SAMPLE 46
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.
MODEL ESSAY 1:
Many people hold a belief that acquiring a foreign language is only beneficial
when people travel or work overseas. Others claim that there are more reasons
why people learn a foreign language. From my perspective, a foreign language
should be learned for multiple purposes rather than travelling or working.
Some people consider foreign languages as a means to achieve their objectives.
For example, this language plays an important role in moving up their career
ladder. Many people regard the language as a means of communication when
travelling abroad. In this way, they learn a foreign language for many practical
purposes. Many people, on the other way, find other motivation of learning a
language. Many people find passion in exploring the language, or they want to
have a good grasp of the culture of the country. Because the language plays a very
important part in shaping the culture of a country, having an understanding/ a deep
insight of the language may be a bridge to explore a country.
I would argue that there are a variety of reasons why people should acquire a new
foreign language besides for working or travelling. If people only focus on the
practical purposes of learning a foreign language, they would find no joy in
studying it. Besides, learning a language could provide them with a large number
of opportunities to nurture their minds and souls. Thanks to a foreign language,
people could stand a chance to explore the world, and to get access to higher
education opportunities.
In conclusion, the reasons why people study new language are varied, I am
convinced that studying a language should not be only for travelling or working in
a foreign country.
