I'm one of the manager of this cafe, drgoodbar.
I have to say I'm sorry coz I duplicated your writting and moved to another column PROS & CONS as I thought this article is more appropriate one to that column.
Please forgive me, if you got angry because of my behavior.
Anyway your writting is so good and worthwhile that I had to do like that.
Thank you again.
Have a good night.

:last week, I had to give an presentation on the hot issue, Adopting Englsih as an official language in korea".
: I was supposed to find cons's opinion. They suggest a lot of reasons for that.
: First, They insist that if korea desinate English as an korean official language, it might cause another division of Korea followed by geographical division. Here is one example good to examplify. It is estimated that roughly 20% of Philippinos are habitual users of English so they can break the ties of national identity.
: Second, opponent party's catchphrase is this- language is life itself to every ethnic group.-
: so they insist that without own language, the essence of a nation must perish because they can't make their own colorful culture. they also suggested two nations.
: Manchurian's legacy disappeared today in China because ethnicity Han demolished Manchurian language. and then, let's think about Tibetan autonomous region. They could keep their own language so didn't assimilate into dominant Han group.
: Thrid, They argue that nobody knows English can remain as an global language forever or not. They say it is true America's economy is dominant in the world, but economica aspect cannnot move the world. as though Roman empire or Mongolian empire was really powerful and wealthy, they disappeared into darkness of history.

: and there are lots of reason for cons.
: what do you guys think about this issue? As though I was a pros position before I prepare this presentation, as time go on, i came to find many defect also. As you know, late Japanese Prime Minister Obuchi Geijo supported official English plan in Japan. I heard soon after that announcement, president Kim D
: ae Jung also gave a positive opinion about that.
: But i think this is hot issue that should be given more thought.
