Some thoughts:

I think English is a very important language. Many people in the world speak English.
When we work in tourism, we meet many tourists. Many tourists speak English. When we speak English, we can talk with them. We can help them find a room. We can help them take a car or a bus.
Tourists feel happy when they understand us. When we speak English, we can get a better job. We can work in hotels, restaurants, and travel places. We can also work in other countries. We can get more money.
English helps us every day at work. English is good for us and for the tourists. This is why I want to learn English.
And so does her friend, Rina.
