Some local languages are becoming extinct. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

The process of globalization is gradually changing our traditions.
Besides
costumes, local languages are moving towards extinction.
This
can be caused by many factors. In
this
essay, I would explore some of the motivations for
this
trend and share my opinion about the topic. As I wrote in the introduction, one of the reasons why
this
is happening is globalization. In the modern world, we are required to change our way to talk and write in order to communicate with a wider number of people from anywhere around the globe. In fact, English is becoming as important as the national idiom.
However
,
this
phenomenon is not something new. Even in the past, foreign trade influenced idioms.
For example
, some people argue that the British accent is a consequence of the contact with the French. Are all the languages at the same level of risk? In my opinion, some of them are too relevant in terms of culture to be lost.
Therefore
, the idioms that are exposed at a high level of risk are those that are talked about among small minorities. Regional dialects,
for instance
, could gradually get extinct. In other terms, the more people speak it the less likely is to extinction.
Moreover
, a vast literature is a deterrent to the phenomenon. In conclusion, communication is becoming easier but, at the same time, we could lose our cultural identity. Despite
this
may sound dramatic, I think it is a normal process of evolution.
Thus
, I would say, it is a positive development.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

  • for example
  • for instance
