Task 12 Aleksandra Ushakova

One language spoken would lead to better international relations.

Lingua franca is defined as 'any of various languages used as common or commercial tongues among peoples of diverse speech' in Meriam-Webster dictionary. Nowadays English is the lingua franca for all the people around the world. However, English isn't inly one language spoken worldwide. The question of becoming a language the unique language spoken worldwide is arguable as there are many advantages and disadvantages. 

 On the one hand, if people spoke one language equally well, there wouldn't be any problem because of misunderstanding while translating. Moreover, it can change the global policy of many countries. 

 On the other hand, language brings many specific details to culture. For example, idioms and proverbs. So, people would lose their cultural identity if they spoke only one language. 

 All in all, this question is arguable, and I think that it isn't necessary to worry about it right now.

Because of this, I learned how to structure information and express my thoughts correctly in writing. As for the topics themselves, I really liked the themes that we discussed. They are ver...

A for-and-against essay. Torgalo Eliaveta

                                                Are ebooks so popular and good nowadays?                                                             With the development of digital technology, many physical elements, such as pen and paper, are gradually being replaced by computers and smartphones. But is it really good? Since the creation of "electronic readers" more and more people are turning to the technological side of reading.    One major advantage of e-books is portability.
