▶ Your Answer :
Developed technology helps people easily travel around the world.
The costs of travels have been reduced significantly and the conveniences during
the travel have been increased. Some people benefit from this trend
because they enjoy taking a trip, but others avoid to have an opportunity to
live outside their home country. In my opinion, I believe an experience of
living in a foreign country for a long period could positively affect people
even if they have little interest in exotic cultures.
To begin with, it is
essential for a person to learn about foreign languages. Many people
passionately devote themselves to learning foreign languages. Schools, governments
spend a lot of money and time to ensure quality programs facilitating language learning.
Youths completely believe that having a command of a language is one of the crucial
factors deciding whether they get a job. Also, older people pay attention to foreign
language because of pure interest. Needless to say, one of the most efficient methods
to learn a specific language is to visit and to live in a country where people communicate
with this language. People who are living in a foreign country spontaneously
spend much time speaking and listening about the language. After having at
least one year of inhabiting, they could well develop their new language
skills.
On top of that, experience made
of living in an unfamiliar circumstance makes a person independent. When a
person moves into a new environment, everything is novel to him. He has to get
used to a new country’s custom, social construction and culture. Since every decision is hard to make, he must fully concentrate on how things work. This process
makes a person more determinative and wise. For example, one of my cousins
lacks self-control and behaves unplanned. Then his parents had to move out and live
in France. Even if he lived with his parents, he spent much rough time in there
compared to the previous life in his hometown. I had not seen him for several years
before I met him on Christmas Eve, 2010. When I noticed him and had a brief
conversation with him, I found out he had changed completely. He was no
longer a boy who cried whenever he couldn’t get what he wanted.
To sum up, living in a foreign
country helps people develop a new language and grow up. In this regard, I firmly
assert that every individual should spend at least a year living in a foreign
country. |
