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

#spread #english #language”
Recent years have witnessed a debate about whether the
advantages
 brought by the
spread
 of
English
 should be given more importance than the
disadvantages
 associated with it as a "global
language
".
While
 many are in demand of support for the latter view, I hold the belief that
English
 as a universal
language
 will provide more benefits. On the one hand, regional languages
such
 as Gujarati, Hindi, etc. are endangered in some of the states in India.
For instance
, parents nowadays enrol their children in schools where the medium of study is
English
.
While
 in our childhood, our schools were studying in the regional
language
 Gujarati only.
This
 is the reason why the regional languages are at risk of extinct.
Therefore
, many believe that the
spread
 of
English
 has more
disadvantages
.
Nevertheless
, people should not ignore the
advantages
 of
English
 as a worldwide
language
.
To begin
 with, globally having one
language
 for standard policy statements could be benefited all countries.
For example
, policymakers at well-known organisations
such
 as the United Nations, WHO, etc. make their policies in one broadly
spread
language
 which most of us can understand.
Moreover
,
English
 could open the door for many talented individuals from under-developed countries to explore their idea outside their borders
as well as
spread
 their knowledge to others in need.
Hence
, we can see a lot of immigrants helped many developed countries.
Thus
, it makes clear that the
advantages
 of
English
 beyond its boundaries are more than the
disadvantages
.
To conclude
 ,
although
 the consideration of a negative development of the
English
language
spread
 is necessary, I believe that a positive development is more impactful.
Therefore
, there is a need to plough ahead with a view that the
advantages
 brought by the
spread
 of
English
 as a "global
language
" will outweigh the
disadvantages
.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.
