Increasing numbers of people travel overseas or study abroad. During their stay, they speak the local language, which is  most likely to be a foreign language. Major practical issues and social problems may happen as a result of people’s oversea residency [“居住”].

02

The practical problems are multiple especially if a speaker cannot speak the foreign language proficiently [“熟练地”] or accurately. For example, a person who is illiterate [“不会读写的”] in in the foreign language may be unable to understand any signs or written instructions. More seriously, lack of proper skills of the local language, one may never find a job. The worst case is that an inarticulate [“说不清楚话的”] patient may be unable to describe his or her conditions and, as a result, to receive proper medical treatment.

In addition, it is fairly likely that a person has no social life when living in a foreign country, where a different language is spoken. Behind this phenomenon is also the person’s inadequate language ability. [倒装] Sincelanguage is the primary medium of communicating information and emotions, without language proficiency [“熟练度”] one can hardly beintelligible [“能被人听懂（清楚）的”] or comprehensible and thus has difficulty socializing. Also, social problems happen even when a foreign nationalspeaks the local language well. The more accurately the person speaks the language, the more likely is the undesirable situation that the person is trapped in the cultural conflict [倒装], because a language carries the ideology of a society.
