“Perhaps of all the creations of man, language is the most astonishing.” (Lytton Strachey) SECOND DRAFT

         Along the centuries, people tried to invent something steadfast in order to make life easier. In such a way they invented language and this is considered to be man’s best and astonishing creation. This invention has a great contribution to the development of the entire society. Language is a communicative tool that people use in the everyday life: while talking, writing or even while dreaming.
         The need to interact with each other made people create a system of communication which would facilitate their life. Language is the main tool and means of transmitting, sharing, informing and accumulating information. It is not only about vocabulary which language consists of. It is more complex. It comprises gestures, mimics and signs through which, people perceive the surrounded world. Language is essential to every aspect in our everyday life. Whatever the situation is, people need and use language. By this fact that people communicate with each other verbal or non-verbal, makes them, as a human race, be unique because none of the other creatures possesses such ability of speaking.
         Due to appearance of language, people started to record some important events, marked dates or interesting facts they could trace. Thus, writing appeared as another way of communication. That is why there are nowadays pieces of information of the ancestors who depicted the movements and changes throughout the centuries. In other words, due to language, one can get closer to the history while analyzing and reading documents. Also, on the strength of this fact, one can record the information for the further generation. In fact, language is the only opened access to the world.
         I strongly believe that without this astonishing creation, human beings wouldn’t have developed so much, they would have remained at the stage of homo sapiens. Language helped the human race to grow and it is still developing in different branches.
