IELTS Writing task 2: Is there only one reason for learn a foreign language? 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 opinions. The reason for learning a foreign language has been hotly discussed, and become the controversial topic, so, Is the only reason for learning a foreign language is for traveling or work in that foreign country? I think the idea that learning a foreign language is in order to travel to or work in there, includes part of the truth, but not exactly. In my opinion, i do believe that people learn that language is usually in the consideration of working in there or studying at there, and people hardly ever learn that language is just for traveling. For traveling, it is not necessary for traveler to learn the foreign language, as the time they spend on studying is just the same with that of traveling on that country. Further more, learning a foreign language not only spend too much time in comparison to the tour, but also cost a lot of money, if there is a employed work who want to travel in a foreign country, he have to ask for leave, it must reduce the amount of salary, and he should take the lessons for a short term to learn about the diary conversation topic just like that, because of the easy degree of these kinds of topics usually cost less courses rather than academic topics. If he does not satisfied with this degree of lessons , it will cost more than that of before. Unless the realistic reason for learning a foreign language, there are some people learn the foreign language is just for their enthusiasm to the foreign culture. For example, there is a group of people named seduction, they love their favorite star who is in that nationality. To understand the meaning of their stars’ songs, to sing these songs, they are willing to learn the foreign language by themselves. Their enthusiasm is never appeared in their academic career, but happen on here. No matter cost how many money and time, they do it for their favorite stars. In conclusion, some people can learn a foreign language for their favorite star, others can learn a foreign language for finding their jobs, but not traveling.
