AMERICA
BILINGUAL
BY: EMILY FLYNN
THESIS STATEMENT
America is a place of reoccurring change, a place where
people of different nations live together, and a place of
diversity. However, in a country as diverse as our own, we
find it constantly difficult to communicate with our
neighbors. American children should begin learning a
second language by kindergarten, because it helps break the
language barrier in America and the advantages of being
bilingual are to good to pass up.

CONCLUSION
America is a place where people can come for a fresh start,
or a better life, or whatever they choose. Its understandable
that Americans would seem learning a second language
unnecessary, especially if they never want to leave the
country, but being bilingual would mean so much more than
that. America should be learning a second language at a
young age because it will help break the language barrier
and bilinguals have advantages that most dont realize. The
moment we begin trying to learn the language of our
neighboring nations, is the moment we begin to truly unify
between nations.
