The 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?

My attempt:

Over the last several decades, English has become the dominant language spoken around the world. As a result, many people prioritize learning it over their local languages. Due to this, many less popular languages spoken in minority communities lose a significant number of speakers, potentially driving some to extinction. In my opinion, being fluent in English is one of the most important skills in the modern age. However, I do not agree that its importance is greater than people’s mother tongues, and less popular languages should be preserved even if they don’t serve a practical use.

The importance of learning English exceeds the normal day-to-day communication. Because of its popularity, books from a variety of languages are translated into English to reach a global audience. This makes accessing knowledge from a wide range of subjects far easier than any tongue. Furthermore, global forums as well as international institutions have gradually adopted English as their primary language. People who are pursuing academic success are required to be fluent in the global language, so as to not limit their potential. Consequently, people from minority groups would feel pressured into learning English.

Nevertheless, languages are not simply interchangeable systems of communication. Certain words and phrases can’t be translated into other languages without changing the original meaning. For example, the word “bánh” in Vietnamese can’t be directly translated into English as it refers to a wide range of foods like cakes, pies, and a certain type of soup. Because of this, each language should be considered as a unique perspective. When a language dies off, the contexts of ancient texts, customs, and historical events that relate to it can’t be fully understood.

That’s why more efforts should be focused on preserving languages of indigenous people. This could be done by promoting them on social media and teaching them to local children. Languages shouldn’t be limited to certain groups either. Experts on these languages should be open to teaching them to people who are willing to learn, regardless of their background. With a bit more cooperation and understanding, all languages can be preserved forever.

In conclusion, although English plays a crucial role in global communication and access to knowledge, it should not come at the expense of local languages. A balanced approach that promotes both English proficiency and the preservation of linguistic diversity is essential.

So with Maru CT, he eliminates curse energy from the living non-sorcerers and those born after this point, right? But as Yuji said, that doesn't eliminate curse spirits or curse energy because people outside Japan still have it, so curse energy still exists. So what's the point? Is it just to take back Tokyo?

They said a heavenly restriction individual would still be born and will use them to fight curses in the future, but why do that when sorcerers are already doing the same thing? And who's gonna provide the curse tool for them if they're broken or something? Is Yuji gonna keep doing it forever? Isn't the current situation better? And what if a generation doesn't produce one, as it seems like they're even more rare than the six eyes? And what if Yuji's compatible vessel isn't found?

Also, what about the Kalyans? The new generation of this species won't recognize the rumelians as the same kind anymore and will attack them. So when this generation of rumelians eventually goes, how are they gonna keep these creatures in captivity, or are they gonna let them go extinct?
