The development of tourism has contributed to English becoming the most prominent language in the world. Some people think that this will lead to English becoming the only language to be spoken globally. What are the advantages and disadvantages to having one language in the world?

In

this

day and age, more and more contemporary attention has been placed on the opinion that the advent of tourism is a determining factor propelling

English

into the most common

language

in the world.

Therefore

, a lot of perspectives suppose that

this

phenomenon will lead to

English

becoming the sole

one

to be communicated globally. In

this

essay, the pros and cons of

this

issue will be discussed. From my point of view, there are two major benefits from only communicating in

English

. The

first

advantage is that global citizens will not concern about the

language

barrier. To be more specific, difficulties and challenges that non-native speakers encounter will be no longer a huge problem,

thus

, the interaction by words among people from different nations will be easier and more convenient.

For instance

, Vietnamese residents, who want to study abroad, will deeply invest their time and effort in pursuing the job that they want to do in the future in lieu of having to devote their time to learning the main

language

of that country. The

second

one

is that those who have a desire to travel or migrate to foreign nations will adopt new environment faster because they are fully aware of the customs, traditions and costumes’ ingenious people.

Besides

cons about the possibility of speaking

one

language

mentioned above, it is undeniable that

this

phenomenon

also

has some noticeable drawbacks. The

first

disadvantage is that the cultural identity of

one

country will be gradually faded since the

mother

language

is the symbol of any nations’ culture in the world,

however

, with less use of it in daily conversations, the erosion of

mother

language

will be an inevitable consequence, leading to a culture lacking its own identity. The

second

one

is that it will take a lot of time and money for the translation.

This

is because people are accustomed to using

English

and

as a result

, they will have a tendency to read all documentaries written in

this

language

instead

of reading ones written in their

mother

language

.

Therefore

, the government has to rent translators to translate the content of all documentaries written in the

mother

language

into

English

. Undoubtedly,

this

is time-consuming and money-wasting. In conclusion, speaking solely

English

has its own benefits and drawbacks, so it is a need to consider

this

problem carefully.
