An international language would remove one of the main differences which separate people of different nationalities and this would lead to greater international understanding and co-operation. There should be one international language which everyone agrees to learn and speak. Do you agree or disagree?

An international language removes the differences between languages, but cannot remove the bias between cultures. Language is the key of one nation, the spirit of a culture. People cannot give up their own culture, so they cannot give place to the conflicts. Even a small concession of an culture may change the behaviors of a generation. People need changes to bring their a new lives, but perhaps there is not a group of people in the world can say that they want to change all of the behaviors they used to adapt another group of people.

If we already had an international language, the situation of the war of culture would not get better. Absolutely many people may have less tolerant to these different ideas cause of the more information which can arouse a bigger conflict or argument.

However, on the other hand there are more benefits of an international language. In ancient China, there are some similar examples. In Qin Dynasty, the first king unified the words of all areas among China. According to historians, that is one of the most important reason of why China can keep record such a long history without interrupted. Similarly, because the inconvenience of traffic in ancient time and the different races in Chinese land, there are many accents so that ancient Chinese government had an official language for all the officers in government.

The upper two proofs proved the international language is necessary for people to understand different nationalities and get a better cooperation.

In a word, the current situation of an international language is that, we need it, but there is no one language all people admitted it. Thus, it takes time for people to accept each other, for each culture to get a suitable place. We cannot have an international language right now which might cause a series problems, whereas I believe we can have one in the future.
