The advantages and/or disadvantages of English as a global language
There is a heat discussion whether English is suitable for a global
language or not. I think there are two advantages and one disadvantage
of English as a global language as following.
The first advantage is that many people in the world are using English
as the fact. Language learning is not so easy that this fact is
advantageous for English.
The second advantage is that future language trends are for English.
For example , in China, one of the biggest country in the world , many
young people are learning English, it is said.
The disadvantage is that there are many kinds of English such as
British, American, or other forms of English. This would annoy English
learners, so this is the disadvantage .
In conclusion, in spite of the disadvantage, I think English is
suitable for a global language because of the two advantages that I
mentioned.
Thank you very much.
