I. Introduction:
Hello everyone. I’m Quoc from KV10. Before beginning my topic today, I would like to ask you an easy question. Do you know how good learning a foreign language is for us? Thanks for your answer.
Learning a foreign language can be a challenging task for many people. However, there are many benefits that we can gain by learning a new language. Today, I will share them with you.
Review main points: There are three main benefits in my presentation:
- Enjoy traveling.
- Make friends.
- Career opportunities.
Transition: Let me begin with the first one.
II. Body:
1. Enjoy traveling:
It’s a problem when you visit a place you do not know the language. It’s hard to seek help when people do not understand you. If you can communicate in their native language, you will be able to understand their culture and join in their daily life.
Transition: It’s the first benefit of learning a foreign language. To continue my topic, I will share the second one with you.
2. Make friends:
Communication is a must for any friendship. If you know a foreign language then you connect very easily with the people speaking that language. You can see knowing a foreign language can help you get some worthy friends.
