FOR AND AGAINST ESSAY
Nowadays, it is common for everyone to be bilingual since
almost people speaks at least two languages and our world has become globalized.
However, this fact can have some advantages and disadvantages. So, the questions
that we need to answers are: What are
these benefits? What are the main advantages and disadvantages of being
bilingual?
On the one hand, I think that the brain of a bilingual
speaker quickly gets used to managing two languages at the same time and this
can be a beneficiate for us. Moreover, there is nothing better for maintaining
high cognitive function that participating in stimulating physical or mental
activity. In addition, the improved linguistic skills are present already in
bilingual speakers. Some of these advantages are the ability to learn new words
easily, the good listening skills and the improved communication skills.
On the other hand, bilinguals know fewer words of any
semantic category in comparison to people that speak fluently only one language
since that their vocabularies seemed to be somewhat smaller than those of
monolingual speakers do.
To sum up, I believe that being bilingual has many more
advantages than disadvantages and I think it is better to be since we acquire a
broader level of knowledge.
