Global Languages
Surely everyone read or at least heard the biblical legend about the \(\boxed{32} \underline{ }\) of Babel in their childhood. The essence of this legend is that the Christian God stopped the construction by his own will and one morning the Babylonians woke up and ceased to understand each other as they began to speak different languages. This legend explained the difference in the languagesof different nations after the flood.
\(\boxed{33} \underline{ } \) the 21st century, globalisation has in some way nullified this myth and is gradually returning humanity to communication in a single language. Such a process had already taken \(\boxed{34} \underline{ }\) , if we look at the development of mankind from a historical perspective. Until the 16th century, the international language was Latin. In the 19th century it was French, in the 20th it was German, the last 40 years the international language has been English. He is taught all over the world. In Russia, English is studied in all majors of universities and colleges. Jewellers, lawyers, doctors and teachers—everyone learns English.
Indeed, it is very \(\boxed{35} \underline{ }\) to know at least one foreign language. This opens many doors for a person's life and makes their life more versatile. It is much easier for people to travel abroad, improve their business and even demand higher wages for proficiency in foreign languages. Having a command of at least one foreign language, it will be easier for a person to learn the second and third foreign languages. For example, learning English makes learning any European language easier.
However, there is another side to this \(\boxed{36} \underline{ }\) . Due to the fact that people are trying to learn and speak in languages of widespread use, national dialects and even entire languages are dying \(\boxed{37} \underline{ }\) . This is a real issue for national culture, which distinguishes peoples from each other and which has been formed over the centuries. In this way, the diversity for which we are so striving disappears. People cannot and should not be the same. National clothes, traditions and languages help people to identify and express themselves.
\(\boxed{38} \underline{ }\) , people all over the world are encouraged to learn foreign languages, but they should not forget about their native language and national culture.
