Some people think that it would be better if everyone in the world spoke English. Firstly, life would be much easier. You could talk to everyone easily and understand everything you read. Furthermore, business and politics would be easier, as all communications and negotiations could be done directly, and it would be faster and cheaper because there would be no need for translators and interpreters. On the other hand, if everyone spoke just English the world would be a less interesting place. We would lose many fascinating elements of culture. Next, people would lose their national identity. In conclusion, I feel that while it would certainly make many areas of life such as travel, business and politics much easier, it would also make the world a more boring and duller place to live in. I think that we need cultural diversity as humans---it makes us richer. I would therefore like everyone to learn English as a second language very well for the benefits mentioned, but not lose their own languages in the process.
