some people say that the only reason for learning a foreign language is in order to travel or work in a foreign country. Others say that these are not the only reasons why someone should learn a foreign languge. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.

although

there are various arguments for and against whether the only reason to learn a foreign tongue is for touring or going for employment. I believe other reasons in terms of communication are merits.

Therefore

, the relevant authorities should encourage

this

practice.
