Most students ask why English majors study English literature when they study at School of Foreign languages of TVU. Some people think that it is a compulsory and boring subject. However, some are interested in English literature because of excellent and valuable works of famous author’s all over the world. For me, I really enjoy English literature due to my time of inspiration and creativity.

Firstly, literature arouses our mind to enter literacy passion through abundant and attractive plots of epics, short stories or plays. For example, when you experience a work, you will get deeper understanding of the characters, human aspirations through various historical periods and traditions such as Beowulf, a brave hero as well as Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury tales reflecting satires and various social statues in each tale.

Secondly, English literature also helps you learn more both about the English language and aesthetic humanity. In other words, literature learners are able to expand useful knowledge such as vocabulary, sentence structures and the like. In fact, you can express your emotions or reflections and improve your own writing skills.

Additionally, you are able to discover a variety of multicultural aspects in each work by studying English literature. Surely, you experience characters’ thought and then, you learn, practise morals and get aware of thorough perception through characters’ personality traits whenever you analyze a piece of work.

In short, literature lectures help us to experience time of fun, pleasure and even improvement through precious lessons, quotes and sayings from typical works.
