LEARNING ENGLISH AT SCHOOL IS OFTEN SEEN AS MORE IMPORTANT THAN LEARNING LOCAL LANGUAGES. IF 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, IF SO, HOW? GIVE REASONS FOR YOUR ANSWER AND INCLUDE ANY RELEVENT EXAMPLE FROM YOUR OWN KNOWLEDGE OR EXPERIENCE
The controversial topic concerning learning
English
at school never fails to attract public attention. Many local languages
could disappear because some people believe that studying English
at school is more substantial than studying local languages
. In my opinion, in today's world
, it is crucial for everyone to learn English
, but without neglecting their mother tongue. I also
believe that we should ensure the survival of local languages
by devoting more resources to them.
Firstly
, learning English
at schools
is a must. Because English
is an international language that provides whoever speaks it better access to the world
. For instance
, people who speak English
have more opportunities than those who cannot speak English
. That's why English
should be taught to children at schools
. For this
reason, some people think that learning English
is more substantial than learning local languages
.
Secondly
, although
learning English
at schools
is important, it doesn't mean that local languages
should be neglected at schools
. So, we should all work together to help the survival of local languages
at schools
. Because local languages
help children present themselves to the world
and to show their authentic culture. Furthermore
, local languages
are linked to their local economy so much that the local economy would not survive without them. For this
reason, proper actions have to be taken to prevent local languages
from dying. For example
, Devoting resources to the locality such
as highly qualified teachers as well as the continuous practice of the language at schools
could help preserve it.
In conclusion, it is commonly thought that learning local languages
at schools
is less important than learning the English
language. Although
English
is important in today's world
, local languages
cannot be neglected at schools
and they should be preserved by devoting resources like highly qualified teachers and by the continuous practice of the languages
