In spoken language sometimes you may avoid the articles and you go unnoticed. However, in written language it will sound not so good. Grammar is the beauty of any language so we should admire it and try to learn and adapt.

Articles are important in English. They are used to specify whether a noun is a specific thing

Hmmmmm, I wonder how authoritative that article was?
As a teacher, I guarantee that students who do not use 'articles' correctly will suffer the wrath of my red pencil.
I'm sure too, if you went to any another country and chose to not use the grammatical rules of that language correctly, your work would be less respected there.

I'm from Russia and i must say that your language is more simple than Russian. Really. But your language has one very difficult thing - ARTICLES.

the second sentence just doesn't make sense.

it is mostly tradition. Also "a" can mean any, and "the" means "specific one"
