globe.

There are four skills that we have already known in English, namely writing, speaking, reading and listening. Later, the skills should be taught better to master and get complete thought about English itself because each skill has general or specific function in communicating. But we cannot deny that speaking is the most important one for asking information and conversely for delivering information, speaking is the direct system of communication

Speaking is making the use of words in an ordinary voice, offering words, knowing and being able to use a language expressing one-self in words, and making speech (Hornby 1973 : 45).

To overcome the problem arising from the various languages, translation

has a very important role.

Translation will be very important thing to do if we get much information which is written in foreign language. Translation can open the information that early people knew nothing. Even, translation can omit the partition between countries, and means of cooperation, understanding and peace in the world. In addition, in the modern century people  demand to be able to follow the development of the era.
