ESL004 Discussion: Would You Rather?

As a kid, I used to fantasize about being able to understand animals so I could help them. But as I grew older and became more aware of the realities of the world, I realized that I would rather be fluent in all languages. With that ability, I could do more to help animals—by spreading awareness, influencing laws, and educating others. After all, I know that animals only want something simple: to be loved, to be free, and to be able to do what they want. What’s the use of understanding them if I can’t actually help them? Speaking all languages would give me the power to reach people and make a real difference. I hope someone will agree with me.
