As computers translate quickly and accurately, learning foreign languages is a waste of time. To what extend do you agree or disagree.

With the development of computer science,

people

nowadays can easily translate their mother tongues into every foreign

language

. In light of

this

, some argue that

people

do not need to spend time learning a

second

language

. In my opinion, I partly disagree with

this

idea, at least for now, because the current technology is not enough to translate precisely languages from one to another. Indubitably, online

translation

tools are, at a certain level, helpful and easy to access. These tools basically have the ability to translate a surfeit of simple sentences within a few seconds with minimum mistakes. On

this

account, more and more

people

are relying on

this

function to deal with things that are

language

relevant.

For example

, it has been widely acknowledged that most of the postgraduates in Taiwan have a deep dependence on Google

translation

for writing their English version of dissertations. They claim that

such

a tool can help them save a tremendous amount of time, which is considered a treasure to them.

However

,

people

still need to take time to learn a foreign

language

.

This

is because

language

is too intricate that no existing software programme can precisely and accurately interpret a

language

.

For instance

, during a conversation,

people

sometimes have a tendency of using sentences that have implications that are totally different from the literal meanings.

Therefore

, these

translation

tools absolutely cannot replace an interpreter or a translator. In conclusion, despite computers can quickly translate languages at a low cost, it is necessary to acquire a foreign

language

due to the intricacy of linguistics. From my point of view, before the advent of a comprehensive and powerful

translation

tool, it is better for

people

to possess
