TOEFL® essay samples: It can be quite difficult to learn a new language

[Missiontoefl]

It can be quite difficult to learn a new language. What do you think are the most difficult aspects of learning a new language? Give reasons and examples to support your response?

It is very difficult to learn any new language. If a person wants to learn then he or she will have to pass from very difficult ways. I think there are many difficulties of learning a new language. A person who wants to learn a new language should not shy and be confident. A person who has these two qualities can learn otherwise not. Most of the time a new language learner, speaks in a wrong way and people may laugh at him. If a new language learner can find out good friends who have command on that then it can be easy to learn. Good friend will never laugh at a new language learner. Hence, learning of a new language becomes very easy.

A new language learner should have a good teacher. If teacher is available then it is going to be easy. Teacher always gives the right direction. For instance, if an English learner has a teacher, then teacher tells him or her grammar rules and other aspects to speak and write in a correct way. Teacher also gets the confidence. For a new language learner it is most important thing.

If a person, who wants to learn English but does not have the atmosphere of English speaking then a person cannot speak. A person who doesn’t have the atmosphere from their childhood cannot speak the new language. For example English is banned in many countries. Therefore, the citizens who live there cannot speak English. When they come to United States of America they all find atmosphere and speak good English.

The most important difficulty to learn a new language is to find out good books and classes. With the help of books and classes people can do practice of writing and spoken English. For example, if I want to find success in TOEFL than first of all I have to find out good English books and classes.

At the end I would like to say if a person who doesn’t have all these difficulties then can be a master in a new learning language.

Hi,

It is very difficult to learn any new language. If a person wants to learn then he or she will have to pass THROUGH very difficult ways. I think there are many difficulties IN learning a new language. A person who wants to learn a new language should not BE shy BUT be confident. A person who has these two qualities can learn otherwise not. Most of the time a new language learner, speaks in AN INCORRECT way and people may laugh at him. If a new language learner can find out good friends who have A command OF that LANGUAGE, then it can be easy to learn. Good friendS will never laugh at a new language learner. Hence, learning a new language becomes very easy.

A new language learner should have a good teacher. If A teacher is available then it is going to be easy. A Teacher always gives the right direction. For instance, if an English learner has a teacher, then THE teacher tells him or her grammar rules and other aspects to speak and write in a correct way. A Teacher also DEVELOPS the LEARNER'S confidence. For a new language learner it is THE most important thing.

If a person, who wants to learn English but does not LIVE IN AN English speaking ENVIRONMENT, then a person cannot speak. A person who doesn’t have thIS ENVIRONMENT from their childhood cannot speak the new language. For example English is banned in many countries. Therefore, the citizens who live there cannot speak English. When they come to THE United States of America they all find THE ENVIRONMENT and speak good English.

The WORST PROBLEM IN learnING a new language is to find good books and classes. With the help of books and classes people can practice WRITTEN and spoken English. For example, if I want to find success in TOEFL than first of all I have to find good English books and classes.

FINALLY I would like to say if a person who doesn’t have all these difficulties then THEY can be IN CONTROL OF learning A NEW language.
