• 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? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
In the contemporary era,
language
is a mode of communication between humans. Most education institutes emphasise and focus on the students to learn English
as it is an international language
. Whilst, other people
consider that local languages
should be equally advocated to concentrate in the academic arena because native languages
are as important as foreign. In this
essay, I will be lighting up on both aspects. Although
, I strongly believe that bilingualism can open a myriad of career opportunities in life.
To begin
with, learning English
is pivotal in this
competitive society as it is a language
which recognised worldwide and spoken by many foreign countries. In addition
, starting to learn it at the initial level can plethora of benefits for individuals such
as opening new gates of success and familiarity with other nations. Furthermore
, it gives confidence to individuals while
interacting and meeting. Many people
are planning to study or working in abroad and most of them struggle with language
as it overcomes this
language
barrier problem. So, an individual can understand and communicate well in the society.
On the other hand
, despite English
other native languages
also
play a vital role. For instance
, people
can easily travel and understand local traditions. Moreover
, bilingualism also
uplifts a person's listening skills and memory as it also
creates a brotherhood among people
. In addition
, due to
knowledge of local languages
, a person can participate in many multi-national cultural events. Thus
, the government should encourage people
to learn local languages
as it is pivotal for a person's development and provides cultural diversity to a country which is a main attraction for other countries.
To conclude
, I opine that English
is important for people
to interact freely and confidently throughout the globe. Whereas
, the local languages
are the heritage of any country as it is a tourist attraction and many people
are influenced by local culture through native languages
