Many people believe that the language barrier in a foreign environment would generate a series of social and practical problems. 个人观点：I agree with this statement and will give a further discussion as follows. ### 主体段 1 可能会导致一些社会问题，例如如果一个人无法达到某种外语的熟练程度，他就无法成功地表达自己的想法或情感，另一个社会问题是对文化的误解。 主题句：Among the social problems, communication failure could be a direct result from the linguistic barrier. 平行列举+递进解释：If one can’t reach a certain proficiency of a foreign language, he can’t deliver his ideas or emotions successfully, nor can he understand the native speakers of the language. Another social problem is the misunderstanding of cultures, which is actually the aftermath of constant communication failure. A person with limited language competence may either feel reluctant to fully understand or explore the cultural elements embedded in the language. Therefore, his behaviour or speech might cause offence or conflicts during the interaction with the native speakers in that country. ### 主体段 2 可能会导致一些实际问题，实际问题通常会对个人在异国的生活和发展产生负面影响，另一个问题可能是与当地社区的隔离。 主题句：The practical problems, in my opinion, usually negatively affect an individual’s life and development in a foreign land. 平行列举+递进解释：First, the lack of language proficiency and cultural understanding might prevent a person from finding a satisfying job. Many high-skilled professions today require a certain level of linguistic ability for they demand oral communication with others. Another problem could be one’s isolation from the local community. A person’s language incompetence would impair his motivation and opportunities to socialise, gradually excluding him from the wider cultural setting. ### 让步段 生活在必须说外语的国家可能会有一定好处，如浸在语言环境中以更有效地学习语言，人们可能更倾向于反思自己的文化和身份。 Nevertheless, living in a foreign country where it’s necessary to speak the local language presents its advantages too, such as being immersed in the linguistic environment to learn the language more efficiently. Besides, people could be more driven to reflect on their own cultures and identities when living in another nation. But the impacts of language barrier and cultural shock on individuals are not to be overlooked. ### 结尾段 总结理由+观点重申：当人们生活在外国并且必须说当地语言时，社会和实际问题是不可避免的。 但是，人们应该始终尊重当地文化，学习语言并积极参与社会互动，以获得更有价值的生活体验。 To conclude, the social and practical problems are inevitable when people live a foreign nation and have to speak the local tongue. However, one should always respect the local culture, learn the language and be actively involved in the social interactions to have a more rewarding life experience. ## 重点表达 in an era of 在...时代 the interaction with 与...的联系 it’s necessary to 做...是必要的
