Chủ đề Language – IELTS Writing Task 2

Chủ đề Language – IELTS Writing Task 2 có thể được xem là tương đối khó nhằn đối với phần lớn học viên do chúng ta thật sự không có quá nhiều kiến thức cũng như lượng từ vựng tương thích với chủ đề này. Nội dung bài viết này Vietop sẽ giới thiệu một số từ vựng liên quan và bài viết mẫu để tham khảo.

1. Sample

A few languages are increasingly spoken in different countries, while the use of others is rapidly declining. It is a positive or negative development?

The 21st century has witnessed an unprecedented dominance of some languages, which is in stark contrast to the deterioration of some others. My firm conviction is that this trend has both positive and negative consequences in equal measure.

The emergence of universal languages, on the one hand, facilitates communication. English, for example, is spoken by hundreds of millions of speakers all over the world in recent years, and it is safe to say that with that enormous number of speakers, language barriers are basically no longer a big hindrance. With language-related problems becoming technically non-existent, tourists can acquire a sense of security when they travel to many different places around the world, knowing that there would be someone who speaks English or Chinese. On an economic level, having lingua francas greatly boosts transnational commerce, with a great number of nations benefiting from selling more products and receiving investments.

On the other hand, such a trend greatly undermines cultures. Since languages are inextricably bound up to cultural identity, the prevalence of one or two languages may bring in its wake the loss of cultural activities, rituals and core values. In Vietnam, for instance, Tết holiday has been gradually less significant every year, with more foreign festivals such as Halloween or Thanksgiving Day gaining in increasing popularity, and many people doubt that this phenomenon may take its roots from excessive exposure to the English language on the social media. Moreover, speakers of less dominant languages may feel inferior to native speakers of more popular ones and vice versa. Conflicts between people of different races and ethnicities may arise as a result.

In conclusion, my firm conviction is that the dominance of some languages over others can bring both merits and defects. Wise users of languages, therefore, should decide on a compromise between taking advantage of international languages and preserving less popular ones.
