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 a foreign language. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Nowadays
people
often discuss whether learning a foreign
language
is only aimed at working or studying abroad. Both views have their own explanations, but in my opinion, there are various reasons to study a foreign
language
. On the one hand, it is true that most
people
learn English as a
second
language
in order to study or work abroad.
For instance
, students taking English lessons to prepare for
language
tests as the premise to go to college in another country. In many international corporations, employees may have to travel internationally to attend conferences or events, they need to fluently communicate with
people
from other parts of the world, so learning new languages are essential for them.
However
, many individuals are not intended to make trips to another country; so they may not motivated to learn different languages.
On the other hand
, despite
