10. Should We Speak English anytime or not?

English language is a language which always uses in everywhere and everyone. Day by day we think that we should can speak english. As an international language, english is important and needed. Many people use english as their daily language even the students in another country learn how to speak english well. In their school of course there is english language lesson. Although english is needed and used by everyone in everywhere, it doesn’t mean we must speak english anytime. Eventhough english is important, but not everyone can’t speak english and as Indonesian we also have to speak in Indonesian language so that we are not forget with our own language.

Most importanly, the country which not uses english as a main language like Indonesia don’t need to speak english all the time. In Indonesia, not all the societies can speak english. For example, when you meet a boy in a small village then you ask something to him I don’t think he will understand what you are asking or when you are chatting with your friends about something and you speak english maybe some of your friends don’t understand what are you talking about. How come that could happen? Because they don’t accustomed speak english as their daily language. Maybe they understand what are you talking about but just a little bit. Furthermore english is not their main language. In this case you just can speak english with certain people.

I think some people in Indonesia are not enjoy speak english anytime. As Indonesian we also have to speak in our own language. If we speak english anytime, one thing to be afraid is they don’t interest anymore to speak in Indonesia because they consider speak english is a lifestyle. Whoelse will speak in Indonesia if not we? Should Indonesian language erased from this world? We may not forget with our mother language. Who knows that someday could be an international language?

Some people claim that speak english anytime is a lifestyle so, they will speak english all anytime and anywhere. However, I think some people don’t think so. They just speak english in certain time. When they meet their colleague from other country while their colleague can’t speak Indonesia, you may use english to communicate. Even when you study abroad and you meet with other Indonesian, I think you shouldn’t speak english anytime. You have own language, Indonesia so, why you don’t try to speak Indonesia anytime?

in short, for me speak english anytime is not needed because in Indonesia, english language is not main language. You have to adaptable with your environment.
