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.
As time goes by, the importance of learning
foreign language is increasing. As speaking other language is important, there
are some reasons why they want to foreign language. Some people say for traveling
and for working are the only reasons why they learn foreign language, while the
others say there are not the only reasons. This essay will discuss both point
of views and my opinion as well.
First of all, there is no doubt that
speaking foreign languages can be a significant strength in a competitive
society. Because of the competitive society, there are many people who are highly educated or who have high demanding skills. Of course it depends on the jobs, but
mostly, speaking the other language became a necessity, not an options among
many skills. Not only this, as the desire to travel is increasing, a number of
people want to learn language of the country that they want to go to. Consequently,
people have to learn second language in the point of view of the employment
market, and also unless the desire to travel disappears, they will learn
language.
However, it would be cautious to claim that
the only reason why they want to learn language is in order to work or to
travel. Because there are various reasons. As technology advances, many people
can watch or listen their movie and music anywhere anytime easily. Watching or
listening to their contents can cause the interest of their language. For example,
as Kpop is popular, many people not only want to know about the Korea’s cultures,
but also they want to learn about korean.
Actually, it is true that the majority of
the people want to learn foreign language either for traveling or for getting a
job. However, the reasons can be various. I strongly believe there are more reasons
more than I thought.
