A person who speaks more than one language can experience multiple personalities, visions and reflections consisting which language is he speaking. High School students should comprehend the real benefit of speaking a foreign language. Being a multilingual myself and speaking fluently four languages and studying another two, I consider that I am qualified enough to persuade that my argument is strong, plausible and not ultimately-right.

They wanted students to learn some of the mother tongue

Opportunities of practicing English and exposure in English increase when English is adopted in academic learning.

Language is a key part of any family, community, culture and the human race. Without language the world today would be much different. From cavemen, to the Egyptian use of hieroglyphics, to Old English, to more than 6,500 languages spoken around the world today, the advances that humans have made in language is remarkable and inspiring.

Three month ago, I came to Canada to start my four-year undergraduate education in York University. English used everywhere such as classrooms, restaurants even toilets. You can handle nothing without an out-standing English grasp here. So compared to the second topic which is about the human rights and freedom in Canada, I think I am more interested in the first one which is related to English (political issues cannot bother me at all).

However, some controversies about English are furiously argued in the modern society. Some scholars think that English is a beneficial tool for the globalization, while others claims that the spread of English is a threat to developing countries. In this essay, I am willing to give a reflection discussion about the article of David Cookie Ties that constrict: English as a Trojan Horse and my own opinion and suggestions about this controversial issue of the learning of English will be given.

The expenditure system in Cambodia has three main features. It’s important to emphasize that more information is needed to be certain about whether the following expenditure trends continue today. First, the country has been running a deficit for a long time due to higher growth rate of expenditures than revenues.

Lastly, the transport expenditures have also decreased substantially. If the country had better transport infrastructure, the government could raise their revenues that come from public services. Additionally, without proper transport infrastructure there is a loss of potential tourism destinations, and reduced competitiveness in market accessibility due to high access costs to commodities.

To start off, learning foreign languages is an advantage to the children’s future career path. Being able to speak in foreign languages will definitely be a handy skill for children when they grow up.

Companies, especially international enterprises, will more likely employ candidates who speak many languages fluently.

It is also unrealistic for people to use their laptops or smartphones to translate whenever they encounter people who do not share the common language.
