Speaking test, Part 3 (Discussion) questions
1. Which language in your opinion is the most important in the world nowadays, and why?
I would say that right now the most important language in the world is English. There are a few reasons for this: firstly, it is the language of business and commerce. Most international negotiations and deals are conducted in English, so if you want to be part of the global economy, you need to be able to speak it. Secondly, because it is the most spoken language in the world. More people speak English than any other language, so if you want to communicate with as many people as possible, you need to learn English.
2. Why is it so important to know another language?
I believe that it is essential to learn another language for several reasons. It helps us understand different cultures, think in new ways, and communicate with people from all corners of the globe. Also, the process of learning a new language provides mental stimulation and helps to keep our brains sharp.
3. Is travel the only reason why learning another language is beneficial?
There are plenty of other reasons to learn a new language, even if you're not planning on travelling. Like I said before, it can make you smarter. Studies have shown that people who know more than one language have better memory and can think more quickly and creatively. But the benefits of learning a foreign language go beyond that. When you can communicate in another language, you also become more valuable professionally, since speaking multiple languages is an asset in any field.
4. What is the hardest part of learning a new language?
For me, the hardest part of learning a new language was getting over the fear of sounding stupid. It's so easy to get tripped up on even the simplest words and phrases, and I used to feel like everyone was watching and judging me. However, eventually, I realised that most people are too busy worrying about themselves to pay much attention to my mistakes and that helped me to become more confident.
5. Do you think learning another language is more important for young people or old people?
I think it's more important for young people to learn another language than for old people. Young people have their whole lives ahead of them and they'll have plenty of opportunities to use the language they learn. For older people, learning another language can be a little more challenging because they may not have as much time. But it’s still beneficial for mental stimulation for people of every age group.
6. Who finds learning a new language easier, children or adults?
I think that children find it much easier to learn a new language than adults. Children have more of a blank slate when it comes to language learning – their brains are primed for learning, and they're not as set in their ways as adults are. Plus, when they're surrounded by native speakers all day at school, they have more opportunities to practice. As we get older, our brain function starts to decline, making it harder to learn new things.
