Nowadays almost everyone tries to learn at least one foreign language to be able to communicate with people from other countries. Therefore they dream about one language that would be spoken by everybody. However, scientists consider having only one language not of many advantages.
Personally, I strongly believe that it is right that we all speak different languages. There are several reasons to be said in favour of this point of view. Firstly, if we had lost all our languages and had gained one instead, we would lose our cultural heritage and nations would become just identical. Secondly, learning foreign languages is a wonderful hobby that broadens one`s mind and improves one`s memory. So, if we had only one language we would not have food for thought and ,consequently, would not be intellectual and smart.
Nevertheless, some individuals claim that it would be great to have only one language because it would be easier to make friends. Moreover, according to their opinion, there would not be any wars as everyone would understand each other and do not have any conflicts.
However, I absolutely disagree with the abovementioned ideas. To begin with, even though people speak the same language it is not the fact that they will become friends. Besides, wrong translation cannot be a reason of wars as there are other different reasons.
To sum it up, there are two opposite points of views on this problem. As for me, I an convinced that we should all prevent extinction of our languages because they are essential part of our cultural heritage that we should try to preserve.
