Foreign Languages in the life of a modern man 

The great German poet Goethe once said, «He, who knows no foreign language, does not know his own one «. Every educated person 1must learn any  foreign language nowadays. Some people learn languages because they 2 need them in their work, others travel abroad, for the third studying languages is a hobby.

Every year thousands of people from Russia go to different countries as tourists or to work. They 3can’t  go without knowing the language of the country they are going to. A modern specialist 4can’t  work with an imported instrument or a machine if he is not able to read the instruction how to do that.

A scientist, a historian, a diplomat are, as a rule, polyglots, because they 5 need  foreign languages in their work. Stewardesses, pilots, air traffic control officers 6 must   learn English because it is the language of international communication. And how 7can a shop girl or a cashier in a big department store understand a foreigner, if she doesn`t know a foreign language?

Some years ago a terrible earthquake occurred in Armenia. Several rescue brigades from different countries came to help the victims of this catastrophe. One of the most serious problems they came across was that practically nobody there 8 could   understand them. Very few people there knew English, German or some other language.

So a modern and a cultured person 9 must learn foreign languages.
