esperanto_story1-9, Exercise 3: "Why not just use English?"

Model answer (check the details):

"English is already the main international language of business, science and travel, so for most people it is the practical choice. Hundreds of millions use it, and the cost of switching would be enormous. On the other side, English gives its native speakers a large and lasting advantage, and other people spend years learning it and may never reach the same level. Esperanto's supporters say a neutral and easier language would be fairer. Both are true: English works because so many already use it, and the fairness argument is about values, not only efficiency. Whether the fairness argument justifies the cost of change is the real disagreement."

Care: say what each side values, and do not assume the answer is obvious.
