Why do I need knowledge of a foreign language

Famous German poet Goethe wrote: Who does not know a foreign language, he does not know anything about his family. And indeed it is. A foreign language is the most important means of communication, without which existence and development are impossible. human society. I always remember with great joy my first steps in learning German. It was so interesting, entertaining. The teacher revealed to us the concept of "foreign language", told us about its role and place in human life, taught us to speak, listen, read and write in the language being studied. Studying the language, we got acquainted with the world of our peers, with children's folklore, mores and traditions of Germany. Now I am fifteen years old, I am in the ninth grade, and I am not indifferent to the attitude to learning a foreign language. After all, knowledge of the language contributes to the formation of a holistic picture of the world among students, the formation of a personality, a culture of communication, and expands our horizons. I cannot but say that at present the knowledge of a foreign language increases the level liberal education schoolchildren. I want to note that the changes taking place today in public relations, in strengthening cultural, business, economic ties of our state with the countries of the world and Europe raise the status of the subject "Foreign language" as a general educational academic discipline. It is important to learn a foreign language! I think that this should be done in early age, with preschoolers, since I adhere to the point of view of K.I. Chukovsky "To kids preschool age a sophisticated sense of language." I am sure that by the time I finish high school the demand for highly qualified specialists who are fluent in both their specialty and two or three foreign languages will be increased. If in the previous decades of the twentieth century the circle of people in the country who had the need to communicate in a foreign language was narrow, then at present the situation has changed. Practice shows that in last years interest in our country in a foreign language (especially English) is growing rapidly. The reasons for this are obvious: both businessmen, who have broad prospects for economic cooperation with foreign-speaking partners, and people who are striving to fully use the opportunities that have opened up for us are interested in knowing English. international tourism, not relying on travel only on the services of guides-interpreters. Geopolitical, communicative and technological transformations in society have involved both direct and indirect communication (for example, via the Internet) quite a large number of people of different professions, ages and interests. Accordingly, the need for learning foreign languages will also increase.
