If you liked the Essay Map earlier (http://on.fb.me/11MbBSK), I think you'll love this Compare & Contrast Map! It let's you choose from three formats - compare two whole things, compare the similarities and differences, or compare point bypoint. It then helps you make a detailed plan and brainstorm ideas for each point. Try it out for yourselves using this question and see what you think:

Are electronic books better than traditional paper books? Ebooks are very popular these days but many readers still prefer paper books. In your opinion which is better and why?

Why are you learning English? Is it important?



                               The importance of the language
The language has a huge importance due to be the main tool for communication around the world. Not only help us to share our ideas, thoughts, knowledge but also for making friends, knowing others cultures all over the world and create international relationships especially economic relationships with the richest countries. The importance seems to be very simple since people need to communicate their necessities with others.
Is not a big deal keep on silent for more than three days neither the whole life, it makes us think how much the importance of language is. We have born with this ability to learn a determined sort of group of elements that we call our tongue or mother tongue for expressing in which way we understand our reality. Language allows us to say how we feel if we are happy or sad, agree or disagree, interested or bored and so on. However, people around the world do not speak the same language and it is because every culture has adopted its own way of communication as a result the importance of the language has increased since the people from one country need to communicate with the people from another, that is why people have started to study foreign language because of its huge importance.
Certainly, the importance of the language is clear that if you are a professional and you do not know any foreign language you are out. That is the reason why it has become a necessity for everyone who wants to success in life, I would dare to say we must take care of the language as our precious knowledge.
Summing up the huge importance of the language is evident because its knowledge is an advantage in everyone and everywhere.
