Discussion essay - Mario Calvo

Nowadays, most people know how to speak different languages, but, is this something positive or does it have some bad consequences?

On the one hand, being bilingual has some positive points. As an example, it is a positive point if you are looking for a job or when you are travelling abroad. In those cases, being able to speak different languages is essential.

On the other hand, managing to talk two languages can cause some confusion, which can turn a normal situation into an embarrassing one. Furthermore, this can also penalize you while doing an exam, as you can confuse some words among two similar languages.

From my point of view, bilingual people, have  several more opportunities, and better ones, in our society and have more ability to communicate with people from different nacionalities.
