Should English be the world language?

It is a well-known fact that English is the third most spoken language in the whole world. Almost all the people are taught that language since they are little. I am convinced that this is a necessary fact for a lot of ambits.

Firstly, the world is coming more and more global in the last years. Globalization is a reality today. This is mainly because of the speculative capitalism that eliminates the borders between countries. For example, a Spanish company could have contacts in Japan, Brazil and Argentina. As a consequence, the world of business must have a common language to communicate.

Furthermore, travelling is becoming cheaper these days. Although the tour guides speak your language, if you want to learn new cultures to open your horizons, you must speak with the inhabitants of the country. I am sure that you can’t learn all of the languages that exist in the world. Therefore, you should know one that you could use in all the continents.

Despite this, we shouldn’t lose our own languages because it is a sign of our cultural identity. Anyway, should English be that useful language? In my opinion, it could fit perfectly. As far as I’m concerned, it is an easy language to learn and it has the Latin alphabet.

In conclusion, there should be a world language that everybody learned. It could be English or another easy language. However, we shouldn’t forget our own culture that is our mother language.

MY IDEAL JOB

Finding a satisfactory job is one of the priorities of the great majority. Especially for teenagers of my age because every day we are told to get the higher marks if we want to find a well-paid job. In addition, we are going through a crisis were a lot of people is on strike. For that reasons, if we had the power to choose our ideal job, it would solve a lot of our problems.

If I could have the job of my dreams, it would be a creative one where the higher posts delegated responsibilities to the lower posts. I’d like to start in a low post and go up to the highest of my speciality. I think that’s a good way to motivate someone and that’s the key of success.

The job that fits in that description could be a publicist. If I could also choose the company, I’d choose Google. It’s one of the bests companies of the world because it cares for the comfort of the employers. I’ve read a lot about that company and I know that Google employees choose every morning in what projects they want to work. If they don’t like anyone, they suggest another because Google value initiative. You can also distribute your time as you like. I’ve heard that there are a lot of entertainments such as Ping-Pong, Plays, books and even a room for having naps. As a result, my working day would be a combination of hard work and relaxing time.  



The wages are also high. That’s important, but if I had to choose between a well-paid and a satisfactory job, I’d choose the second one.


As a conclusion, I’d say that you’ll spend at least forty years of your life working, so it’s important to choose the one you feel comfortable with.

I HAVE A DREAM...



Martin Luther King and his wise words in his speech ‘I have a dream’ have always left a mark on me. I’ve thought carefully about that striking speech, and I’ve reach a conclusion. In my opinion, he said the word dream, not because he thought that equal rights were a utopia, but difficult to get. He knew that he wouldn’t be alive when all the people lived in a brotherhood. 

I can guarantee that the people of the entire world have dreams. As I said before, some people think that they’re called dreams just because they’re unachievable. But I’m against this reasoning. I believe that you can get what you want. It’s said that all you have to do is wish something strongly. But that’s not enough. You have to fight, sweat and make lots of efforts to achieve your goals. 

You never have to be ashamed for your wishes. They’re just as important as the dreams of others. Never think that they’re nothing special. They are significant for you and that’s the matter. When Martin Luther King was alive, some people thought that his dreams would never come true. Those who said that they were impossible, were wrong. 

I don’t have a dream; a have lots of dreams. Some of them I strongly know that I’ll get them because I am fighting for them. Others won’t come true. I’ll try to achieve as much goals as I have, but I know that some would disappear in my way. But I don’t care because dreaming doesn’t damage anyone. 


As a conclusion, I’d like to add this quote of Gail Devers:

“Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.”
