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
There is no doubt that people are becoming multilingual nowadays. Living in the country which speaks a foreign
language
 tends to help to adopt and learn the
language
 faster than learning it from a place where the
language
 is not spoken at all and I completely agree with
this
.
Firstly
, because of increased exposure to the
language
, it often takes less time to learn a new
language
. Constantly
hearing
the act of hearing attentively
listening
 and trying to understand and negotiate with native speakers on a daily basis does provide that extra boost required to get used to it.
For example
, if a child is born and brought up in France, it is highly likely that the person will be fluent in French, even if there is no French speaker at home.
Hence
, being in continuous touch definitely is one of the main reasons of the fluency, without which there might not be enough scope to practice.
Additionally
, the native
language
 is often included in school course and students are forced to learn it.
This
 usually prepares children from a very young age to be well versed with the
language
, and they already quite experienced with all aspects of it.

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
