Agree or Disagree essay sample (Saving languages)

Every year several languages die out. Some people think that this is not important because life will be easier if there are fewer languages in the world.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion.

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

A life with limited choices seems attractive to some people because it reduces confusion. This way of thinking is also believed by many when it comes to languages. As more and more people learn another language, several languages are on the verge of extinction. This essay will discuss the writer’s opinion on why it is certainly wrong to think that having fewer languages can make life less complicated.

The idea of globalization has made learning languages popular in these modern times. For now, English has dominated the academics and business world making it the most ideal language to learn and speak. In addition, countries that are superior in many fields are mostly English-speaking nations. As a result, people who live in deprived situations prioritize learning a global language, like English, as their ticket to a better future. Unfortunately, if this continues, native languages that are spoken by only a handful of individuals will surely disappear in the near future.

Perhaps it has already been forgotten that a language is part of its origin’s culture. This is the tool used to help spread and understand the traditions and beliefs of even the most remote tribes from the farthest of places. Once a language disappears, so too does the identity of a certain culture. When this happens, we will probably not completely comprehend why one person or group behaves in a certain way that they do; therefore, misunderstanding can be more common.

In conclusion, I certainly think that the world will be less interesting and unamusing. People will not have anything special to share and explain to one another when we speak the same tongue.  Finally, speaking one language does not necessarily guarantee that life will be simpler.

Cambridge 11 Test 3 Writing Task 1

Sample: The data from the line graph illustrates the carbon dioxide emissions of an average individual per metric tonnes in four European countries every decade from 1967-2007.A closer look at the data highlights the fact that among the 4 nations, the UK has the highest rate in carbon dioxide emissions per person in 40 years. In 1967, there was approximately 11 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide released by an average Englishman which was about ten times higher than the emissions made by an individual from Portugal. However, it can be seen that as time went by, the carbon dioxide emitted by Englishmen decreased gradually to over 8 metric tonnes in 2007. On the other hand, a different trend can be noted in the countries Italy and Portugal where the emissions slowly rose from an initial rate of approximately 4 and 1 metric ton to about 7 and 6 metric tonnes in 4 decades. In Sweden, emissions increased to its record highest in 1977 w
