Some people say that the only reason for learning a foreign language is inorder to travel or for 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. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

learn
. Though it is a controversial topic, I personally side with the latter. Travelling to various corners of the world and to
work
 in a foreign nation are two very compelling reasons for a person to learn other languages beside their own.
For example
, I have a friend who works as a clerk in a bank in a nearby village. He never travels and most certainly doesn't need to learn a new
language
 for his
work
. What I'm trying to say here is, most people don't bother learning a
language
that is
 alien to them unless, absolutely required.
Conversely
, there are others who believe that acquiring something new should not be simply limited to a couple of reasons. Learning in itself should be rewarding enough and of course it helps in better understanding of people.
For example
, a colleague in my friend's office studied German during his teenage years.

 it helped him in his career. In conclusion, my opinion on
this
 issue is that, learning a foreign
language
 should not be limited to just two reasons like
work
 and travel. Learning something new must be
