It is true that learning a foreign language can help people understand about the
thinkings and their visions of about the world as well as give them many advantages in
their life afterwards Therefore, it is widely believed that the study of foreign language
should become a mandatory course at all elementary schools For me, I agree with the
statement as having a good command in a language will become a valuable asset for the
children, benefiting their professional carrier for these reasons Firstly, studying
language of another country like English, French and Spanish actually help us not only
understand about their languages but also have a general knowledge about their
traditions, political regimes, cultures, religions and ways of life Moreover, it can give
us a thorough understanding about their outlook on life and world outlook, avoiding
many misconceptions leading to clashes of beliefs and dissimilar view points Secondly,
learning new foreign languages would be an exciting activity for the pupils since the
process of learning will not focus only on the grammar structure and the vocabulary
which is very hard for them to conceive In fact, some audio-visual tools that are
specially made for the children to study like cartoons, video films, musical videos
commonly show about the foreign country’s cultures, traditions, historical places and
their religious practices Therefore, pupils will not only purely learn about the language,
but also have a common understanding about the daily activities of the local people and
some of the cultural places, festivals, ritual performances in that country This fresh
knowledge can bring about excitement and joyfulness for the kids at their immature
period of life Thirdly, nowadays, more and more people are joining international trade
activities, international cooperations and investments and cultural exchanges in this era
of globalisation As a result, it is important for people to able to speak another language
besides their mother's tongue, especially English, French and Spanish So, learning one
of these international languages should be a compulsory course in all primary schools,
being a solid preparation for the future generation In conclusion, studying foreign
languages become an essential thing these days as it brings many benefits for the
people One of the advantages is that we could learn another country’s tradition and
civilisation I personally agree with the statement and I strongly recommend students to
learn new languages from the earliest level of academic years
Learning a foreign language has many advantages including gathering knowledge of
diverse cultures, better job prospects, faster cognitive development, effective
communication skills and so on While some people believe that only reason we should
learn a foreign language is to visit or work in a foreign country, many others opine that
the benefits of learning a different language are not limited to the job and travel
prospects only This essay delves with both points of views
On one hand, it is quite natural that people want to learn a foreign language only to be
able to communicate with people who speak this language Thus a large number of
people learn foreign languages like English, French, German, Spanish, Russian and
Arabic either to visit/migrate or find jobs in countries where people use these languages
From this regards, it seems quite logical that visiting a country or working there is the
main reason people learn a second language In my country, most of the people learn
English and Spanish while almost none learn Russian Migration and job prospects are the reason that has established this trend, I believe
On the contrary, research indicates that cognitive development happens faster among children who learn a second language than those who do not Furthermore, learning a second language is mandatory in an academic syllabus and this helps us understand diverse cultural and traditional aspects People who know more languages are capable
of reading more books, and understanding the lifestyle of different nationalities Again, learning a foreign language helps us make new friends Thus it is evident that learning a foreign language has many other benefits as well
In conclusion, there is no denying the fact that people primarily learn a foreign language to travel to or work in a developed country But it is quite evident that there are far many advantages of learning a foreign language than to work or migrate to a country
Some people claim that the reason for learning a foreign language is only to travel or work However, others believe that these are not the only reasons why people learn a foreign language
It is true that many people learn a language for travel and work purpose In current society, it is important that worker should have second language ability If people do not have this ability, they may be hard to find a job and will become jobless Learn to travel
is also a popular reason, tourists may have better experience if they can speak local language They can make friend with local people easier compare to people who cannot speak local language
However, there are still a lot of reason why people learn foreign language Learn for entertainment is one reason, some people learn foreign language because they want to watch foreign movie For example, one of my friend really love Japanese movies, she learn Japanese because she want to watch the latest movie and do not want to wait for subtitle translation Secondly, learn foreign language is good to understand one country's culture Since translate may differ the original meaning , or is hard to explain
by using other language
In conclusion, there is no doubt that some people learn foreign language for travel and work purpose However, as other reasons I have mentioned, different people have different reasons for learning new language To travel and to work in a foreign is not the only reason
