Writing Practice As the world is increasingly globalised, people become easier exposed to multiple languages. Although there are different reasons for second language acquisition, travelling or working abroad is the main purpose. Some people find it simply useful to learn a foreign language if they plan to travel or work abroad. It is true that people seldom have chances to use it in their own country. Although communication online become popular and international, people do not speak a foreign language a lot in their daily life. A translation software is enough in the international online communications. In this case, it hardly needs to learn a foreign language systematically. But for people who travel or work abroad, it is necessary to master the language widely used in their tourism destination or work places. On the other hand, some other people would argue that travelling or working abroad are not the only purposes of second language acquisition. The ways of thinking are not the same in different cultures. A language is deeply rooted in its culture. Mastering a foreign language is associated with the comprehension of its culture and its mode of thinking. This can help people view the problems from diverse perspectives. In addition, most language enthusiasts are obsessed with multilingual learning just out of interest. I am of the opinion that it can not be limited to tourism or work-related purpose of foreign language acquisition. People can benefit a lot from mastering a foreign language, such as a broader view of the world. Therefore it is profitable to learn a foreign language, not merely for travelling or working abroad.
