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

These days, migration and tourism are two common ways to travel to a foreign country. For many

people

, it is hard to keep up with a new

language

;

therefore

people

have to deal with not solely severe social problems

Remove the comma

apply

show examples

but

also

face with practical problems. I tend to agree with

this

opinion, and in

this

essay, I will support my view with examples. One of the most serious social obstacles is cultural shock. The

language

barrier is a cause of

this

issue. Many

people

found it very difficult to make friends when leaving in a foreign country, conversations are not just about food and weather, these contain several topics that require complex vocabulary. Some

people

said that in spite of having linguistic qualifications, they still have problems when talking with native speakers.

As a result

, they usually do not develop good relationships with local citizens and prefer to stay within the confines of their own community.

For example

, my friend who studies abroad in Canada, despite gaining a C1 level on an English test, said she was nervous when she have to debate topics with native students. Another reason for my belief is that the inability to the local dialect may limit job opportunities. Getting a job in a foreign

language

requires a high level of fluency in a

language

, even in work as low-paid as a waiver. So , many immigrants are affected by financial difficulties. Another problem relates to daily activities. If you have little or no knowledge of the local

language

, it may be difficult to understand the contents of packaged goods,

such

as tins or cartons of food, or their cooking instructions, causing them to follow a limited diet. It is widely accepted that nowadays, with the development of technology,

people

could use an alternative tool

such

as Google translates to communicate with local

people

, but it is inconvenient. To sum up, I agree that living in a country with poor access to the local

language

is challenging both socially and practically.

Many major cities today are becoming bigger and more crowded. Why is this happening? What measures can be taken to solve this problem?
Nowadays, several urban areas are becoming bigger and more crowded due to the fact that governments invest more in big towns than rural areas. From my point of view, this issue can be solved whether leaders spend on small cities properly.

Small town center shops are running out of business because rural residents tend to go shopping in big cities store. To what extent do the disadvantages of this development outweigh the advantages?
Rural residents going for shopping in big city stores is resulting in small town centre shops running out of business. Exposure to new products may be argued to be an advantage, but the detrimental effect of the products not being used locally and the fact that sometimes the same product may be available at a higher rate in cities cannot be ignored.
