&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Language is undeniably an essential implement for people to communicate with each other. Without language, human being can only use body movement or draw pictures for communication which always leads misunderstanding. For example, the ancestors of human being evaluated slowly because they did not create language to effectively share and record their knowledge. Therefore, language can only be beneficial but not harmful. If people study more than one language, it does not only help people success in societies but also in schools and businesses. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Second language can help people to success in societies. Trying to imagine that if two people do not have the same language, how would they communicate with each other? Not only do languages assist people to socialize in order to meet friends easily, but people also find a way to be close with their grandparents. Because now people travel countries to countries for improving their quality of lives, relatives are over the world. Therefore, lacking of their original languages are very common in our new generation. If a child who only speaks English loves his or her grandparents who only speak Chinese, the child has to learn a second language Chinese in order to communicate with his old relative. In short, learning a second language could help people to build strong relationship with the people whom they love.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; If students are comfortable with their second language, it helps them learn at schools. &amp;nbsp;For international students, it is always true because containing enough a language is one of the requirements to go into university. For example, if foreign students who want to study at University of Calgary are not capable of using English, they are not allowed to take any undergraduate course. However, for those international students who are already familiar with speaking, reading, writing and listening in English, they avoid taking some English programs. In other words, they save more time in order to take their major.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; All employers would like their co-workers are bilingual. Employers would rather pay more money and hire the bilinguists in order to improve their competitiveness. As a result, bilinguists have more jobs opportunities. It does not only benefit the bilinguists but also the companies. For instance, there are a lot of Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese speakers living in the area around a Chinese supermarket. As a result, the Chinese supermarket has to hire some employees who can speak neither Cantonese nor Mandarin so that the employees are able to communicate with Cantonese and Mandarin speaker customers. For that reason, the bilinguists can use their second language in a proper job, the company is more attractive to draw customers to shop because they have flexible language speakers as their employees, and the customers feel more convenience to shop.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Wherever people are living, studying, and working, second languages improve peopleâs ability of meeting new friends, the skill of learning, and the capacity of earning money. Therefore, it is always not late to learn a second language. Maybe there are billion people learning a second language now.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: (HELP) advantages of learning a second language</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/AdvantagesLearningSecondLanguage/vgwcz/post.htm#365913</link><pubDate>Wed, 16 May 2007 13:19:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:365913</guid><dc:creator>Feebs11</dc:creator><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/AdvantagesLearningSecondLanguage/vgwcz/post.htm#365913</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments9-365913.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Ask yourself some questions about the value of languages.
