Viewing: Why Should Students Learn Foreign Languages? John and I have been friends for a very long time . We applied for colleges for higher education together. John successfully converted his application into admissions to the best of colleges with scholarships while I faced rejection . Reflecting on the experience, I deeply regret wasting so much time. During our free time, John involved himself in learning new things, including a new language of his choice. On the other hand, I simply lazed around. Learning a new language helped John enhance his global mindset and raise his ability to appreciate other cultures, thus making him open to learning. Besides, it helped him sharpen his cognitive and life skills, which improved his chances of gaining entry into graduate schools since most universities favour candidates who understand a foreign language and its culture as well. Try to learn everything about everything and everything about something. ——Tomas Huxley 尽可能广泛地涉猎各门学问， 并且尽可能深入 地择一钻研。 ——赫胥黎 Assignments 1.
