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.
Language
is an essential human life
's skill. Some people
think learning a new language
is merely working or living overseas. In my opinion, I strongly agree with those who believe there are other advantages of learning a new language
. In this
essay, I will examine both views and the following examples will be provided in order to support my point of view.
On the one hand, some people
think that the benefit of learning a foreign language
is to travel to or work in a foreign country since they are likely to be worthless and a waste of time for those who do not want to live abroad. For example
, according to the latest survey conducted by Bangkok University, it has been revealed that 80% of pupils who are studying in mandatory education in Thailand tend to ignore the English language
because they do not want to live abroad in their future life
. Thus
they do not think it is worthy to study a new language
apart from their mother tongue.
On the other hand
, I agree with those who believe that there are many advantages to learning a new foreign language
. Firstly
, people
will gain worldwide knowledge assets which would be different from ordinary. Secondly
, people
who have learnt another language
will not have barriers in communication whether in personal life
or work growth. Third
, it would bring more opportunities to people
who can communicate in more than one language
in career pathways even in their own country. This
is because today's world has changed dramatically particularly in the business field, many countries around the world have participated in the trading world. Therefore
, I strongly believe that learning a foreign language
will not be beneficial to only those who are going overseas, however
, it will bring some changes to enhance well-being.
In conclusion, in my ,opinion there are many positive impacts of learning a foreign language
, this
includes personal life
such
as travelling, communication and career growth.Submitted by boon.suchaya on
