Writing : A position essay (final)

There are many things that we should do and we want to do in college. I think that learning a new language should be on the top of the things-to-do list. Although learning foreign languages has been regarded as an important thing since primary school, that in college actually can change the whole life.
First of all, you attain another means to live your life as you become able to read and speak a new language. A language is a tool to contact with the world. It is possibile to live with only one tool, but it is much easier with more than two. You will get more knowledge and chances if you have more tools than others. In an age of globalization and an information-oriented society, you can strengthen your competitiveness by learning languages. In fact, many companies and universities offer more opportunities for jobs or scholarships to those who speak more than three languages.
Another reason is that you can improve your attitude while learning a new language. These days, society wants active and spirited people who can mix with other people well and express their opinions clearly. Contrary to other kinds of learning, you are required to speak out when learning a language. If your ability is not enough to express your thought, you will learn to use body language including a variety of facial expressions. Eventually, you will talk and communicate with others more actively.
Finally, learning a language deepens your understanding of others. You need more than books when you want to speak a foreign language fluently. So, you will naturally encounter the life of those who speak the language by music, movies and so on. They include not only the language itself but also history or culture. For instance, if you watch a movie 'Farewell My Concubine' to study Chinese, you will get to know the history of modern China mixed with the main story. Meeting with a different culture and life, you learn that there are various lives out there, and thus, you will get to understand others better.
After graduation, it is hard to take time for learning something different, and it's more difficult when you get a job. Therefore, it's very important to learn a new language in college. It can be your strong asset, improve your attitude, and help your understanding of difference. If you are just wandering the campus in worry about future, I strongly recommend you to start learning a new foreign language.
