Machine translation is often more accurate due to the fact that translation software is
designed so that it is able to translate a word or a phrase based on its own context.
It is true that thanks to technological advances, these days we can easily translate
any foreign language into our mother tongue and vice versa.
Because computers can translate all languages very quickly and accurately, learning a
foreign language is a waste of time.
Another example is that those who decide to work or study overseas might encounter
various problems if they rely entirely on their translation apps for their daily
communication.

Bài mẫu IELTS Writing Task 2 Band 7
There are thousands of languages being spoken in many regions around the globe.
However, perhaps in a foreseeable future, only one common language will exist as a
means of communication in the human world. In my opinion, this development, despite
being the facilitation of international communication, is a detriment to our diversity as a
species.
If we all spoke the same language, it would be the bridge to harmony and
understanding between different cultures and countries. It would eliminate the key
hurdle that keeps a group of people away from others because we all have a sense of
familiarity in language. We can therefore comprehend more profoundly different
cultures that used to be somewhat misinterpreted due to a linguistic barrier.
Nevertheless, if there were one common language, a part of a country’s core identity
would be sacrificed. Language not only is the way people living in the same society
communicate but also symbolizes their origins and defining characters. Vietnamese
people, for example, have been known for their heroism and patriotism through words
of their anthems. Or everyone thinks of France as a land of romance because French is a
language of love.
Cultural diversity and historical values would also be put at stake as a consequence of
this trend. Dialects in any part of a country carries unique stories and lessons of the past
which are closely linked to religions, beliefs, and lifestyles. And a world that uses only
one language would be the ground for the likely sad disappearance of those precious
aspects of life.
In conclusion, I feel this global linguistic change is a major threat to human identity,
culture and history although, to some point, it does help ease language barriers.
