To Learn A Foreign Language, It Is Necessary To Live In The Country Where It Is Spoken. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#language #country
Some people believe that in order to learn a non-native
language
, it is required that people move to the
country
 whose people speak that
language
.
This
 essay agrees with
this
 statement because living in a foreign
country
 provides an option to speak their local
language
 regularly and
also
 improve their
accent
.
To begin
 with, one reason why I believe that people learn foreign
language
 when they move abroad is because they use that
language
 on day-to-day basis.
This
 is because many local people of the host
country
 do not understand their native languages and in order to communicate they have no other option but to learn the foreign
language
.
This
 provides them opportunities to practice foreign
language
 and learn more vocabulary, and gradually they start speaking that
language
 at an advanced level.
For example
, a recent study suggested that the children who moved to Canada, an English speaking
country
, from different part of the world at their early age speak English fluently. Another advantage is that it improves the
accent
.
This
 is because
although
 it is possible for people to learn basic foreign
language
 in their own
country
, they usually mix the
accent
 of their native
language
 with the foreign
language
.
For instance
, according to a study, 60% of Indians can communicate in English,
however
, their
accent
 is completely different from those who are native speakers.
In contrast
, according to a recent survey, 99% of Indian who moved to English speaking countries at their childhood were able to speak that
language
 the way the local people of that
country
 does, when they grew up. In conclusion, due to the practice which makes them perfect in a foreign
language
 and improved
accent
, I believe that it is necessary for people to migrate to a
country
 where that
language
 is spoken.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
