Companies which want to access in their field are changing their official language in their company. For example, Rakuten, and Fast Retailing, were among the first to switch. Now they are being joined by old-economy companies such as Honda and bridgeston. It is completely easy to understand why they are changing their official language in their company. The reasons are like this. English makes it easier to recruit global stars, reach global markets, assemble global production teams and integrate foreign acquisitions. Such steps are really important to companies in Japan, where the population is decreasing. It is very beneficial to promote human resources, to raise potential employee and so on.

all in all, adopting a common mode of speech isn’t just a good idea; it’s a must

I will give you some reasons to support this opinion.

First of all,
 
companies do not have to worry about the barrier of language and it will promote comrade communication all over the world. For example, if you go to the foreign office in your company, you don’t only have to worry about language barrier but also it will bring great profits to companies, since the communication allows us to talk perfectly what they want to do in their job. Likewise, if you want to buy or sell, you have to be able to communicate with a diverse range of customers, suppliers, and other business partners.

In addition to this,

better language comprehension gives employees more flesh information, which is vital to good decision making. For example, Swiss food giant Nestlé suceeded to vut redundant costs in factories and so on. Thanks to its enforcement of English as a company standard. In other word, to success at globalized world, you have to have an ability to speak in English. On the other hand, Companies that fail to devise a language strategy are essentially limiting their growth opportunities to the markets where their language is spoken, clearly putting themselves at a disadvantage to competitors that have adopted English-only policies.

Then, to accomplish it, at japan,
 
 it is inevitable to make English as an official language in japan since people’s attitude toward English is really low. Therefore, to boost economy and to make an important role in the world politics, we have to consider to make English as official language in japan to take a pivotal part in the world.

  1. You combined the viewpoints from multiple sources fairly well but please be careful about plagiarism. These sentences were the exact words from your original sources:

    "Now they are being joined by old-economy companies such as Honda, a carmaker, and Bridgestone, a tyre maker."

    "Swiss food giant Nestlé saw great efficiency improvements in purchasing and hiring. Thanks to its enforcement of English as a company standard."

    Make sure that you properly quote and paraphrase, even when you're citing the original source.
