Band 6

An international language would remove one of the main differences which separates people of different nationalities and this would lead to greater international understanding and co-operation. There should be one international language which everyone agrees to learn and speak. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It has often been suggested that we should all learn to speak an international
language
, and both artificial and natural languages, including Esperanto, Latin and English, have been put forward at various times in history as candidates to fill
this
 role. The arguments in favour of an international
language
 are both ideological and practical.
Firstly
, it is sometimes said
that linguistic
Accept comma addition
that, linguistic
 diversity divides people and leads to conflict.
In other words
, if we removed
language
 differences, we would find it easier to understand each other's point of view and,
as a result
, co-operate more easily.
Secondly
, it is argued that if everyone learned the same
language
, a great deal of time-consuming and expensive translation work would no longer be necessary, and
this
 would be of great benefit to international trade.
Finally
, it is generally agreed that a common
language
 would make international travel much easier for everyone.
However
, there are strong arguments against the introduction of an international
language
. To start with, it is often pointed out that while an international
language
 might
initially
 facilitate communication, some people believe all languages tend to divide into dialects, some of which cannot always be understood by all native speakers.
Secondly
, it is often claimed that an international
language
 would eventually come to dominate over, and in some cases cause the disappearance of less widely-spoken languages.
Furthermore
, as culture and
language
 are closely associated, it is generally believed that the threat to
minority languages
Suggestion
the minority languages
 posed by an international one would
also
 mean a threat to their related cultures. The result would be a dull world, lacking in both linguistic and cultural diversity. On balance, I believe that it would be undesirable to impose an international
language
 on the world. I doubt that an international
language
 would bring about international peace, and the disappearance of minority languages and cultures would be a sad loss.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
