some people say that the only reason for learning a foreign language is in order to travel to or work in a foreign country. others say that these are not the only reasons why someone should learn a foreign language. discuss both these views and give your opinion.
In
this
present world, learning a new language
is of the most popular aspects of our lives. However
, there is still an ongoing debate on whether learning a new language
is related only to working or travelling purposes or there are other reasons for it. The argument that learning a new language
is related only with travelling or working in a foreign country is an argument that is
both agreed and disagreed with by many. The two sides of this
argument will be thoroughly analysed and discussed in this
essay before drawing a reasoned conclusion.
First
of all, lots of people try to learn a new language
in order to prevent any communication problems that they could face when they are abroad for travelling or working purposes. For example
, a Chinese man might have some difficulties in terms of communicating with the locals when he is in Africa. Another example is a Vietnamese man working in a coffee shop in France. It would be very challenging for him to communicate with people without any knowledge of the French language
. This
is why some people argue that learning a new language
is associated only with travelling and working purposes.
Nevertheless
, learning a foreign language
could be related to educational purposes. For instance
, nowadays, lots of students want to study abroad in terms of getting their master's degree, since it would be beneficial for their career. Generally, those students have to prove that they have a basic knowledge of that country’s language
in order to get admission. Therefore
, it is clear that learning a new language
is not associated only with travelling or working purposes, rather it could be related to educational purposes.
To sum up, reasons for learning a foreign language
is still argued by many. However
, after a thorough analysis, it is clear that besides
travelling and working abroad, there could be other reasons for learning a foreign language
. Therefore
, I disagree with the idea that suggests travel to or work in a foreign country is the only reason for learning a foreign language
