Tourism has contributed to make English as a global language. Some people think that this will lead to English becoming the only language spoken globally.

What are the advantages and disadvantages to have only one English as the only spoken language?

You should write at least 250 words.

It is thought by some people that with English becoming the predominant language, may one day become the dominant language of the world and outcast all other languages spoken in the world. Having one language will certainly aid global understanding and improve economic scenario but it also brings along with it some drawbacks.

One evident benefit to having one global language is that it would allow for better understanding among different countries. Even more, people travelling from one place to other won’t find difficulties in searching for better places. The third advantage that it provides is that it will reduce the crimes because of lack of communication, that often take place in tourists. For instance, if a person understands the language of the country, it becomes easier for them to understand the signs on road or other public places.

Turning to the negative side of the argument, it would mean that all other languages will disappear and along with them the cultures they bring along with. Having different cultures allows for joy to the universe. Each culture is unique with its own way of life and its own perspective of the world which will be all lost if we had only one language. Secondly, the entire concept of tourism will break down because all country will have the same culture and same language, allowing nothing new for the tourism. This will have an adverse effect on countries which rely entirely on tourism.

In conclusion, where there are plus points of having a global language, too much will be lost as a result. Maintaining local language and culture will allow to preserve the global heritage, which is of higher priority.

Some people think that young people should be allowed to do unpaid work helping people in the community. Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

Education is undeniably the most important thing for an individual. However, in today’s world, mere education is not enough, gaining valuable experience is very necessary to get a good job in future. Most people assert that youths must attend unpaid work in a community to get more advanced experience, while others are of the opinion that it can disturb their education.

Volunteering for a community work brings with it great advantages. Firstly, unpaid work in a curriculum offer better chance for kids to improve themselves in their field. As young, one is energetic, passionate and motivated to learn new experiences and the job can act as an opportunity to involve in a real work force that they are interested in.

Secondly, it provides students a sense of being pivotal in society, which makes them proud and helps them learning the importance of contribution.

Turning to the other side of the argument, studying in advanced level requires abundant of time to concentrate on assignments or exams. Enrolling in unpaid job could seem quite unpractical as even if the student has time, he or she will more likely participate in sports clubs or enroll in additional class. Even more, if students are hell bound to take an unpaid job it could be a hassle and distract them from their responsibility.

Overall, in my opinion, even though attending unpaid jobs could be a hassle in the beginning, but by learning time management, a student can easily take on both and add wings to their career.

Although many people value public parks, but some believe that this space could rather be used for residential areas or develop business to boost economies. 

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The population all around the world is increasing with a rate faster than the earth can handle. With this increasing population, some people believe that to meet the requirements, public parks must be converted to business or residential areas. However, in my opinion, parks are very important for the emotional stability of individuals and must not be closed.

The importance of parks cannot be understated. Firstly, parks help in community revitalization. Considering the stressed lives people live in, parks provide the perfect environment for people to meet and release stress. Secondly, they provide holistic environment to children. Most children don’t learn things in the closed walls of classroom and need to interact with their peer or play with them. Thirdly, parks promote public health. Many people don’t have time to go to gym, parks help them giving the right environment for jogging or cycling.

However, some people believe that the world requires more of money and space to live in. Although the urgency cannot be denied, but if the space of parks is allocated, it could lead to unhealthy environment for kids as they would be deprived of place to play and enjoy. Even more, it could lead to unsafe localities as park surrounding the locality, marks its boundary, allowing security guards to ensure the security.

Overall, it cannot be denied that we are in urgent need of space and importantly money for the over populated world, but I believe destroying parks might not be the right option.
