ExampleHello.
I think people should learn a foreign language.
1 These days, many people work in other countries. Some companies require
employees to speak the country’s language. When employees learn a foreignlanguage, they have better job opportunities.
2 Also, learning a foreign language makes traveling in another country easy. It’s very
helpful when asking local people for directions or recommendations.
Thank you.
Hello.
I don’t think people should learn a foreign language.
1 First, learning a foreign language takes effort, money, and time. Not everyone has
the motivation, budget, and time to do it.
2 Second, it’s difficult to learn a foreign language. I tried learning Chinese in the past
but gave up after two months. I had a hard time learning Chinese pronunciation.
Thank you.
