<span class='text_page_counter'>(3)</span> 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 TQT. EXTRA COURSE - GRADE. 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.. TEST No.. DeThi.edu.vn.
