn English at school because it is one of their subjects. They study their own
language, mathematics, and English. In England, America, or Australia, many boys and girls study their native
language, which is English, mathematics, and another language, perhaps French, or German or Spanish.
Many adults learn English because it is useful for their work. Teenagers often learn English for their
higher studies, because some of their books are in English at college or university. Others learn English because

men, women also make major life decisions. Women have stood against dowry and domestic violence. Even in
the workplace, they fight against sexual abuse and inequality. Child marriage is being stopped in many
communities. Men now play a role in child raising and household activities just like women. Both men and
women now share their responsibilities both home and outside. Women now stand against any discrimination
and torture. There have been lots of gender- issue related movements and many social organizations now fight
for women's rights. Women are now getting power even in rural areas. In many countries now women are the
