For
Knowledge of additional language gives an edge - makes a person more competitive in
today's fast paced world - better employment opportunities with fluency in a foreign
language - multi-national companies send professionals for on-site projects to other
countries - delegates from other countries coming to interact with people of our country -
can work as translators, interpreters or tourist guides, etc. - preservation of culture and
tradition through native language.
Against
Students are already burdened with two languages - no need for a third language - no
natural inclination for foreign language - foreign language not of much use in daily life
and gradually gets forgotten - should not be forced on people who do not need it - can
be taught only to those who demand for it - time and effort should not be wasted on
something of no clear use.
(Pointers have been provided for students' reference. It is strongly recommended that
students prepare the answer on their own.)
