* Loại 1: Chỉ nêu Advantage và Disadvantage

It is a fact that English is in an outstanding position in the world as it is used globally nowadays. This has caused people to think about whether it is beneficial to have an exclusive language worldwide. Having one language would bring certain benefits but there will also be some drawbacks.

On the one hand, it is clear that to communicate in one global language would create several advantages. One evident strength is that it would reduce the language barrier by strengthening greater understanding between countries. In other words, the flow of information is no longer deterred, thereby promoting learning and mediating conflicts. Another reason is that it would help to develop a healthier world economy by enhancing trade facilitation. Last but not least, cultural and religious discrimination can be reduced to some extent if all people in the world communicate in the same language.

On the other hand, there are some obvious disadvantages that would arise. First, globalisation in language terms will undermine cultural diversity. It means that the special features regarding ways of life and world views of each culture would all be lost if there were only one language. Second, having one global language will definitely turn this world into a monotonous place without any uniqueness of different areas. Consequently, people would not be interested in discovering the world. Finally, this will also be a disadvantageous point for individuals with high linguistic intelligence since there are no other languages for them to challenge their brain. 

In conclusion, there are plus points to speak one language globally, including better understanding, trade facilitation, and decreasing discrimination. However, the downside would emerge consequently in terms of the loss of cultural diversity, the lack of motivation to explore the world, and a minus point for language intelligence

The shipping of a wide range of foods from other cities or countries may have an adverse impact on locally produced food in this modern world of aggressive competition. However, the latter, in my own eyes, obviously offers more merits than demerits.

On the face of it, the consumption of local food might be said to have certain drawbacks. One of them is the lack of diversity or exotic taste. Without access to strange food from far away, people in Vietnam today, for instance, would feel fed up with a limited number of food choices or would never have a chance to try, and probably enjoy, the taste of a similar type of food which is actually imported from other countries, such as Kobe beef from Japan.

However, compared with food transported from other regions, eating food produced locally is significantly more beneficial in economic, environmental, and educational terms. From an economic point of view, local food does not involve excessive transportation leading to higher and higher costs, especially with increasing fuel prices taken into account.

This is also associated with less damaging effects on the environment related to the shipping of food products by plane from abroad. In terms of education, consuming local food helps nurture patriotism among young generations, orienting them towards preserving and developing the sense of using indigenous products.

In today’s world of globalization, the effort to consume local food is thus playing an indispensable role in maintaining the identity of each and every local culture.

In a word, the downside of eating locally produced food is outweighed by its upside. This is, in actual fact, true from economic, environmental, and educational viewpoints.
