IELTS TASK 2: Living in a country where you have to speak a foreign language It is true that speaking a different language in foreign country may face a lot of obstacles on both society and living. In my opinion, I believe that foreigners can enjoy their lives without speaking the native language of the country. The first obstacle of speaking a foreign language in a country is inconvenience. While more and more people are bilingual, foreigners don’t always meet these people. Some meanings cannot be explained clearly and properly may cause misunderstanding between people which is commonplace in the daily life. Secondly, it is difficult to expand social circle without knowing native language of the country. Foreigners may lose a lot of opportunities to enjoy local culture and having different social life in the foreign country. In spite of above argument, I support the view that foreigners still live well in the country which they are not able to speak its language. The main reason is that speaking the same language is not the only way to have a conversation among people. It is more easily to use our body language such as different pose and vivid movements to explain our thinking and feeling. In addition to moving our bodies, there are a lot of useful software and technology developed for translating. For example, google dictionary can translate the words into user’s own language automatically and support hundreds of languages in the world. With body language and powerful technology, I believe that foreigners can have a lot of enjoyment when living in a different country. In conclusion, it seems to me that while being unable to speak native language of the country may cause inconvenience, I believe that foreigners can still solve most of the problems by their own way.
