The advantages of the spread of English as a global language will continue to
outweigh its disadvantages. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In these years, there is a growing recognition that English is well on its way to
becoming the dominant global language. The impact of this trend is a subject
of
intense
debate.
It
is
my
opinion
that
advantages
of
a
dominant
global
language will continue to outweigh its disadvantages.

The
rise
of
a
global
language
is
a
facilitator
（促进者）

of

cross-cultural
communication
and
the
communication
between

people
with
different
language backgrounds
.
In different areas of global communication, such as
science
and
news,
recognising
a
common
language
removes
communication
barriers

and

increases
convenience
.
On
many
formal
occasions,
English,
as
a
working
language,
boosts
efficiency
and
avoids
misunderstanding
.
Likewise,
the
exchange
of
essential
information
like
know-how and technologies
will be tremendously prompted
.

One might argue that
the rise of
a global language
would endanger other
languages
,

in a
belief that

an
increasing
number of
people
have
turned
to
English as their first language. This viewpoint is flawed. The spread of global
English
has
little,
if
any,
influence
on
non-English-spe
akers’
language
proficiency. People might be motivated to learn English as a foreign language
but

do
not
necessarily
drop
their
native
language

because
learning
beginner
or
intermediate
level
English
is
sufficient
for
day-to-day
communication
.

The dominance of English
as a global language
is
, therefore,
not a cause of
the
loss
of
language
diversity.

Its
negative
effect
is
reflected
mainly
in
cultural
imperialism.
As
international
media
recognises
English
as
its
root
language, most of the broadcasted information is related to the lifestyle, norms
and
beliefs
of
English-speaking
countries.
It
might
over
time
put
many
minority
cultures
on
the
verge
of
extinction
,
when
those
ethnic
groups
gradually
adopt
the
Western
culture.

The
effects
of
shrinking
cultural
diversity
are destructive, causing people to live in a simple and monotonous
world and think and act in similar ways.

The
development
of
English
is
overall,
a
positive
global
trend.
It
connects
people
who
previously
spoke
different
languages
and
enables
them
to
exchange ideas, although it might
lead to the loss of cultural diversity.
