«Studying foreign languages» (Сочинения ЕГЭ английский язык)

Nowadays there are a lot of debates about studying foreign languages. Some people think that it is a very useful thing while others are strongly against. Which of these opposing opinions is more reasonable and acceptable?

In my opinion, a good command of English, Spanish, French or any other foreign language can help you a lot in the future or even change your life. Firstly, fluent speaking of one, two or more foreign languages is extremely beneficial for your future career. It gave you a chance to work in big international companies and get high salary. Secondly, good knowledge of foreign languages can make your life easier while travelling. If you have knowledge of any foreign language you will not have to find an interpreter or Russian-speaking guide.

However, some people may object by saying that speaking of foreign languages is not really a special or a great thing.

They convince that studying of one or another foreign language is a waste of time because now there are a lot of facilities for understanding unknown words and speech without having special skills.

I do not agree with my opponents. To my mind, studying languages cannot be just a waste of time because while studying you train your brain. As a result, you become a more creative person and make your memory better.

In conclusion, I would like to say that a good command of foreign languages is a great thing. It not only gives you different opportunities in life but makes you more creative and better-educated person.
