Task 2

Question

Write about the following topic:

Learning English at school is often seen as more important than learning local languages. If these are not taught, many are at risk of dying out.

In your opinion, is it important for everyone to learn English? Should we try to ensure the survival of local languages and, if so, how?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Write at least 250 words.

Answer

People often confirm that English at school is more essential than local languages. From my point of view, English is really important for everyone but we also need to conserve the local languages.

On the one hand, nowadays, English is an international language, so it is important for all people learning it for some reason. Firstly, English can help us have a high-paying job. For example, many people can teach English at the IELTS centre and be paid a high salary. Secondly, we can communicate with foreign friends and have several good relationships. By learning English we can understand what foreign friends or foreign partners say, so that we can widen our relationships and have personal developments.

On the other hand, we also need to preserve the local languages. Local language is a culture from past to present so conserve it is a thing everyone should do. Local language in Hue, Nghe An, Cao Bang, etc. is a cultural characteristics of Vietnam. To ensure the survival of local languages we can do some action. We can propagate the local languages for everyone in society via social media and internet. For example, Youtube has many channels that make content about culture in Vietnam and they usually use local languages to speak in videos. Moreover, we can also join the cultural festival to have knowledge about local languages.

In conclusion, we should study English but also need to preserve the local languages in Vietnam.
