In contemporary society, the existence of terms like “natural ability” in the majority of cases provides border arrangements for children’s range of professions. In the case of foreign languages, a lack of innate language learning ability might cause a daunting task to gain knowledge. However, I wholeheartedly disagree that schools must stop forcing young people to obtain knowledge, because it may lock their potential ability and future career satisfaction.
To commence with, the beginning of exploring new material could cause difficulties in the majority of instances, and languages are no exception. However, by trial and error method and hands-on experience with proper motivation, it is physically possible to acquire every single skill. According to relevant data, likely around 20-30% of workforce successfully align their daily work with their natural talents or passions. Summarising, the lack of natural ability itself doesn’t mean a lack of potential in the current realm. Moreover, job satisfaction is one of the most necessary criteria apart from salary and quality of conditions, and it is job duties which do not always coincide with innate ability. “Find a job you enjoy the tasks, and you would not be forced to work a single day.”
Following that, people at a young age do not fully realise the meaning of knowledge and cannot deny that it will be useful for them in their future career path. For instance, in a plethora of multinational companies, at least one additional language is a required criterion, and it might be a formidable challenge to find a current occupation without such a formula or learn the language as an adult. It is still physically possible, but involves much more effort and self-motivation. This economic incentive stresses the practical benefits of language education in a competitive job market.
To conclude, the obstacles schoolers face on their educational track must not be perceived as a lack of potential. With proper education and encouragement, mastering linguistic skills will be possible for all students with potential and motivation, making them prepared for a violent labour market and future career satisfaction.
