1、題目大意

有些人說，學習(xi) 外語的唯一原因是為(wei) 了在外國旅行或工作。其他人則認為(wei) 這些並不是人們(men) 應該學習(xi) 外語的唯一原因。討論一下這兩(liang) 種觀點並給出你的看法。

2、思路解析

這是一道雙邊類大作文，討論的是學習(xi) 外語的原因。雙邊類大作文。雙邊類的題目，需要對每個(ge) 觀點分別表達同意或反對，最終的結論就是我的立場，可以是中立（雙方都同意或都反對），也可以是單邊支持某一方立場。審題時注意兩(liang) 點，一是絕對詞“the only”，一般遇到絕對化表達都是從(cong) 反對角度切入更好，在這道題裏也就是讚同後者觀點。二是這道題目討論範圍限定在“the reason for learning a foreign language”，因此論證一定要圍繞這點展開。下麵月半鴨和大家一起來看下具體(ti) 觀點。

首先來看前者觀點的合理性。對於(yu) 出國旅遊和工作的人來說，為(wei) 了能更好的開展工作或享受旅途風光，確實需要掌握當地外語，以便和當地人交流或閱讀相關(guan) 內(nei) 容。同時有的人人為(wei) 自己平時都在國內(nei) 生活和工作，根本不會(hui) 使用到外語，也就沒有學習(xi) 的必要。

但是，學習(xi) 外語的依然有很多其他理由。比如說留學完成學曆提升就需要掌握對應的語言來獲取國外學校的錄取，以及保障順利完成學業(ye) 。此外，學習(xi) 外語也能幫助人們(men) 更好的與(yu) 其他國家的人進行交流，不僅(jin) 能增長個(ge) 人的見識，也能促進不同文化間的交流與(yu) 傳(chuan) 播。

4、高分範文示例

It has long been a controversy issue why we learn a foreign language. On pragmatists, learning a second language is only out of the purpose to travel and work abroad. Among others, there is more than a fair amount of concern that linguistic learning should benefit people in a more comprehensive way, from both social and cultural aspects.

It is easy to understand why many give priority to travel and work when talking about the issue. Let’s imagine a hypothetical situation in which we visit a strange land with no idea of the local language. Under such circumstance, whenever we try to interact with local inhabitants, the only response will be smirking or swooning expressions in their faces, if not outrage. It makes the same sense to work, especially when someone apply for overseas positions in transnational companies, which usually require the candidates to justify their proficiency in English as a working language.

However, though regarded as the most frequently mentioned reasons, the two points are not justified enough to be crowned as the only motives for learning a second language, when others claim to have more incentives to do so. One of most persuasive reasons nowadays is to study abroad. For those who plan to further study in other countries, to master the local languages of the destinations they are leaving for is undoubtedly the prerequisite before departing. Another blessing worthwhile to emphasize is that acquiring more languages allows for a greater possibility for international communications. With an extra language skill, people are provided more opportunities to interact with others from various cultural backgrounds, which in turn, will enrich individuals’ vision and promote mutual understanding between different nationalities, not to mention the cultural exchange at a national level.

From what has been discussed above, my opinion is that learning a foreign language should not be exclusive to the need of travel or work, as it was traditionally believed. Contemporary world opens more possibilities for the young generations, those who master foreign languages will have more opportunities to embrace better future careers.
