The advantages brought by the spread of English as “a global language” will outweigh the disadvantages. Do you agree or disagree with this view?

Recent years have witnessed the growth of using

English

as a common

language

in all countries.

However

, controversies about whether there are more benefits to speaking

English

than drawbacks. In

this

essay, I will include both advantages and disadvantages in order to show

this

global

language

is advantageous to the community.

To begin

with,

English

breaks down the communication barrier.

Besides

British and America,

English

is a well-known

second

language

for all foreign countries.

Although

other communication methods

such

as French and Japanese are common, a deficient amount of residents know these as not many people have extra time to learn a

third

language

.

For instance

, Hong Kong is an international city and ambitious professionals come to participate in an array of job opportunities and devote their capabilities. There is no denying that

English

is essential to understand each other, albeit an understanding profile or record is attained. Using the same communication method not only allows for improving one's relationship but

also

expands a city's economy,

hence

, these advantages may improve the public's quality of life.

On the other hand

, the spread of

English

may be a burden to one's society. Regarding

English

being popular, most countries are using it, even though it is not their major option.

Nevertheless

,

this

leads to a trend of reducing the community's

first

language

at a dramatic rate. As an example, China's native speakers are mostly renowned for speaking Cantonese and Putonghua. Since the majority are now focusing on speaking

English

nowadays, some opposers may argue that their main

language

is being overtaken,

likewise

, the discrimination between two regions may increase.

Consequently

, disadvantages include losing the reputation of their own

language

may lead to more controversies. To conclude, it is ascertained that spreading

English

to all regions may contain both merits and shortcomings.

However

, I firmly believe that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. It is because learning more languages allows residents to broaden their horizons and

this

contains no harm.

As a result

,

this

influence will not affect one country's major

language

, inasmuch as they speak it frequently.
