Band 7

living in a country where you have to speak a foreign language can cause serious social problems, as well as practical problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

#country #language
It is clear that living in a foreign
country
 has its own benefits and drawbacks to consider. I agree with
this
 statement,
however
,I think that anybody coming to another provincial should respect the national
culture
. In
this
 essay, I would like to outline the social and practical problems. The social problems would be speech barrier, which means that an individual coming from another
country
 might not be able to speak and understand the language which might be a problem as far a guy who is living in a
country
, and a
person
 who came in the
country
. Another problem is linked to the language barrier, but it might influence the behaviour of others. An individual who comes into the
country
 might offend others with their behaviour or language.
For example
; some cultures like English people prefer to be very polite and say things differently from other cultures.
Therefore
, a
person
 who doesn't know how to behave in a particular
culture
 might offend others around him.The practical problems would be a misunderstanding of
culture
. That means that a
person
 who visits other countries does not understand other
culture
 and he behaves as he wants to. The
second
 practical problem is finding a job. An individual who works in a foreign
country
 might not be appropriate for people whom he serves.
For example
,if an individual works in a restaurant, the people who live in a
country
 and they were born in that
country
 might not respect and not like the behaviour of a
person
 who works in a restaurant, it might be because the cultures are different. To summarize, it can be said that there are a lot of misconceptions which people have when they come in a foreign
country
, and in my opinion and from my personal experience people should educate themselves in order to know how to behave in different situations with different cultures.
