FOR and AGAINST essay - Sara Bouzas


BEING BILINGUAL

Nowadays, it’s pretty common for people to be bilingual due to the fact that our world has become globalized. This may have some benefits but some people don’t see it that way. So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of speaking two languages?

On the one hand, people believe that it’s really beneficial, even necessary for our lives. First of all, it allows you communicate with people of other nationalities and getting to know their culture which it’s really helpful, especially, when you are travelling. Moreover, by knowing different languages it’s easier to get a job in a higher position because you may need to communicate with people from around the world. For example, if you work for a big company or business it will be almost mandatory to be at least bilingual.

One the other hand, there are people who consider that it’s not necessary and it may even be bad for you. To begin with, learning a new language it’s really difficult and it can take a lot of time that you could be expending in other things. This, might put you under a lot of pressure, which will probably make you get worse grades in other lessons. Furthermore, if you are learning more than one language it’s possible that you mix some worlds or expressions that will end up confusing the person that you are taking with.

However, in my opinion, despite the difficulties that come with learning and speaking two languages, being bilingual will make it easier to get more job opportunities and having a better knowledge of the world that we live in.
