Bilinguallism's Goal

Now, I will tell my ideas about the story written by Barbara Mujica that entitles Bilingualism’s Goal. According my idea, I agree if the children or people learn or study not only a language but also the other languages like English that most people use in the world because it becomes international language. Such as in this story that in Spain, the children use Spanish when they are at home but when they are at the school, they have to use English. It means that having bilingualism is a good way in order that we can speak not only with the people who have the same ethnic but also we can speak with the other ethnics. Also, people can express their idea using formal language like English because in the offices, campus, school people have to use formal language that can be understood by many people. The children who only speak using a language, they will feel alienated and they will be silent and withdrawn. With bilingualism, we will get many friends in the other ethnic. I think we will get the better in sciences, arts, the better position in politics or the other better jobs. We will not be disparaged by other people but we will respected and appreciated by them. We can also overcome the inferior feeling. Another, our knowledge will be wide and we will get much information from other cities, countries etc. Other example, in Indonesia my self uses Javanese when I am at home or when I speak to my family, my relatives, my same ethnic friends and we uses it in informal situation. However, we use Indonesia when we are at the campus, offices etc or when we speak with other ethnics. It means that Indonesia language is a unifier and formal language that people use in Indonesia.
