Write about the following topic: Every year several languages die out. Some people think that this is not important because life will be easier if there are fewer languages in the world. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

There can be various reasons for a
language
to be extinct. Some people believe that it would be better if there are fewer
languages
in the world so people will live a better life. In my point of view, it is a tragedy if a
language
dies out.
Firstly
, every
language
holds a piece of the past and culture as a medium.
For instance
, Oroqen people’s
language
doesn’t have text, and they inherit their story and knowledge through stories from word-of-mouth. Their
language
is part of the memoir which contains a part of how human beings were developed in
such
an area. The loss of a
language
is the damage of resources that we can gain experience from.
Secondly
, fewer
languages
will not lead to an easier life.
For example
, let’s imagine a world with only one
language
. Different accents in different regions will result in a different custom of
language
using which will
finally
lead to several new
languages
. The obstacle of understanding a completely different accent will not be easier to overcome than understanding a new
language
. The idea of using the same
language
globally has already been dreamed of but failed in the end. So, it’s impractical to attempt to achieve a single-
language
world. In conclusion, the dying of a
language
is a passing of cultural treasure and will not make our life easier.
Also
, saving these
languages
as we can is a serious task for us to save history. Both making them still alive and recording them to make a fossil are possible and practical efforts to save a
language
.
