Hi, 大家好。本节我们将会讨论语言学习的重要性。
为什么二语学习很重要?
人们学习一门新语言的原因各不相同。但是学习外语的重要性是公认的:它总能给人带来益处。
今天,因为不断增长的城市化、国际商务、旅游、商务旅行以及现代技术,大多数国家开始形成多文化社会。
因此,明显的是,全球化的多元文化社会也必然是多语言的社会。
因此,在全球化社会和多语言世界中,学习一门外语甚至多门外语变得越发必要。
学习二外可以使你具备与人交流的能力。
此外,
研究表明,学习二语的学生比不学的学生,在发散性思维、创造力和认知水平上发展更快。
学习二外除了能带来一些智力上的好处以外,还会带来直接的现实利益。
除了对于笔译和口译人员的需求以外,还有很多工作需要用外语与他人沟通的能力。
而且,用其他语言交流的能力会成为有利因素,在整体上有助于达成个人职业目标。
总之,二语学习可以使人有更好的理解力、交流力,使人有更多的机会,对多元文化有更强的包容力,并有机会接触各种优秀人才。
因此,学习第二外语,不仅仅挑战我们的思维,还能丰富我们的灵魂。
除了能够和不同的人用他们的母语交流以外,也能够教会你理解、包容和耐心。
在接下来的这一页中,你会发现许多学习二语的原因。
希望这些不同的表达可以帮助你解释学习二外的原因。
我希望有一种不同的思维方式,可以让我有更多的自由感受这个世界。
我希望通过一种有趣的方式获得别人得不到的信息。
因为英语是联合国、北约和欧洲自由贸易联盟等组织的主要语言,因此我希望可以学好英语,在一些严肃场合与人交流。
我想通过网络上的讨论小组,用英语和人交流思想。用英语给有趣的人发邮件。用英语了解他们的生活和文化。
我希望可以观看英美原版的电影。
大部分的电脑应用都是英语的,我希望可以更理解这些,因此可以成为更好的雇员。
许多名著都是用英文写的或译成英文,有许多耳熟能详的著作:从经典剧《哈姆雷特》到现代惊悚小说《侏罗纪公园》。因此,我希望可以轻松地阅读英文小说。
还有一些其他的例子。看看吧!
如你所见,如果我想学更多专业知识的话,就必须学好英语,否则我连这本书都看不懂。
我想学好英语,因为世界变得越来越小,我确信将来会有很多与外国人交流的机会。
英语是世界上使用最广的语言,它让我更有自信游历其他国家。
从本节中你得到什么信息呢?
为什么不和你的同学讨论看看?
也许从中可以总结出更加有用的线索。
