IELTS Writing task 2

Topic:

Living in a country where you have to speak a foreign language can cause serious problems, as well as practical problems.

To what extend do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Answer:

It is commonly believed that speaking a second language beside the mother tounge in a country can result in various benefits. However, I firmly believe that using more than one language in a country can lead to misunderstandings and communication in conservations and the disappearance silently of that country's national language.And this essay will address the reasons for my view as follows.

To begin with, a great deal of advocates are inclined towards the fact that speaking a foreign language makes both speakers and listeners misunderstand and miscommunicate. This is due to the fact that citizens can be limited in approaching foreign languages. In other words, people who live in rural or isolated areas do not have a chance to learn a new language sufficiently without any challenges so people cannot be in the same level of second language. As a result, communication becomes much less effective as the language gap is.

On top of that, one country's mother tongue can be likely to disappear in some day. This is because of the excessive use of foreign language among the residents. People enjoy showing their high level of proficiency in a foreign language with the others so they do not tend to use foreign language instead of their mother tongue. In a long term, they may lose traditional and cultural values attached to their first language themselves.

In conclusion, ineffective communication and losing a mother tongue are the outcomes of using a foreign language in one country. For these reasons, it is clear that heritage of a community could be collapse if there is lack of balanced language usage.
