FOR and AGAINST ESSAY_Pol Benedicto


Option 1

Speaking two languages has obvious practical benefits but it also have some disadvantages. What are the main advantages and disadvantages of being bilingual?


On the one hand, being bilingual improves the communication skills. Bilingual people have it easier to talk with some foreign people and to communicate with people all over the world. For that reason, bilingual people normally have better job opportunities due to they language knowledge. Moreover, bilinguals are predisposed to have better cognitive skills.

On the other hand, bilingualism may present present some disadvantages. One, for example, is mixing languages. This one is specially common in languages that are similar like Spanish and Catalan. That is quite common owing to the coexistence of both languages and the similarity. Furthermore, bilingualism affects the speech fluency because of the knowledge of two languages. But this disadvantage is related with mixing languages and mostly affects children and if the two languages are similar.

According the information, I consider that being bilingual is a really good thing due to the advantages that it provides, for example the better job opportunities. In my opinion, the disadvantages of being bilingual are not too bad compared to the advantages because they are not very common neither presents a big inconvenient.

Hotel review - Pol Benedicto

Hotel review This hotel is situated in the Pyrenees and is near of a small village. It is a tall building and it looks like an old edifice and is also quite small . Unlike that, inside looks very modern and comfortable . I t have a little spa and also a big restaurant inside. The restaurant is a self service one and this I liked a lot. The food tastes very good. The best thing is that the breakfast was included in the price and if you want also the lunch and dinner there was an offer that includes them.
