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 reasons why someone should learn foreign language. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Some masses believe that the
first
and foremost reason for learning a foreign
language
is to get employment or tourism in foreign countries; whereas, others think that there are numerous other causes behind it. I will discuss both these views and will share my opinion.
To begin
with, innumerable folk are learning a new
language
so that they can go to foreign countries for work or travel. As we know, due to the advancement in technology jobs are given to those who are highly educated.
For example
, if a person wants a job in a big company in which they have to deal or communicate with foreigners
then
it's very important to learn a foreign
language
.
Next
tourism is very popular nowadays.
Therefore
, a person needs to learn a new
language
so it can help them while travelling abroad and should be able to communicate with the folk who live there.
That is
why learning a new
language
is becoming a trend.
On the other hand
, as I mentioned above there are numerous other reasons behind it. Like, for
further
studying abroad or for the curiosity of learning a new
language
for entertaining purposes. I am planning on doing my
further
studies in Australia, that's why I am learning English so that I will be able to understand the professors who will be teaching me.
In addition
, when I was in college I was very curious to learn the French
language
, so I took classes to learn it and it was only for entertainment purposes. There are a lot of people who does the same to entertain themselves or to use their leisure time to do things that will be useful. These are
also
the reasons for studying a foreign
language
other than travelling and working. To summarise, the population not only learn a new
language
for tourism or working abroad but
also
for studying and for their personal reasons. Learning a new
language
is crucial nowadays.
