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 reason why someone should learn a foreign language. discuss both these view and give your own opinion.

It is argued that some people have a strong conviction the only reason why they learn a foreign country, while others have a different view. These are arguments on both sides, which I will discuss them now. On the one hand, travelling might be much easier, if we know the local
language
.
For
example
, there was one time, when I was in Penang hill
,

Malaysia, someone walked toward me for asking a direction. She comes from china and unfortunately she could not speak in

English
. She showed me a map on her
handphone

, while
pointed
Suggestion
pointing
with her finger on one place on that map, but all places in that map were written in china. It took several people to be asked by her
untill
up to, before the time
until
she got an answer. If she knew a daily local
language
, she probably did not spend much time and effort about the direction.
Lastly
, working in a foreign country
also emphasize

skill. It will help the workers to survive.
For
example
, My father got an offer to work
at
Suggestion
in
Qatar between 2005 and 2018.
Eventhough

On the other hand

also need

.
For
example
, I live in

Indonesia
, but I got a job at japan company. We use
bahasa

Bahasa
when we are among Indonesia worker,
however
, my manager have to speak in

English
when presentation and reporting to our BOD member. The better communication skill he has, the better team work he has.
This
teamwork will lead to get a better achievement.
Lastly
, some people who
love
a foreign culture
also
have a reason to learn about the
language
.
For
example
, I
love
all about

of or relating to or characteristic of Korea or its people or language
Korean
culture. I
love

their traditional clothes) and their historical drama. My
love
for it lead me to learning their
language
for having a better understanding. In conclusion, I believe travelling and working in a foreign country is not the only reason why some people eager to learn a foreign
language
. Working at
foreign company
Suggestion
a foreign company
and loving a foreign culture
also
take a part why they learn a foreign
language
.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
