▶ Your Answer :
Based on people's experiences and understanding of the world, some people might say high school students do not need to study a foreign language for three years. It is obvious that the opinions of people with different standards will diverge. However, I believe that high school students have to study a foreign language for three year. My claim will be validated by the two reasons that I will present below.
The first ground for my claim is that student can get better jobs in the future. In modern society, competition is so fierce. As skills and knowledge of population advance further, we are required to become more knowledgeable than before. The expected level of knowledge is going up, so people are doing their best to distinguish themselves from others. So, if students learn a foreign language for three years, it gives more chances to students to get a better job. For example, I learned Chinese, when I was high school student. For three years, I learn a lot. So I was able to speak and write Chinese perfectly. Then when I graduated high school, I received several offers from companies. The reasons they chose me was that they needed a person who had speaking and writing skills of Chinese. So, I worked for one of the major companies in Korea with high salary. As shown through the example, it is clear that studying a foreign language is necessary for high school student to get better jobs.
Additional support for my statement is that it gives chances to make foreign friend. I mean is that if students speak and write another language, they can make relationship with people who use another different language. Accordingly, they can broaden their relationship. In this society, one of the important things in live is human relationship. For instance, I have some foreign friends. I met them in England 4 years ago. It is possible to talk to them because I spoke Chinese. If I did not speak Chinese I could not get to know them. While I traveled, we could have the quality time with them. I still keep in touch with them. The example amply demonstrates that students can broaden their human relationship if they learn a foreign language for three year.
Through the examples presented above, I strongly believe that my claim has been effectively delivered. Concrete examples from real life have compelled me to take aforementioned stances. |
