It is very clear that English should be the primary foreign language taught in all schools around the world. Learning a different language before English is, in today’s world, a waste of time. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

As it has been observed in today's generation we have most of the population speaking in

around the globe. I disagree with the above statement that
English

should be the primary

taught in all schools around the world. It is said that there is
one

we all have in our

. In
this
essay, I will be explaining both views in the following paragraphs. On

there are many barriers he/she can face

On the other hand
, it has been said that learning

is waste of time because we cannot use it in any form. There are many countries
such
as Germany, Spain, Japan and China that does not use

countries communicate in their

for any business purpose.
Moreover
, german, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese are not used in any other
country
apart from their own
country
.
For example
, If we have any Chinese client and he has given business to any Indian person it will become very difficult for an Indian person to speak in Chinese.
Hence
, they do not keep

English
should not be a primary

taught across every school but they must take the initiative to teach basic
English
. So, that any child in future would not face any difficulties if he travels to any other
country
which is been considered as

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
