According to Oxford Dictionaries, 'language' refers to:

the method of human communication, either spoken or written, consisting of the use of words in a structured and conventional way;
the system of communication used by a particular community or country;
the manner or style of a piece of writing or speech

Language is very important to us, because it is a way which we can use to interact with other human beings by expressing our emotions and thoughts through the use of words.

Thus, the aims of this discussion are:
