Advantages of being Bilingual

Advantages of being Bilingual
I think we can get great advantages by being bilingual because we can obtain more opportunities than people who are not bilingual. For example, we can communicate smoothly with people who are from another country. Since I came to the U.S., I sometimes feel if I could speak English more smoothly, or I could speak another language, I could communicate with other people more easily. It is hard for me to communicate with someone in English. Actually, I have some friends who are bilingual. They communicate with others like they are native speakers. I think it is a really great thing! Also, we can make our way of thinking wider because if we could communicate with someone who is from another country like both of us are from the same country, we could speak a lot of things and exchange our thinking. That would make our way of thinking wider. In addition, when we plan to go somewhere, almost all people worry about speaking another language. If people are bilingual, they can go anywhere more freely than people who are not bilingual, and they can see and feel a lot of things. That also helps us to have a wide range of thinking. Other advantages of being bilingual are we can study another culture more easily. We can read books which were written in another language. The book which was translated to another language is sometime the book that has wrong translation or doesn't have exactly same word as original one. Also, we can see movies without captions. I think to seeong movies is a good way to know other cultures. When we can see movies without any captions, that is amazing! Moreover, we probably have more opportunities to get interesting or high-paying jobs than people who are not bilingual because the company considers people who are bilingual as useful people when they need to negotiate with another country’s people. Bilingual people will make negotiations more smooth. Another reason to be bilingual needs a lot of effort, so companies evaluate our effort. For the above reasons, we can get great advantages by being bilingual.
