WHY STUDENTS SHOULD ACQUIRE A SECOND LANGUAGE???

Some of the students these days dont take a second language seriously eventhough most of us learnt them since primary or even kindergarden.By now students should realise that they must acquire a second language which is english not just learn and forget.We use it internationally and students should master it and practise it.

One of the main reason especially students are:

To improve chances of entry to study abroad-how are we going to study abroad without knowing english?if we dont acquire fluency in  english  we definately going to face difficulty in communication.When we know the language, we have the comfort to of being able to successfully navigate all sorts of situations.Eventhough not all country speak english and require us to take third language but it is better than nothing.





To communicate with foreigners in our country-Malaysia are known with places for foreigners to discover and travel.Especially our country now are opening eyes of the world so we should give them the best treat especially in communication.Foreigners surely will be asking us for directions and places of interest, are we going to run from their question and hide.Not a really good impression to them right?

To increase confidence when facing people-even in our education system are using english mainly in universities.All presentations,assignments and lectures are in english.We can understand more if we acquire second language and not being blurry in class.If we master english no more shame in presenting and publically speaking infront of people .


Broaden horizons-this means we can make friends with people around the world and learn their culture.

No more subtitle/translation!-english movies,tv shows or books are now can be translated when aired.So if we acquire our second language we are able to understand and not watching or reading the subs (because most of them are not fun to read and sometimes we missed the best joke)

Job?-english has beome the lingua franca in many parts of the world so we have to learn english to work at a multinational counrty (commonly this kind of company pays higher). This is for the students who are graduating in the future think how acuiring a second language effects big part of it.
