После того, как тема перефразирована, приступим с аргументации.
PRO
- There are not many people who can master a second language on a proper level, it takes years and a considerable amount of money to do courses and buy student books, but the result might not be satisfying (or satisfactory).
- It seems hard to use foreign language knowledge in everyday life for a person who lives in a native country and whose profession is not connected with other languages, so even having studied it, this person can easily forget it without regular practice.
- Acquisition of a foreign language rarely provides any benefits to a learner because it is used only during short trips to other countries, but not as a source of income on a daily basis.
CON
- While learning a foreing language a person broadens his or her horizons, improves communication skills, strengthens memory and makes friends with people doing the same course, so learning languages is extremely beneficial for every aspect of life.
- Knowledge of a foreign language allows a person to communicate with more people around the world, freely travel or find a job requiring the ability to speak this language.
- Speaking foreign languages has always been prestigious and a feature of an intelligent and well-educated person, so this quality will be a tangible feather in one’s cap to impress a possible employer or any occasional acquaintance.
Мне очень хотелось привести аргумент, что сейчас изучение языка не обязательно дорогой, а иногда и быстрый процесс, но аргумент был бы слишком противоречивым, поскольку, далеко не каждый может сам выучить язык в короткий срок, хотя примеры полиглотов-самоучек всем известны.
Надеюсь, мои аргументы показались вам интересными, а я лишь предложу заключение
All in all, learning foreign languages is\ is not a waste of time and money, as some people believe.
