WRITING TASK 2

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Write about the following topic:

Learning English at school is often seen as more important than learning local
languages. If these are not taught, many are at risk of dying out.

In your opinion, is it important for everyone to learn English? Should we try to


ensure the survival of local languages and, if so, how?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own
knowledge or experience.

Write at least 250 words.
