Some people think that machine translation is highly developed in today's society. Therefore it is not necessary for children to learn a foreign language. What's your opinion?

Many argue that studying other
languages
 is not necessary, in spite of the growing use of
machine
translation
.
However
, in my opinion,
children
 should keep studying foreign
languages
 amidst the advent of
machine
translation
.
Furthermore
, I strongly disagree with the argument given pertinent to two main reasons.
First
, utilising engine
translation
 does not guarantee accurate
translation
 results, and even may bring negative effects to the users.
This
 is evident when
people
 still frequently got erroneous translations for some words while using
translation
 applications,
such
 as google translate.
For example
,
this
 case might occur owing to an error that happened in the
translation
 system, given that the
machine
 has to record a myriad of words in various
languages
.
Further
,
this
 faultless has the potential to bring perplexion and misinterpretation to
children
 while learning the language.
Therefore
, it is way better for
children
 to keep studying foreign
languages
 to train their accuracy in practising the language.
Second
, given that the
translation
 result is not naturally produced by the
children
, it might affect the natural connection when it comes to direct communication with foreign
people
.
For instance
, when some
children
 talk to a foreigner using tool
translation
, there will be no natural connection between them in the conversation. Even, the potential of misinterpretation derived from the incorrectness of the
machine
translation
 might compound the situation, resulting in some obfuscations between them.
This
 is why
although
 a cutting-edge technology in
translation
 has massively emerged,
children
 should remain to learn foreign
languages
,
therefore
 they can connect directly with foreign
people
 in the real conversation. In conclusion, though
machine
translation
 has been widely deployed in society, it does not mean that
children
 should not learn foreign
languages
 anymore. The high potential of inaccuracy from the
translation
 result and the importance of interconnection in a real conversation with foreign
people
 become the main reasons why
children
 still need to learn a foreign language.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
