English as official language

Still, I'm writing a boring essay for my study...Sorry!

Should English be used as an official language?

In Japan? No. It is obvious that English has been used as the international language worldwide. But it shouldn't be an official language in non-English native speaking countries because of the following reasons.

First, simply, the problem of the process. We should change the signs, textbooks, manuals, public papers, from Japanese into English. Think about the cost! Also, what if some teachers or civil servants don't understand English? It's just unrealistic, and it will take too much time and process.

Secondly, we will lose our dignity and important part of culture. The Japanese language has been made by us, people who know Japanese ways of lives and culture. The Japanese language itself is the representation of our culture, and we shouldn't lose it.

Finally, the maintain of the expression of our character. The Japanese language was formed by our character. Even though the words describe the same meaning, English and Japanese are different to express. The Japanese language epitomize our humble, shy, and diligent characters.

We have necessities to study English to communicate with international people, but it doesn't mean we can lose our dignity. Keeping using the beautiful Japanese, we will be assertive in the international world.
