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?

The issues of local
languages
extinction have emerged among people who consider learning
English
as an international
language
is more crucial to be taught at school. In my opinion, that learning
English
is important because it is used for communication with society from different countries,
however
, trying to preserve local speech by using it in our daily activities is equally important. Most population acknowledge studying the
English
language
at school as an international
language
, which is used as a mean of communication with a community that use different
languages
, are highly encouraged.
This
gives the opportunity to engage in conversation with citizens from different sides of the world.
In other words
,
this
language
is the bridge between people who do not have similar mother tongues.
As a result
, a person can communicate effectively without feeling any difficulties conveying their thoughts even though they do not have the same mother tongue
language
.
For example
, an international student from Indonesia, who speaks Indonesian, pursuing his degree in Germany where the local
language
in Germany, does not have difficulties doing their daily activities because he uses the
English
language
to communicate. Unlike the
English
language
which is taught globally and become more popular, local
languages
are only taught in a certain school in a particular region which leads to decreasing number of society who speak it.
Then
, one of the solutions to preserve it is by promoting the speech in daily conversation.
That is
because people are capable of mastering multilanguage where they have enough exposure to the use of
language
.
For instance
, the children in Madura island speak Madurese as their daily communication,
however
,
this
does not hinder them from mastering
English
. In conclusion, while the importance of learning
English
is prominent, it cannot prevent the preservation of local
languages
by actively using it in daily conversation.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
