The advantages brought by the spread of English as a global language outweigh the disadvantages. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Answers:
There is no doubt that English has become a global language in business, diplomacy, education and politics. Due to unwillingly being enthusiastic about absorbing new skills, some people reluctantly assume admitting the values and facts of English being a universal one through the world. On the contrary, they denounce the trend as a hinder to further existence of unique cultures.
Languages are the carrier of culture. The culture would disappear as soon as the language spoken in it was out of use. Young people thus forfeit their parents’ customs and living habits as they adapt themselves to English speaking. Their cultural heritage then would be pinned and this can be proved in many tribes of Europe and America. Moreover, the diversity of languages turns to be the pools of great ideas and thoughts. If they were extinguished in ordinary people, our society would lose the power of advancing. Furthermore, there are many valuable treasures in various cultures, like medical treatments and scientific records in history. They would all be thrown into unnoticeable corner with their mother languages going out.
However, despite the drawbacks of the thriving of English use, I believe that it is an formidable trend driven by the globalization process. First, the translating cost would plummet if all the people around the world manipulated the same language. People have more chances to meet and negotiate with each other for boosting their business projects and diplomatic conferences. The obstacles of misunderstanding would suffocate further cooperation without efficient communication. Moreover, speaking the same language could draw people closer and it even could homogenize various beliefs. Consequently, the conflicts would be eliminated considerably. Last, the widespread use of English makes the education and abroad study prosper and easier. Students will rid the chores of learning English and then focus on the field they endeavor to work in.
To sum up, my opinion resembles those who support the wide use of English. The rapid manipulation by the people would accelerate to alleviate the financial crisis obsessed with by the international companies. To overcome the harms it brings, establishing the specialized agencies funded by the governments to study and preserve the dying ones would be the good solution.

Merry Chrismas, kitos.
Laguages and dialects were created due to the facts that different groups of people were isolated in the confined area, so did races.
One day, there will be only one race and one language, and I believe that is a formidable trend. But I am not sure which will be the last one. May be English, or the most possibility is a new one mixed different languages. That needs time, long time. We can not see it.
