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?

Languages
are a wonderful thing. Through them we are able to express,

interact with other people. Every
country
has its own
language
and until some centuries ago it was still impossible to communicate with people from other countries, as there logically did not understand each other's sayings.
That is
the reason why the world decided on a lingua franca, a globally spoken
language
, which is in our time
English
.
This

is rumoured to be more important to learn in

than

.
English
is in our times the only way to communicate globally and ensures a better future due to more possibilities. As an example, some schools would ban the

from their schedule,

the importance of the

is not to be dismissed as both, in my opinion, are equally important. Local
languages
are mirroring the tradition and heritage of a
country
and without ,them a

would lose its personality. If

academy puts no effort into ensuring the survival of local

, their pupils would lose touch with their origin and distance themself from who they really are and whom they came from. In order for
this
not to happen and
therefore
to ensure the survival of local
languages
the Government could set up rules in the education systems which forces the
school
to teach their pupils their local
languages
. To sum up, I am of the Opinion that everyone should learn
English
, as it's the only way to communicate globally.
