While many people hold the opinion that people should learn foreign languages
only for travelling and working, other’s ideas imply about many reasons to study
foreign languages besides above reasons. Although foreign languages support
overseas travel and work significantly, I am of the opinion that other purposes
should also be taken into consideration.
On the one hand, the benefits of working and travelling that learning foreign
languages bring to people are undeniable. Firstly, working abroad with a high
level of foreign languages is certain to be more confident in communication among
employers and co-workers. This results in a more effective contact among work
environment. Furthermore, as regards overseas travel, foreign languages are
necessary. When a visitor travels in other countries, languages impact to his or her
activities dramatically. For instance, he or she is possible to contact domestic
people/indigenous inhabitants or enjoy local activities easily. Besides, visitors
are likely to avoid accidents such as going astray or cheating actions by the
excellent level of foreign languages.
On the other hand, there are many reasons in order to learn foreign languages. One
of the reasons which can be indicated is that learning foreign languages can help
the brain to work more effectively. Studying and speaking more than one language
are certain to improve thinking the speed of brain because using many kinds of
languages can contribute to the quick of reflecting and solving information of
brain. Moreover, studying foreign languages is also an ideal method to research
other nations’ culture. The culture of a country is usually contained in the
languages. Thus, one of the effective ways to learn about a culture is learning
languages of the country which own the culture.
In conclusion, while overseas travel and work are suitable reasons to learn
foreign languages, it seems to me that studying foreign languages can come from
some other reasons which are also suitable for personal purposes.
