What Will I Choose?

What Will I Choose?

          Every student of Cavite National Science High School is required to speak in English. I think the reason for having this rule is to teach us, the students to communicate and to develop our self-confidence every time we are encountering different people. But, how about our native tongue, the Filipino language? Many people are questioning, why do we need to speak in English if it is not our original language? There are many opinions about this matter. Try to look on its positive side and you will know its importance.

          Everyday in our school, we must speak in English or else we will have deductions in our grades. Since I was in first year in Cavite National Science High School we are required to do so. But in my first and second year life this rule was not followed seriously but now that I am in third year high school, our teacher in English had a rule that for every Filipino word that we will say is equivalent to 1 minus. At first, it was hard for me to follow. Every day I have more than 20 tallies. But when the time passes by, I was able to speak in English fluently. But there will be an instance that I am committing wrong grammars.

          I prefer to use our native tongue, the Filipino language because it was our language since we are born. But I am not telling that I don’t like to use English language.
