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?

It is often believed that serious social
problems
can occur as much as practical
problems
when we live in foreign
countries
where we should use foreign languages. And I completely disagree with
this
argument. First of all, there are many amount practical
problems
than social
problems
. We should get a job to keep our living in foreign
countries
.
However
, if we did not have good
pronunciation
as well as
the
people
who were born there, and
people
did not understand well our
pronunciation
, we could not keep our jobs much longer.
For example
, the way to pronounce terms of medical in South
Korean
is really different compared with the
pronunciation
in America, so in the case
Korean
doctors
work in America, many American
doctors
cannot understand what exactly
Korean
doctors
say and
this
difference will make both
countries
doctors
harder in working, especially
Korean
doctors
are much harder.
Secondly
, everybody who lives in foreign
countries
can experience a racial distribution. Because of the different colour of skin, some
people
still hate and ignore other
people
from foreign nations and
this
can be followed by the hardness in getting jobs or receiving fewer salaries than usual citizens.
For instance
, I saw the video content of the Orient travellers who visited
countries
in Europe and some restaurants’ staff in Europe ignored that visitors came from Orient
countries
and did not receive their orders. In conclusion,
still
Add a comma
,still
show examples
many practical
problems
can cause more than serious social
problems
because of the foreigners’
pronunciation
and racism. In my case, I fully disagree with
this
statement because of the large difference in the amount of
problems
between social and practical
problems
.
