Some people say that the only reason for learning a foreign language is in order to travel to or work in a foreign country. Others say that these are not the only reasons why someone should learn a foreign language. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
A group of individuals present the view that only the
people
who tend to travel or work in a different country have to learn a foreign language
, whereas
, others believe there are many other reasons for learning a language
. I strongly agree with the latter opinion.
On the one hand, some people
justifiably argue that learning a language
can have several purposes, such
as getting familiar with other cultures and beliefs which can result in many benefits. Firstly
, you can easily vast your connection circle and connect with foreigners in a proper way. Secondly
, it can be very beneficial to your business even if you have no intention to immigrate to other countries to find a more decent job. For example
, one of my peers in university had a great skill in speaking French and that particular skill helped him to connect with some French counterparts which led him to achieve great success.
On the other hand
, another group of people
claim that learning a language
without an intention to travel or finding an occupation in a foreign country would be a waste of time. They insist that the time which will be spent on learning a language
is significantly valuable and we should spend that time on something more useful to our future. However
, I do not find this
argument convincing because, nowadays, the whole world is trying to expand their communication circle which plays a vital role in one’s success and I believe, people
who do not find this
important will regret it very soon.
To conclude
, in my view, there are sensible reasons why we should learn a language
. Moreover
, in a world of communications, it would be very illogical to see only a few reasons for learning a language
