Comenzamos una sección en esta entrada bajo el título "Learning a Foreign Language", en la cual varios alumnos de 4º de E.S.O. aportarán sus reflexiones acerca del aprendizaje de otras lenguas haciendo uso precisamente de un segundo idioma, en este caso, la lengua inglesa.
Now all the Spanish people have to study a foreign language at school. However, some people think that the teaching of a foreign language should be optional. But there are different points to consider.
On the one hand, knowing a foreign language makes it easy to travel to other countries and also to understand other cultures. For example, you can listen to songs in other languages and understand them.
On the other hand, knowing a language helps you to get a good job in the future. That's why some people think that it is necessary to learn a foreign language at school. There are many jobs for which you don't need to learn foreign languages and some students prefer spending their free time in other issues.
In conclusion, there are advantages and disadvantages for the learning of a foreign language, but I think that it is important for everyone to have an opportunity to learn a language at school.

Learning a foreign language is very important for the future because if you want to work abroad, you need to know the country's language.
Knowing another country gives you access to more information on the web because many texts are written in other languages.
Another reason for learning another language is that you can travel to more countries without any trouble in understanding people.
Besides, it will show you other cultures, lifestyles and ways of thinking. You can meet new and interesting people and understand their customs.

I think learning foreign languages is very important in people's lives because it's a powerful cultural resource.
When someone is able to speak a foreign language, he can communicate with other people from other cultures and learn other ways of life. Knowing about habits and customs in other countries helps you to open your mind and you can become a more tolerant person.
The more language you speak the better it will be for you because you can travel with more safety and it will help you to find a job.
I would like to speak a lot of languages because I love travelling but it is very difficult for me. I will make an effort.
