Your Answer ▼ Nowadays, some people think that children do not have to learn foreign languages anymore because computer language translation has become avaliable because of the trmendous development of the computer technologies. I support this opinion and in this essay, i will discuss the reasons behind my opinion.
Admittedly, computer translation may not enough to translate what one is meaning to say or the sentence correctly. It is because, computer translation do not know the situation that the word is being used and sometimes it cannot understand the context of the sentence.
However, these days, since computer translation is well developed, most of the words and the sentences can be translated. In addition, by adding artificial intelligence, it has become understand the context of the sentence, So the translation has become natural and accurate. On the one hand, one of the reasons we need to learn foreign language is to communicate when we traveling abroad. However, realistically, it is hard to learn the language of the country every time we travel and computer translation has made it possible to translate languages of most countries. So we no longer need to learn a foreign language when we traveling abroad. Therefore, we don't need to learn foreign languages unless we ate living foreign country or majoring in the language of the country.
In conclusion, Although the computer may not be able to translate as accurately as a person, since computer translation is well-developed, I think we do not need to learn foreign languages unless we want to learn. |
