Do you know
why I am always in support of learning a foreign language? The reasons are as
follows:
1. Improve
your English
I know
this might not make sense at first but hear me out. As a person who speaks only
one
language, you
have no basis for comparison（比较）；all
you know is English. In different languages the same idea is often expressed in
different ways. You will find yourself speaking and writing more creative
sentences. There is a reason why most great writers and poets are students of
many languages.
2.______________
Travelling
is one of the great joys of life and also one of the most wonderful experience.
Why not get the most out of your experience? If you don't know the native
language of the country that you are visiting, you are completely excluded
from the culture. The locals（当地人）don't
speak to you. Knowing even a few phrases will make a huge difference. You will
meet more people and find it much easier to get around.
3. Join the
global community
The majority of the world does not speak English. The truth
is that new thoughts and ideas are happening everywhere and they are not being
immediately translated. The world is getting smaller and we are coming into
contact(接触)
with more non-English speakers all the time. Gain an advantage for yourself in
business and personal relationships by being able to communicate with people in
their language.
Now that you know three great reasons for learning a foreign
language, do it right now.
