Write a paragraph of about 100 words arguing for or against having to study three languages at school.

Explanation

For
Knowledge of additional language gives an edge - makes a person more competitive in today's fast paced world - better employment opportunities with fluency in a foreign language - multi-national companies send professionals for on-site projects to other countries - delegates from other countries coming to interact with people of our country - can work as translators, interpreters or tourist guides, etc. - preservation of culture and tradition through native language.
Against
Students are already burdened with two languages - no need for a third language - no natural inclination for foreign language - foreign language not of much use in daily life and gradually gets forgotten - should not be forced on people who do not need it - can be taught only to those who demand for it - time and effort should not be wasted on something of no clear use. (Pointers have been provided for students' reference. It is strongly recommended that students prepare the answer on their own.)
