Living in a country where you have to speak a foreign language can cause serious social problems, as well as practical problems.
To what extent you agree or disagree with the statement?


communication in foreign language abroad



Language barrier is one of the major hurdles, which is usually encountered by overseas people, and it may result in plenty of significant societal and real life issues. In my view, communication in non-native language brings noticeable problems for foreigners but there must be possible solutions of these issues.

Admittedly, speaking a new language is hard task and not every individual, residing abroad, can master the language of respective country in which he is living. This inability would result in misconception and misunderstanding. For example, a person is unable to covey his thoughts and ideas in accurate words, which might be misunderstood by the natives and it may offend them. In addition, people may have least chances of getting the job, as they cannot effectively communicate. For instance, if a foreigner has to deal clients in his job, he cannot perform his task without effective language skills. Hence, I believe language barriers will pose significant hurdles for people living in foreign countries.

Nevertheless, above-mentioned problems can be profoundly controlled. People while planning to move in any country should learn about the culture and language of that country. For instance, joining a language course would be definitely helpful. Almost all countries offer these courses for non-natives. Moreover, while going abroad, decide your career path and do your homework regarding job requirement there before applying. To illustrate, you chose marketing job, you should have excellent communication in that country's language to fulfill your duties. It will enhance you selection chances. Consequently, I think reasonable ways can be adopted by overseas individuals to reduce all these obstacles.

In conclusion, communication in foreign language leads to communal conflicts due to misapprehension and practical life hurdles are unavoidable. I totally agree with the statement but these problems can be noticeably reduced by following preventive ways.

Eram, your response to the given prompt statement is incorrect. Since this is an extent essay, you need to pick a side to support in the discussion. This is not a simple opinion essay, which is what you accidentally wrote. Let me outline this for you with a sample of the proper response to the prompt.

Question: To what extent you agree or disagree with the statement?
Response: In my view, communication in non-native language brings noticeable problems for foreigners but there must be possible solutions of these issues.
Correct Response: I firmly / totally / completely/ strongly agree with the given discussion based on several well known reasons.


You are offering a discussion of possible solutions rather than discussing the reasons why you strongly agree with the yes or no question being provided. The response I created shows you some of the synonyms that can be used to express a strong emotion in relation to the question. The strong emotional response is a requirement for this essay.

Now, the result of your action is what is known as a prompt deviation. That means you created a different topic for discussion which is counter to what you were being asked to discuss. In this case you chose to discuss solutions to the problem rather than the reasons why you agree with the statement. As such, your essay will be considered unresponsive to the given instructions and as such, receive a failing score.

Make sure you understand the question and how to respond to it before you begin to write your practice essays. It will be best if you familiarize yourself with the various IELTS questions and model responses just so you will have an idea of how to respond to certain task requirement. You need to increase your English comprehension skills so that you can properly respond to the questions provided. Practice simple question and answer responses whenever you can then check the answer guide for the comprehension test. That way you can improve that part of English know-how. It is imperative that you understand the question so that you can write the correct response for it.

Actually, I have read in Pauline book it is best to give your point of view, whether you agree or disagree, in the conclusion part of the essay rather than the introduction. So a generalized statement should be given which will indicate what you're going to talk about in your essay.

I am having difficulty in creating that generalized statement. I will read the model answers and will work on it.

What about the rest of the essay? is it okay? Development of ideas? Coherence & Cohesion? Grammar?
