Globalisation has highlighted the need for international communication.It is iften argued that english should be a compulsory subject for all school children around the world. Other argue that this would do more harm than good.

As globalization develops, differences between
countries
are decreasing, leading to a new necessity of fast and easy communication accessible to everyone. A reasonable solution could be to make mandatory studying
English
from an early
age

this
is not a suitable solution for everyone. I personally believe
such
measures would be way more beneficial than harmful, despite that I will discuss both points of view in
this
essay. Some argue that learning
English
at
such
early ages will affect how children learn their mother tongue, delaying not only their first words but
also
the acquisition of a wider vocabulary. Admittedly, those infants who are in contact with more than one language at an early
age
take 15% longer to say their first words;
while
regular children speak for the first time around the
age
of 11 months old, the second ones talk around 1.3 years old.
However
, even though they start later, at the
age
of three years old bilingual children are able to dominate their two languages just as

as those who only speak one. Another remarkable reason is that those who speak better
English
will be more likely to leave the country they were born in to look for fairer job opportunities in
English
-speaking nations.
According to
The New York Times, already in ,2021 34% of New York City's population were first-generation immigrants and 88% of them spoke an almost native
English
level. In my opinion,
such
a situation would not take place if
countries
would provide their citizens with decent
jobs
. Some others, myself included, are strong defenders of
such
measures. Setting up an
English
training program at
such
early ages would not only save time and money for students who would have to learn the language afterwards but
also
make them strongly valuable for a variety of job positions, inside and outside their
countries
.
For instance
, tourism-oriented
jobs
are strongly demanded these days in
countries
such
as Spain, France and Italy,

there are not enough people able to speak

at the level required.
Moreover
, health-related
jobs
such
as medical doctors or nurses are much needed in
English

countries
, and every year many vacancies open for international workers only. Taking these
jobs
would not only help people on an individual level but

nations in a wider way

since many shortages would be covered. In conclusion,
although
some may resist, mandatory
English
lessons at school would benefit not only human beings but
also
nations, and it is only a matter of time before we take the next step towards
such
change.
