[IELTS] Are traveling or working the only reason to learn foreign language? Learning foreign language has been essential due to globalization. Some people may think traveling and working are still the main reason for learning other language, but I think language learning could be considered as a way to boarder social networking. Foreign language learning has become one of major educational program in almost every country in the world. Language is a key access to reach more opportunities like pursuing a job in other country, higher education and so on. Or people may begin to learn foreign language just for traveling. It’s same reason for my mother to learn English, she has participated an online course about chatting with foreign people in 20 minutes per day to keep practicing oral skill. On the other hand, I think the reason for learning language is not only for business or travel but also just for casual reason like social networking or playing game. In my experience, I’ve started to play online game with players from other countries for several years because of the development of Internet. Co-working and communication skill were required in some occasion that made me speak with my teammates from United States, Canada in English. That was a way to learn foreign language in more casual way also remain entertained. To sum up, it has been necessary for people to learn foreign language to engage with the world, to expand your horizons. People may view language skill as a tool to seek opportunities in work or travel mostly, but there are still some different usages probably just for a casual reason.

[IELTS] Is punishment necessary for children to learn the difference between right and wrong People have different views about what is the most appropriate and beneficial way when parents or teacher educate children. While some argue that it would be better for parents to punish children with physical abuse, I believe that kids should be taught what is right and wrong with encouragement. In my opinion, people should learn things from other people’s encourage that could make you build your own confidence and gain more motivation. In my experience, I found it usually works when I taught my little brother if I encouraged him to do right things instead of punishing him to prevent from doing wrong. For example, I would allow him to play video games if he finished his homework before dinner, and he had actually done it more often. Such kind of encouragement worked in contrast to how my mother punished him before. Also, psychologist have developed some experiments about whether creature could learn things right and wrong efficiently with encouragement or punishment. They separated one group of mice into two, then put a white mouse into a maze. In one group, scientist would give the mouse a slice of cheese as prize if the mouse reached the exit, the rest of mice would be treated with electric shock if it went in wrong way. The results showed that the mouse treated with prize could reach the exit more often than those which was given punishment instead of encouragement. In conclusion, I fully support the view that people should teach children with encouragement more than punishment.
