IELTS Writing - People Never Understand the Culture of A Country unless They Speak the Language

Some people think that a person can never understand the culture of a country unless they speak the language.
Do you agree with this opinion?

cross-cultural understanding

A number of societies opine that people are not able to acquire and adapt a specific culture without learning its language. I personally would argue that this is a positive development.

To begin, the best measure to study other national culture is imitating the way of the native speaks. Individuals tend to practice more by repeating what the other speakers produce from their mouth. A good example of this is the process how kids acquiring language. Children are never be taught a language such as their mother tongue or first language, but they are able to speak their mother tongue/L1 well during they grow up. It is because they always listen and the language to surroundings. As the result, youngsters get used to speak that language. There is no doubt that it is referred that learning about culture is speaking about its language.

Another reason is by understanding the language; inhabitants can learn one's culture independently. Although there is no a guide to accompany us visiting one county side aimed at knowing its tradition, we are able to communicate and experience this culture by ourselves because we have master the language. A case in point, nowadays most of tourists from abroad in Indonesia do not need a translator to research a local relic because they have learnt Indonesian language before coming at there. Thus, language is one important factor in order to recognize a specific culture.

To conclude, it is clear to me that cross-cultural understandings become easy to learn if the followers start initially to speak the local language.

I believe that your score for this essay would be a 4 in an actual test. You have many sentence structure problems that affect the thought process and understanding of the reader as he scans your essay. There is a lack of clarity in the way that you present your reasons which causes faulty reasoning and incomprehensible reasoning. You show a very limited ability to form even the simplest English sentences so your vocabulary and grammar are directly affected.

I would advise you to try and work on the grammar portion of this essay a bit more. While the presentation is faulty, it is obvious that you understood the prompt but was hindered by the lack of grammar ability. Don't worry, you should get better with practice. It will not hurt for you to try to write this essay again. This time, pay attention to your grammar. As long as you can somehow relay an understandable thought process, your score should improve to at least a passing score.

hi Ucha
here is my notes

Actually you have so many wrong for writing, but this is still learning, that would be fine, however practice makes perfect, so do I.

May I give you suggestion for introduction, I would share my idea for you:

Language is not only about communication but also for feeling each other. As long as we can speak foreign language that is like we could not understand what they feel eventually. I would agree with this perspective because that makes sense for human being.

then you can explain more detail with the functions of communication in other languages or the benefits of those, put on paragraph two and three.

however you need to revise your writing to get better, you need to understand firstly what is the idea will you catch it. look at the examples of writing IELTS, those would help you more to get lots idea.

hope it helps :)
