IELTS; Second Language should be compulsory

for all children?

Sarvar 1 / - Feb 8, 2013 #1

Topic: A second language is regarded as essential to

success in the modern world. It should be a compulsory for
all children to study a second language as soon as they start
school.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Today, we live in a globalised and contemporary world. In
this modernized century it is a vital demand for growing
generation to be able to acquire more than one foreign
languages when they step up to school. Learning
international languages can be beneficial in several aspects
,which is now going to be explained.

Firstly, when a child starts learning language which is not

familiar to him, from early school years, he or she can
develop some part of their brain ,which is responsible to
manipulate new languages. In addition, after finishing their
school, those who obtained international languages
sufficiently can continue their further education in different
part of the world at high ranked and reputably known
Universities.

Secondly, as I mentioned in my introduction, we live in

globalized world where people of different country or nation
can outsource their business from their industrialized world
in to developing countries where labor can be cheaper. Even
though, this foreign companies in many cases pay much
more salary than ordinary national companies due to high
economy condition. In order to be enrolled to this
International companies one of the criteria is considered a
good command of international languages. Therefore if a
parents worry about their off-springs future, if they wish to
see them in high paid job position it would be preferable
provide them with a school where foreign languages is
concerned highly.

In conclusion, I can confidently claim that all the children

should be directed from their early life to be skillful in
learning different languages. Therefore, primarily schools
should introduce a foreign languages to pupils from
beginning of the school year.

Sarvar - Today, we live in a globalisedand contemporary

world.

... contemporary means modern and therefore the word

"today " makes it sounds redundant.

Sarvar - In this modernized century it is a vital demand for

growing generation to be able to acquire more than one foreign
languages when they step up to school.

This sentence has two issues; First, your prompt does not
speak about learning more foreign languages. It speaks
about learning a second language. This second language
can be foreign or even local. For example, an Indian student
learning Hindi and Marathi. So, when you use the word
"foreign", it sounds a bit out of topic. Second, this idea you
had presented in a more complicated way. You can present
it in a more simpler, yet interesting manner;

Therefore, learning a second language, especially an

international language like English would immensely help
students in their future endeavors.

In addition, after finishing their school, those who obtained

international languages sufficiently can continue their further
education in different part of the world at high ranked and

==>I guess this one may be better;

"those who obtain international languages sufficiently can
continue their further education in different parts of the
world"

What do you think.

Sarvar - Secondly,as I mentioned in my introduction(this part

is not necessary) , we live in globalized world where people of
different country or nation can outsource their business from
their industrialized world in to developing countries where
labor can be cheaper.

.... I think it's better you talk about the main idea about
globalization. i.e. globalization has brought different nations
together through technology, trade, education etc. So, today
people do not live in isolated pockets but mix with each
other in a great way. Therefore learning other languages
would be a very handy thing for modern people in contrast
to the older generations.
