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

There is an increasing trend for

people

to choose to move out from their hometown and immigrate to other countries. Several

people

may suggest that everything can be done online, so it is not necessary for speaking a foreign

language

.

By contrast

, someone may think that it is necessary to learn to local spoken

language

if you don’t want to get in trouble in your daily and social life. Considering both sides of the arguments above, I totally agree with the idea that we speak a foreign

language

can turn to severe social and practical problems. There is no shortage of reasons for my stance. Of the reasons why speaking a foreign

language

will trigger many drawbacks, probably the most significant one is that

this

can cause inconvenience in our daily life. Asking

people

sometimes may be faster than we find the information by ourselves. It is vital for us that speaking in the local

language

can make it easier to offer a helping hand to us. Imagine when you need to buy several products in a supermarket in a hurry, yet you don’t know where the products are placed and need to ask the staff about the product’s placement. It is so hard for the staff to know your expression through only body

language

,

this

in turn a time-consuming in the shopping process which the troubles in communication occur. As we are busy and hectic lives, time is vulnerable for us and

thus

speaking in a local

language

can omit the above-exhausted situations. It should

also

be noted that speaking a foreign

language

may build up a barrier to learning the local culture and

people

. As

language

is a crucial part of a country, it included their typical cultures,

such

as slang and pronunciation. When you only speak in a foreign accent, it is not easier to learn the depth of the

language

‘s structure and the behind stories and

this

may trigger some misunderstanding of the culture among the local

people

.

For instance

, there is a concept of the social ladder in Korea, the spoken words that Korean used are different

according to

their ages. What I mean is that

people

need to speak to the elderly with typical words in order to show their respect. Yet, speaking in a foreign

language

is hard to show their respect as much as in a local

language

.

This

will lead the locals to be unwilling to communicate with foreigners and which widens the cultural barriers between the locals and foreigners. Under

this

line of thinking,

although

we can make use of technology for living in a foreign country, I still believe that speaking in the local

language

is of paramount importance so we should learn the

language

to foster them to fully integrate into the culture and society.
