Единый язык для всей планеты. За и против

No doubt that learning languages takes up a lot of time. That is why some people think that it would be better to have only one language on our planet. But will it be really beneficial for mankind?

In my opinion, the reduction of the number of languages is a disaster because it will totally destroy our great cultural heritage. With each loss of a language comes a loss of a culture, a loss of a way of life that deserves to be protected and treated as valuable. I also believe that leaving one language for communication will greatly reduce the linguistic diversity of our planet, which is the key to our survival. On the other hand, it will be rather difficult to choose which language to use and it may even lead to wars.

To start with, is that any human might think that if we have only one language, communication will become easier and there will be no need to learn foreign languages. Secondly, I cannot agree with them because knowledge of foreign languages makes a person educated and well rounded. You cannot broaden your mind if you see the world only from the perspective of your own culture. As a result, people are a lot more helpful if you speak their language.

On conclusion, I would argue that we should try our best to preserve the linguistic diversity of our planet. I think that larger cultures should have a respect for minority languages, but first of all the younger generation must want to preserve their native language.

1)b) Introduction

We all want to reduce our impact on the environment. What can we do to make a difference? Here

arc some ideas which everyone can try:

(2)c) Reusing rubbish

We throw away a lot of items which we can use again. Did you know that recycling one tin can

save enough energy to power a television for three hours?

a) Reducing food waste

• We throw away a third of everything we buy at the supermarket. But at least half of the items

which we throw away are still fresh and tasty

d) Fewer plastic bags and containers

• Buy things which don't have much packaging. Govemments are trying to make supermarkets

reduce their use of packaging, but progress is slow.

e) Cleaning up your area

• Rubbish in the streets looks horrible, but it is also an environmental problem. Rubbish can pollute

the water we drink and the ground we grow plants in

(6)g) Environmentally-friendly travel

• Cars, motorcycles and planes all cause a lot of pollution. Try to walk or cycle. If your journey is

longer, use public transport, such as buses or trains.

If we all act now, we can make a difference!
