The advantages of the spread of English as a global language will continue to outweigh its disadvantages. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, there is a cultural tendency of spreading

English

around the world, turning it into a global

language

, which has many benefits but

also

causes some negative impacts on people from other nations. In my opinion, I consider that

English

’ spread is unstoppable as it comes naturally with the globalization process.

Likewise

, analysing its pros and cons, I believe that it is much more beneficial for global

communication

.

To begin

with, the globalization process brought the

English

’ spread around the globe as a common way of

communication

being something very helpful for travellers, multinational companies and numerous industries.

For example

, the tourism industry has a predominance of

English

, and even airports have

English

signs, contributing to the understanding and practical

communication

among different cultures and languages.

That is

why I consider so beneficial the increase in the usage of the

English

language

around the globe, in order that other

language

speakers can interact with each other using a common one.

On the other hand

,

English

spreading is

also

bringing with it some negative impacts.

For instance

, it has been claimed that culture and languages rather than

English

are losing their identity as typical words, customs and expressions are being replaced by

English

ones, causing a sense of cultural invasion for many nations.

This

is something definitely critical to deal with, as

this

globalization process is already a fact and it would not stop, which means that every nation would need to focus on how can they revert

this

situation to not lose their characteristic culture. In conclusion,

English

spreading is being more frequent and is reaching every corner of the world, bringing with it some drawbacks like losing cultural identity for some countries.

However

, even if there are some negative effects related to

this

, we cannot deny the excessive benefits that

this

common way of

communication

is bringing to us, which means that

English

as a global

language

outweighs by far its disadvantages.
