Do you think English will always be the international language?

why or why not?

     I think English will always be the international language. It is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world and easy to learn. Although Mandarin Chinese has the largest number of the native speakers, English is the international language for academics and business. For the English native speakers, learning Chinese is really difficult. The pronunciation, grammars and words of Chinese is big problems for  those who take Chinese as their second language. In contrast, Chinese native speaker is easier to learn English. According to these reason, I think English will always be the international language.
