    Ans.1>
    I use Wikipedia as a source of knowledge. As our school education depends on the subjects mostly decided by the state government authorities, some crucial knowledge stays out of reach. Wikipedia makes it possible to search and learn about these kinds of subjects & contents. For example, Extra-terrestrial Life, Ancient Egyptian Life, Emerging Technologies, etc.
    Ans.2>
    It also made my command over English language more powerful in both speaking and writing skills. When you know most about any subject it gives you the confidence to speak and write fluently, which becomes necessary in today’s world.
    Ans. 3>

  8. Wikipedia is currently available in 287 language versions. It is about different many languages. We can learn target language using different articles about languages. It is very useful for learners. We can easily find texts about topics that are interesting to us in the language we want and that is convenient to use. There are such data bases available on the internet and many people put a lot of effort in collecting texts and providing the technical support to make language as easy as possible.
