For and against essay

Nowadays, many people are bilingual and they even know more than two languages, since in school it is obligatory to learn your mother tongue and another foreign language.

On the one hand, being bilingual is an advantage since when you are going to travel to different places and countries because you can communicate with the people from there and  you can know their cultures, traditions or things different from your country, it is always good  know new places and acquire knowledge of them. Furthermore if the people are bilingual they can speak and meet more people than if they only speak one language, it limits them a lot to meet millions of people that exist in the world.

On the other hand, there are many people who have a hard time learning and perfecting any language other than their own since they will have more abilities in other things such as mathematics and for some people it is a very big effort just approves this foreign language. Moreover being bilingual sometimes it causes that people can confuse and mix languages and in the end it seems they don't know how to speak any language.

In conclusion I think it is better to be bilingual because you have more access to talk and meet other people and places for example when I went to London on vacation a year ago, I did not know how to communicate well with the people there and my father had to do it. Then I was angry because I prefer to be able to develop myself and talk to anyone in other countries although I must admit that I have a hard time learning languages.

Today being bilingual has many advantages and benefits. Does it have any disadvantages to be bilingual or are all advantages?

On the one hand, knowing more than two languages is very beneficial for any situation in life, to travel, to work, basically to communicate. Moreover, being bilingual gives us more difficult when it comes to learning a new language, as well as giving us much more culture.

On the other hand, being bilingual also has its disadvantages, for example, for bilingual people it is difficult to understand people who only know a single language. Furthermore, when a person is bilingual, they have to mix the languages they use most every day.

In my opinion, knowing more than two languages has many advantages for everything, for example being able to have a conversation with someone who is from a country other than yours and speaks a language different from yours.

Nowadays we are living in a globalized world. Therefore, the society is looking forward speaking as more languages as they learn. If you could speak any language, which one would you choose?

First of all, speaking two languages have some practical benefits in an increasingly connected world. For example, speaking languages either English or French, it would be useful to communicate with any person around the world. Moreover, it provides more opportunities to be in a better consideration for a job interview. As a result of the fact, people that speak two languages will be able to earn much money in the future.

However, there are also negative consequences. In case this people are really interested in learning a new language, it means that they are going to waste a lot of time and money in the classes. In other words, people will not be able to practise their hobbies as they should be practising the new language.

To sum up, in today’s world the importance for learning a new language it will bring you such an extended knowledge to have a better future.

Speaking more languages has obvious practical benefits in an increasingly globalized world. In spite of all the benefits, could we say that bilingualism only has advantages or does it also have disadvantages?

First of all, bilingualism has been seen by scholars as an advantage to a developed brain. Learning and speaking a different language expose us to a different world and improves our perception.

In my opinion one of the reasons why it is important to know more than one language is that it increases cultural awareness and allows you to communicate with different people and improve your communication skills.

On the other hand, when bilingual people speak is not unusual for them to mix the different languages together when they are having a conversation and they can even create new non-existent words.

In addition, bilinguals may use an expressions in one languages that could have a different connotation in other and could be offensive.

As far as I am concerned, bilingualism is a great advantage that is not only useful in laboral terms, is also a big tool to learn about other culture.

Nowadays, in the globalized world we live in, it is practical to be able to speak two languages, but why? Is it always so useful?

Speaking two languages has its advantages. If we look at it from the point of view of mental agility, is it said that people who speak more than one language have more ability to learn other languages more quickly. Furthermore, another of the advantages of being bilingual is being able to talk with other people who speak one of the two languages, and that maybe if you only spoke one you could not communicate with them.

However, being bilingual can also have its disadvantages. There are times that people who speak two languages are confused with the language when speaking or writing. They use words from the other language when they should not, or they invent words. In addition, there are also times that the second language spoken is not so well known, and therefore, years of study in a language have been lost, when time could have been used to learn another more popular or important language.

In my opinion, I think that speaking two languages is very practical nowadays because the world is very globalized, but I also believe that it is much more useful to be bilingual depending on the languages that you know are and how globalized they are.

When we talk about black Friday, we are talking abaot the lastfriday in December. This day there will be sales in most of the shops.

In my opinion it’s a very goog marketing because in these dates nearly evergone is looking to buy a present for there kinds, boyfriend, brother, mothers, etc. So marking price will incite people to buy more.

On he other side, the buyers get the oportunity to buy things cheaper, so then they can or save Money or buy extra things.

In conclusion it is a very good idea, because both sides win, the companys ean more Money and the buyer save Money.
