Learning English at school is often seen as more important than learning local languages. If these are not taught, many are at risk of dying out. In your opinion, is it important for everyone to learn English? Should we try to ensure the survival of local languages and, if so, how?

In some countries teaching English at schools is becoming more important than teaching the local
language
.
This
may lead to the demise of some languages. Putting English at a higher level of importance

is a very bad idea.

the need for using English on a daily basis in countries where English is not the mother
language
. English should be studied when someone realizes that it’ll be necessary for his or her career. Many people know no English until they are grown up, but they can study it and achieve a

For example
, in 2005 only 30% of the population between 30-40 years old in Brazil knew how to speak English well, but 10 years later, 65% of the population between 40-50 years old were very good English users. Not everyone needs to know English to go through the day.

is a risk that’s not worth taking. Learning English when you are older and out of school is a great way of keeping other languages alive. Letting people who don’t use English every day speak only their own natural
language
is more important than teaching English to them.
