Speaking more than one language is a great advantage

Since we faced the globalization era, it is a common for us to see people talking more than one language. Job opportunities become wider and also influence people to mobile from one place to another. The possibility to study, learn or work abroad is increasing from time to time. Someday, you will meet those people. Foreigner for example tends to use English as their daily language. To prevent misunderstanding and communication breakdown we need to learn other language that commonly used by most of people around the world (English for instance is language that became international language). As the three explanations below, we will have better understanding why, “speaking more than one language is a great advantages”.
The first reason why speaking more than one language is a great advantage is it really will help us in communicate with other people. As we know the globalization era make the opportunity of people to travel become wider and easier. It is possible for us to meet people from all over the world. They came for different reasons; vacation, working, studying or even seeking a better life. People scattered to every part of the world very far away even from their origin country, they are moving from one place to another as fast as you tough or even beyond your imagination.
The second reason why speaking more than one language is a great plus for us is it will make us easier in finding a job. As we know, English is the languages that used by most of the nations or even has become the language of the world since the globalization era begin. Furthermore many companies are affected by this situation; they made English as the perquisite of their employees.
Employees must good in speaking and writing English so that the company itself will not have any difficulties making cooperation with foreign or expanding the company overseas.
The third reason why speaking more than one language is a great benefit for us is it will always assist us in our life. As we know some jobs like economic entrepreneur, social entrepreneur, politician, archeology, etc need to go to certain places that have different languages, cultural aspects, and societies. That why those jobs require us to master more than one language. As a social entrepreneur for instance, their primary job is to solve social problems that occur in different societies and nations, when they are sent to do survey and observe in certain country they will face the communication barrier if the local villager could not speak their language or neither also the team. Based on that situation they probably can make some misjudgments or worse. So, to prevent that problem they need to master more than one language to make sure that they will do the right thing.
It is possible that there are still more advantages in speaking more than one language. But, as the three paragraphs have told us I can conclude that those reasons (to communicate with others people, to seek a job, to assist our life) are the most valuable aspects in speaking more than one language.
