问题     Every year several languages die out. Some people think that this is not important because life will be easier if there are fewer languages in the world.
    To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
选项
答案 Some languages are disappearing far away from the modern society at an alarming rate. A popular belief is that it is a positive development. Indeed, our life will be simplified and beautified as some languages lose popularity. However, reasonable and attractive as the opinion seems, it cannot hold water. First of all, language is the representative of a nation’s particular culture, so the disappearance of the former will lead to a void culture. A language, no matter oral or written, is a definite carrier of fantastic and shimmery civilization accumulated after a series of generations of a country, hence certifying the substantial power of culture. How can we tolerate the extinction of language? Moreover, what culture signifies is the characteristic root of a nation. Language dying gradually out means a rootless culture, so a nation will be not an entity in a true sense. Furthermore, if there are only a small number of languages in the world, how monotonous it is. Each language is the embodiment of the essence of a race, which is absolutely distinctive from others. It is the attraction of various languages that spice up the whole world and thus traveling to a different country is the favorite to modern people. Let us imagine what will happen if several or even only one language can be heard wherever we go. It is terrible indeed. Admittedly, various communication tools have inevitably posed a severe threat to a smooth and harmonious exchange among distinct countries where languages are differentiated. As a result, maybe misunderstanding or even conflict will arise due to the lack of a thorough understanding. However, resorting to depriving some languages of existence to solve that problem of communication is far from a perfect methodology. From the above-mentioned discussion, it is conceded that language dying out is beneficial to our life to some extent, yet I am convinced that the drawbacks of the phenomenon have overshadowed the advantages offered. It is not, and will never be reasonable to sacrifice some languages to attain a smooth communication.
