Band 7

Living in a country where you have to speak a foreign language can cause serious social problems, as well as practical problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

#country #language
Many
people
 migrate to a foreign
country
 in search of better work and living environments. They have to use an entirely unknown
language
, and
this
 can result in serious social and practical challenges. I completely agree with
this
 point of view and I will provide arguments and examples in the following paragraph.
To begin
 with, establishing friendships with local
people
 of a foreign
country
 is not easy and non-native
people
 need to speak fluently. Actually, for making friends abroad,
people
 have to know more than just a basic grasp of the
country
’s
language
 they live in. In
this
 case, talking only about weather conditions is not sufficient and non-native
people
 require to speak about different topics to native
people
 for making friends.
In addition
, when you live in another
country
 there are many occasions that you have to use the local
language
 in your life, so speaking the local
language
 is unavoidable. To illustrate
this
, a person who does grocery shop needs to speak in their native
language
 to purchase his items.
Therefore
, for communicating with
people
 in different situations
such
 as buying goods, working every day, talking to others and all various things
people
 in a foreign
country
 have to know the
language
 of that
country
. In conclusion, individuals who immigrate to another
country
first
 need to speak the
language
 of native
people
 to build friendship and
second
 to interact well with others to handle their basic needs in their life.
Otherwise
, they face lots of issues in their life.
