Update: This was one of my research and presentation in one of my 1st English classes at the time. I have to edit it since I found few terrible misspellings – But the essence is still there.

The Necessity of Bilingual Education
Due to the fact that the Internet is the tool most used to better our job skills, we are actually looking for ways to learn new languages. Nowadays, it’s almost impossible not to get involve with one new language as soon as we enter this virtual era. Becoming a bilingual person is an option to consider when looking to improve, not only your working life, career, but also wanting to change to a new one. There is an enormous increase of people demanding to learn a new language as soon as possible. Getting a better job, keeping the one we already have but feeling confidence to ask for a raise, or simply being able to connect with a bigger audience, or look more approachable, are reasons we keep in mind when learning a new language. It opens doors to many things – one of them: the attractiveness of new endless opportunities.
We are living right now in multicultural societies where the distances are not longer obstacles. People are, more than ever, living their lives open to those new changes. They are more interested in connecting, networking, dating, and even traveling with people of different backgrounds. Technology is playing a magnificent role in our daily activities. We work, share and enjoy with people in new cultures that can give us a new sense of style, thinking, and even loving. No matter what we have to deal with, we look for ways to get understood, to communicate, and to compete in any profession and industry as well. Competing in education is an exciting challenge that keep us energize and active during our professional lives. We compete with ourselves everyday to explore all the amazing things that are hidden in unknown cultures. I believe, computers are for us what gasoline is for cars; they keep us moving in this world. Sharing knowledge with all people out there requires, at least, a basic understanding and ability to speak the same language leading us to bilingual communities.
Ranging from English, Spanish, French, Japanese, and Italian to Vietnamese, Chinese or even Latin, we can find a variety of options to choose from regarding our interest. Any language has its own structure, rules, ways of thinking, and, in special cases, teaching techniques. All this has shown that we need preparation to succeed. But one interesting thing to remember is knowing we get benefit from it: we learn to exercise our brains in new ways. And looking at it as if this was a game to play, we’ll then enjoy this process of learning and get results a little easier.
The necessity of a new language varies from people to people, but the expectations are, for all, gratifying and precious. Survey results at a glance shows us how the world has been transformed into one that can fit all cultures and bring them to work, live, and joy, harmoniously together. Education in new languages is the way many organizations found effective to satisfy and seek for community solutions. Even at home, becoming literate in a second (or more) language helps parents raise more mentally open kids. Kids generally like trying new things when they feel are supported by their parents.Helping kids become bilingual include being involved in the process and show them ways to move smoothly.
Enjoy your way around listening to people speak in another languages.
There are too many ways to discover treasures in this world; one is by allowing our minds to experience cultures, and that is something more achievable thanks to languages. The more we are capable of understanding, the more the benefits.
