You
may hear of many expressions that mean “I love you”. How is that possible? It is
because of various languages. But unfortunately, nowadays there are
disappearing languages. So I want to talk about this topic. Should there be one
world language that everyone speaks? In my opinion, I do not think so. From now
on, I will mention the counterargument which is about the good part of using
one language. Then I will declare my opinion which is negative at this topic.
Thinking
simply, it may be good to use one language, because it can benefit convenience
and does not cause conflict or misunderstanding. Especially, in UN discussion
and debating session, by using one language people can communicate more easily.
But do you think that using one language can benefit all?
Language
is same as culture. Think about if Korean disappears. None of people will agree
with that. Because if our Korean language disappears, our culture will also be
in a bad situation and that will cause vanishing. For example, not only the
word such as Hanbok and Kimchi, but also many pure Korean names such as Sora
which are not used as Chinese will be not used. That will make our life more
difficult.
To
add, language itself maintains its own unique thing. So if we have many
languages, it means that we can keep variety and diversity. When you think of
your experience, this thing will be more understandable. Think of the time when
you travel. One of the reasons that people enjoy travel is because of exotic atmosphere,
which of them is influenced by different language. Also, if we have just one
language to speak, our brain will not activate. Thankfully, as we have lots of
language, we have chance to learn another language.
Hence
I argue that we should not use just one language. According to these reasons,
there were three sectors; the counter-occasion when we use one language, seeing
language important same as culture and maintaining variety. Therefore, we
should maintain many various languages and try to keep that all.
Diversity of languages of the world and cultures derived from the languages are so important that we should not ignore them. Since they give people many lessons or unique experiences like you wrote, we have to protect disappearing languages.

I heard that the reason why the Korean people could not win the Nobel's Prize for literature is that the Korean pure names cannot be translated and the pure names cannot be replaced because of slight differences of meaning. So it is important to maintain many various languages and try to keep that all.
