The importance of English

[Rachel Adams]

Do the parts marked by asterisks sound idiomatic and grammatical?

A lot of information about medicine is published in English, *which is often absent in a native language*. *This knowledge* helps expand *the horizons* and in some cases, it can help *save the health.* English helps me *look for* useful information *in my job/work* hobby and sport. I use *spoken English* in my *work/job.*

Should I use "in my work" or "job" and "the horizons" instead of "the horizon"?

The whole thing is incohesive. Are those supposed to be individual sentences? If so, then start a new thread for each.

For the first one you want to say that a lot of medical information is published in English and not other languages.

I would say I speak English at work.

No, it's one piece. It's about why it's important to speak English. Do the marked parts sound unnatural?

But what has medical books being published in English got to do with saving the Earth?!

Not Earth but heath. Do they all sound wrong? :S

Sorry, my mistake. I think I need more sleep!
I still think the whole thing is not very natural. It doesn't actually say much.

 

[Tarheel]

I suppose that any medical information expands our horizons. (It can potentially be life-saving.)

Is this one on topic, @emsr2d2 ?

Can I use : A lot of medical information which/that is often unavailable in one's native language is published in English. This knowledge expands the horizon and can save a patient. (Save the health was used to imply how important that information can be) English helps me *look for* useful information for my work, hobby and sport. I use English at work. As Tarheel suggested.

Still not sure if it should be "expand the horizon", "expand horizon" without the article or "the horizons." I used either "which is unavailable or"that is unavailable."

 

[Tarheel]

Perhaps:

A lot of information about medicine is published in English, and it's not translated into every other language.

@Rachel Adams You seem to be insisting on using "native language", but I'm not sure how to work that in there.

As far as saying you use English at work, I guess that's okay, but that wasn't my suggestion.

A lot of information about medicine is published in English, *which is often absent in a native language*.

This doesn't work at all. Use something like "... published in English, but unfortunately not in many other languages".

*This knowledge information* helps can help expand *the people's horizons* and, in some cases, it can even help *save the improve people's health.*

See my comment at the bottom of my post.

English helps me *look for* find useful information *in regarding/about sport, my job /work* and my hobbies. and sport.

I don't know how this fits with the rest. It's got nothing to do with information about medicine. I can't believe that you're suggesting that you need to be able to speak English to find information about sport and hobbies. It's available online in just about every language in the world.

I use *spoken English* in my *work/job.* at work.

That's the natural way of expressing it.

I'm still not sure if it should be "expand the horizon", "expand horizon" without the article or "expand the horizons." I used either "which is unavailable or "that is unavailable."

None of them work. We say "expand one's horizons" (or replace "one's" with another possessive).

I've noticed that there are a lot of double spaces in your text. Make sure you use just one space between words.
