It is a fact that there are a lot of languages in this world, but every year several of the languages just disappear. A group of people believe that the extinction of some languages is not a crucial problem since communication will be more effective with fewer languages.To what extent do you agree or disagree.

If some
language
dies out and we are having fewer languages, in my opinion, that does not mean it is a raising problem for its nation as long as they have their own way of communication,
firstly
among themselves, and
secondly
with other nations.
Subsequently
, it could be an advantage
on the other hand
.
First
, the reason why a
language
turns out to be extinct , is either it is an extremely ancient
language
or it is not flexible enough to cope with life-movement
in other words
. The notion may sound sad,
however
, nothing really could be done in
this
regard, as evolution takes place and plays its magic in order to provide some other intelligent alternatives.
Additionally
, opposite to what many may think that it is a baulk at identity, I reckon the loss of a
language
opens a channel for the identity to express itself as a new version.
For example
, I came from a country with a very famous and dead
language
which is “the ancient Egyptian
language
”.
This
language
could not resist being a rigid tool in front of modernity. Alternatively, Egyptians developed the current dialect which is a mixture of the ancient
language
, Turkish, Persian and Arabic, with standard Arabic being the official
language
. In my view,
this
has enabled us of having an efficient communication and learning process, as Arabic is more resilient when it comes to translation and education.
Furthermore
, having fewer languages
also
supports the idea of easier transmission of information. As I mentioned above in the previous example, having one
language
as a mutual
language
that many people and communities can speak, has paved the way for fluent communication and connection. It is undeniable, if each community maintained merely their own dialect over the years, it would have been an obstacle for everyone. Since in order to deal with the external world - at the end of the day- you need to learn the most common and popular
language
,
hence
more time and effort are spent.
For instance
, different societies within one country,
such
as India, who speak different languages need eventually to learn English to communicate.
Likewise
, European nations communicate mainly in English. In conclusion, the loss of a tongue is a blessing in disguise.
Although
some people may feel it is a setback, it is a step forward in terms of growing a better expression of identity, and a smarter connection with the rest of the world.

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.
