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
Living in a foreign
country
 where we have to speak can cause some problems in communication as well as actual issues. I agree with
this
 point partially and I will provide the reason for both points of view.
First
 of all, living in a foreign
country
 can have a lot of difficulties since we can not speak their
language
.
This
 can lead to misunderstanding between local
people
 and foreign
people
 due to the fact that they can not explain what they really want.
For example
, in the Thai ,
language
, the pronunciation of older
people
 and the pronunciation of ghosts are pretty similar since the difference is only tone. If we do not pronounce it carefully, the local
people
 will misunderstand and
this
 can lead to social issues.
Secondly
, the local
people
 can scam us by delivering the wrong items when we ordered online.
Lastly
, we can even be in a fight or serious cases
such
 as rape and kidnapping.
For instance
, there are many common cases where some Thai Taxi drivers drive the wrong way to rape Myanmar girls.
This
 happened because they already knew that these girls can not speak their
language
.
Therefore
, the taxi driver probably thinks that the girl can not inform the police for help.
On the other hand
, due to the development of ,technology, we can say what we want by writing our
language
 on the translator application and it will automatically translate our sentences or words.
Hence
, the misunderstanding between foreigners and local
people
 can be solved . In conclusion, it is completely true that living in another
country
 is not as comfortable as living in our own
country
 but we can solve some problems with the development of technology.
