Living in a country where you have to speak a foreign language can cause serious social problems, as well as practical problems.
Many
people
believe that living in a country where you cannot speak your first
language brings you some severe social problems
, as well as practical problems
. I strongly agree with this
sentence because living overseas brings people
a great level of isolation and many obstacles. In this
essay, I will discuss why I agree with this
statement and explain some possible problems
caused by it.
One main reason for this
is that living overseas often makes people
feel isolated, especially for students
who have never experienced staying overseas. They often claim the difficulties of communication with other students
in local schools. For example
, when I first
came to New Zealand, I barely spoke a word of English
. Due to my poor English
, I was constantly stressed about being at school where the people
only spoke English
, making me feel left out from everyone. This
led to a number of different mental problems
and physical problems
, which made me way more difficult to go to school.
Furthermore
, being in an environment that requires you to speak a foreign language brings some practical problems
, one of which is a lack of cooperation skills. For instance
, in NZ schools, we have quite a lot of team projects that require people
to work with others. However
, most international students
who cannot speak English
very well, often struggle to build a good relationship with other classmates. This
often leads to the chance of students
stopping to go to school.
In conclusion, living overseas leads to some severe social problems
and practical problems
due to people
's lack of language skills and communication skills.Submitted by hononoki on
