English – a world language
There is almost a billion people in the world who can speak, read and write English
...
Is this a positive thing or a
negative thing?
Let us discuss this a little, shall we? Well, for starters, if we all spoke the same
language, we would be able to understand each other much easier
...
On the other hand, for us who speak more than one language, would we lose a bit of
our nationality if we were not allowed to speak one of them? If we “lost” our language,
would we feel less like a country? Would we feel like we lost a part of our culture?
Besides, I am convinced that you can never fully translate something
...
But then again, if we did not speak English – a language many people can speak
...
We are not able to learn everyone’s native
language
...
I bet this would
create a lot of frustration too
...
Not
only would we lose something we have spoken our whole life, we would also lose our
freedom of speech
...
Another thing to consider is that in the 21th century people are traveling more and
more
...
To have a global language is very helpful
...
Maybe you have to
ask where the supermarket is

For example, in China there is almost nobody that speaks English
...
Most
times, you just have to give up because you do not understand each other
...
We had to choose restaurant with
picture menus, that way we could point at what we wanted to eat
...
If we did not speak two languages, as people in most countries does today
...
Take doctors or surgeons for example, if we did
not communicate and learn new things from one another, patients would be sick for a
longer period
...
Simply because we would not be
able to understand
...
We would have no chance of either seeing or helping
...
Read blogs and follow people from other countries on Instagram and Tumblr
...
This would be impossible if we only spoke our native language
...
This way we
would not lose a part of our culture and we would understand each other
