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 own opinion.

Many may say, its a fact, that today's society has almost erased all its borders and soon will become limitless in what concerns travelling for both work and pleasure.
Therefore
, if
this
is to happen,
then
learning a new
language
is necessary. Nowadays, learning a new
language
for the purpose of working in other countries seems to become more and more popular. Adults in need of money or, why not, recognition are trying to pursue their happiness far away from home.
Also
, the initial days of employers looking only for capable people have gone. It seems that today's employers are looking for multi-skilled employees, but they
also
want people who know more than their mother tongue. Sooner or later, those who omitted learning more are prone to become jobless.
However
, to my mind, a new vocabulary shouldn't be learned just for travelling or working in an overseas. A foreign
language
should help the learner broaden his mind. By
this
mean that the new
language
should and will allow us to understand more about the world itself, and maybe our ancestors ways of thinking and acting. Needless to say, knowing another
language
will help us when it comes to understanding the human race, because accent is the
first
poem of a country. All of
this
being said, my opinion is that learning a different communication methods should be not only for satisfying our physical needs, like money, but
also
our moral needs, because never before had
such
a big thrust for knowledge been displayed.
