Scientists say that in the future humanity will speak the same language. Do you think this is a positive or negative social development?

#scientists #future #humanity #language #development
The increasing use of some languages has led to a prospect that the world may speak one
language
 in the future. While
this
 has several advantages, I believe that it is an overall negative trend. On the one hand, it is true that having a universal
language
 may remove communication barriers among people in the world.
In other words
, when the world speaks the same
language
,
this
 would result in fewer misunderstandings caused by people using different languages to convey their thoughts. It will
also
 bring new opportunities for people, as people could work for overseas companies, travel to exotic places or live in a foreign country without encountering any significant difficulties in communication. In
this
 way, a predominant
language
 may bridge the gap between diverse groups of people and form a global village where individuals can live in harmony with each other.
On the other hand
, the above positive impacts are negated by potential problems. To explain, if one
language
 were spoken by all people,
this
 would cause the loss of cultural diversity that makes human society interesting. When a
language
 is marginalized, a whole way of life may disappear with it, which includes history, customs and social etiquette.
For example
, the widespread use of English has put some minor and indigenous languages in Africa on the verge of extinction. Without proactive actions to preserve those languages, society might witness the disappearance of the whole culture that has evolved over the course of human history. In conclusion,
although
 a universal
language
 may have several benefits, I firmly hold the view that the drawbacks are more significant.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
