If people all around the world speak just one language, it would be great. I think if it’s happen, most problems are solved in the world. In my opinion the countries in all around the world have problem together because they don’t understand each other well. The result of speaking just one language in the world is more piece and correlation in the world. The people usually know each other just by TV news and most of the time, the governments don’t let TV to show reality because of the politic. If people could speak together directly, they could know each other better and they would find that they heard some thing from news that they are not true. In this time, there are a lot of countries that they use English language as an official language. If people know the official language, travelling to other country and communicating with people would be easier for them and of- course their journey would be more enjoyable. In my opinion English is suitable to be an official language because it’s easy to learn and it has reasonable grammar. My language is more difficult than English. I know a lot of people that try to learn it, but they give up. In my country people learn a little English at school, but there is no place to use it inside the country, so it doesn’t work.

The world would be different place if there was only one language because everybody would understand each other. There would be no need to learn another language, and thus, more time would free for spending time with family and friends. There would also be no boundaries when crossing countries, and no need for passports or visas. Having only one language in the world will also eliminate the need for translators, interpreters, and the time spent on such matters. In my opinion, having one language in the world will make it easier for people to understand one another, but will not necessarily mean that there will be peace. Sharing one language will ensure verbal understanding, at best, but will not guarantee that people will think the same as one another. Also, having only one language may simplify life for others. On the other hand, it may create more disputes because people will understand one another. It may seem that having one language is a great thing, but it may in reality, be a disaster. The world would definitely be a different place with only one language.

One world with one language gives me fear idea,with one language may be we can communicate our ideas better.People can talk with each other by their own mother tongue.They don't need neither translation nor interpreters,so they can understand very fast.I know that English is the most commonly-spoken language throughout the world .my language is more easier than English because it is ours mother tongue.In our country people learn English in school, college and university. we used English language in the tourist areas, such as Kathmandu capital city of Nepal.Many shopkeeper and hotel managers learn English in the response of so many westerners visiting for different purpose including mount Everest expedition. I like to speak Nepali, Hindi and English because i understand .

I think so, the world would be different if there was only one language. Firstly, all people have their own traditions. Secondly, people have different religion. Thirdly, people basically don't want to be the same so anyway. If even people will get one language they will find how to be different. I do not think that Russia will be the first English language. While in the big companies, hospitals, airport use international English. But in Russia the Russian language remains the main language.

Everything in life has positive sides and negative. One language for all that can develop science, facilitate communication between people. I think one language accelerate technical process. But at the same time one language integrate culture. That means our cultural heritage will be very poor. Different languages enrich World culture. It means world don’t get so many famous poet, writers, and singers. How we got lot languages? The bible says God was angry at the people; he made different languages for people don’t understand each other. I think from lot languages more useful. //

I think English should become an official language in my country. There are many Americans travel to China every day.They need some translators, but most Chinese peopelhaven't understood English so far.This is as big problem for Chinese.Yet better, now there is English class in the every school. In my view,English should becomean official language in my country.

There are so many different languages in the world. Many people don't understand each other. But if it was only one language in the world, I think that it would be not so good because it could be not interesting.

I think the world would be so different if it could be only one language. It would be boring because there weren't different cultures, different customs, different rules and different languages in different nationalities. Each nationality has it own language that each nationality loves.

I think the world needs a single language,because people around the world are connected.Having a single language can better solve the problem.People have different language and race.I like Persian,Arabic and English.Because Persian language is my language .Arabic language has a complete grammar,and English because most people are used.I wish all people in the world use one language,and be at peace.

If there would be only one language at one point its is very good because it will be easier to communicate with any person. We can travel to any place without having permission required. We would not have all this problems with other countries because we would have the same culture. It will be easier to communicate with them. Then if you look on the other side our world will be boring place without different languages. We would not have all this cool ideas from cultures. With different cultures and languages we can learn new things about each other. If you look it might be hard to learn multiple languages, but its very interesting. Also your brain develops more by think more and having more information stored in your brain. I would rather have multiple languages even though it might seem harder in communicating and understanding them.

Although I think the world would be simpler if the whole world spoke one language; however, it will vanish cultural diversity that defines each one of us. Different languages mean different cultural diversity; our cultural identity is defined by our language. The first time I learned about how and when the world started speaking many languages was in the Bible. In Genesis, the Bible says that the Lord has divided his people by giving them different tongues to speak many languages. Genesis also mentions that God put so much hope on these people that they started to plan to go against his well. So the Lord thought that the best way to separate these people from their schemes is by giving them different languages to disable them from understanding each other.

I think the world would be different if all people spoke one language. It would be easier to live, because there wouldn't be language difference.All people would be able to understand each other, without translators. People wouldn't have to learn different languages, there for making it easier for communication all over the world. There is a difference between languages, such as English and Ukrainian. Ukrainian language is not easy to learn, like English. Learning any language you have to try hard, and put an effort which is not easy. There are a lot of people in the country Ukraine, that can speak English. I don't think English will become an official language in Ukraine, because Ukrainian language is a big part of Ukrainian culture.I think English is becoming more useful in every country in the world today.

In the world each language could cause to create a culture. If there is a different language then there is a different culture too. Each language is created in the different place and time and if the world wasn’t so big and there was just one culture, maybe there was just one language too and it is impossible. Beside if it happens, life would be boring and maybe there isn’t new subject to see and learn. But in my opinion if there is one language all of countries, people would be very friendly together and maybe there isn’t any problem in the world. My native language is Persian and I think it’s very difficult to learn. I like to learn English because it’s really common all around the world. After English my favorite language is French because I like its accent. The other language that I prefer to learn is Spanish because it’s second common language in U.S.

The world would be different if there was only one language. Everything would be the same, there wouldn't be new things to learn about like cultures and the different beliefs that each country has.

All counties have their own languages, what makes every country special. Own language, own traditions, own culture make each country more interesting. Of course the world would be different if we have just one language. Communication will be easier for everybody. But I think life would not be interesting like it is now. Ukrainian and English are different languages. Alphabet, pronunciation, and writing are not easy in Ukrainian language but it does not mean it is not possible to learn. I think Ukrainian is one of the beautiful languages in the world, and I proud myself to speak this language. I love my language and I hope English will not became an official language in Ukraine because it’s going to change all our culture.

I guess having only one language would make business and travel easier but then people wouldn’t be able to have translating jobs, which makes people get less money. Also different language helps separate cultures to make each individual. There wouldn’t be as much word that exists originated from different languages. I have to choose “ NO”.

I think the world would be different if there would only be one language. It would be a lot easier for everyone to communicate with each other. There would not be a problems like coming to another country and not knowing the language. My language is very different from English. I speak Russian. Some of the letters in Russian alphabet are the same as in English alphabet and other are different. Russian alphabet has 33 letters and English alphabet has 26 letters. I think that there are many different languages because the Bible says in Genesis tells us about it. I would like to speak better in English and it would be nice to learn to Spanish and French.

I think that if the world speak the same lenguage it will be better comunication. But lenguage it is a culture. And if the World speak the same lenguage the culture would be the same around the Word . Thats why I think that every country has to speak their own lenguage. Every country has to have their own culture..
