ENGLISH AS A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE. Paula F. (1 BATX B)

Do you think English should be a universal language?

Nowadays, the most spoken language in the world is English, so if you want to be understandable when you go abroad, you need to have a little idea of how to speak English.

Everybody wants their mother tongue to be the universal one but this is impossible because there are around 4000 languages in the world. We have to choose one of them. 

I would discard the ones that don’t have the Latin alphabet because they are more difficult to learn. I also would discard the minority ones because only a very tiny percent of the world population know them and it would be very hard to expand it all over the world.

 In addition, most of the students around the world, including me, are studying English at school so is easily to incorporate this language in the society.

In conclusion, English should be the universal language because it is the most common and it is relatively easy to learn.
