  1. I value English immersion due to following reasons:
    1)The people who value education need to be aware of fact and not the emotions.
    2)The people would have a more open mind and an understanding and patience for others who aren’t like them.
    3)The most important thing that schools can do is to make people aware that understanding the world is very much part of the requirement of being an educated person. There should be some shame attached to not being more aware of the world, not having some mastery of foreign language.
