SPEAKING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

 SPEAKING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
By Prastav Gurung
Tops Higher Secondary School, Pokhara, Nepal
The importance of speaking a foreign language has become more important today than it was in the past. Due to the rapid pace of industrialization and technological boom, the world has shrunk to become a global village. And tourism has become the main mantra for earning hard currencies. So that the national economy can run smoothly.

Most people from China, Japan, Korea, and Europe travel around the world. They spend a huge amount of money on travel. Communication has always been a big issue with the people of these countries. Most of them are unable to communicate in the English language. Thus, attracting more people from these countries can only be possible if we communicate with them in their languages. This need has given birth to the idea of learning a foreign language. 

The tourism sector has become one of the main sources of national income in the country. In a situation like this, the study of foreign languages has become even more important. Therefore, my suggestion is that foreign languages be made mandatory in the school curriculum. This will give a huge boost to the tourism sector in Nepal. 

Every year, hundreds of thousands of Nepalese people go abroad for employment. Remittances are the fuel that has been running the Nepali economy. The Nepali economy will immediately crumble down as if a house of cards only if remittances are stopped coming to the country. Thus, knowledge of a foreign language will certainly help to communicate with foreigners at home and abroad. This ability will give our people an edge in communicating and doing business with foreigners.

It helps them gain financial independence, develop valuable skills, and boost their confidence. Plus, it allows them to explore different career paths and learn time management. Part-time jobs can help girls develop a wide range of skills. Some specific skills they can gain include effective communication, teamwork, problem-solving, customer service, and adaptability.

And sometimes both spouses work to secure a better future ahead.  This fact cannot be denied: women in general are more successful at work than men. And it is also true that women are more effective in communication than men...

UNEMPLOYMENT, A SERIOUS PROBLEM

Image
  UNEMPLOYMENT, A SERIOUS PROBLEM Ayushma Poudel Dhaulagiri Boarding School, Hemja, Pokhara, Nepal Sagarmatha Secondary School, Pokhara, Nepal It is a well-known fact that unemployment has become a global issue. Poor countries and developing and developed countries have been grappling with the unemployment problem in recent years.  Unemployment does not affect some people in the country, but the entire system of the country will come under its influence. Finally, a growing unemployment rate will directly cause the national economy to collapse.  The main reason for unemployment in many poor countries is corruption and misuse of natural resources and human resources, among others. Corruption is like a termite that eats away the country from the inside and makes it hollow. Similarly, corruption sucks all the juice out of the country and leaves it dead. This is exactly what has happened in many corrupt countries in recent times.  The education curriculum is also no...

EDUCATION FOR ONE AND ALL By Atal Chhetri

EDUCATION FOR ONE AND ALL By Atal Chhetri Pokhara Engineering College, Nepal There has been a perpetual argument about whether the government of a country should provide education for every single citizen of the country. Educated people are the backbone of the all-round development of any country. However, it is the moral responsibility of the government to educate all its citizens. Skilled manpower always plays a supportive role in giving impetus to the national economy. Their contributions lead nations to prosperity. These people are highly creative; hence, they are extremely productive as well. On the other hand, education will help reduce the unemployment rate in the country. Decreasing unemployment means more people are engaged in productive activities. This will further help the country increase its overall Gross Domestic Production (GDP). Thus, the light of education must spread to every nook and cranny. Take the example of any developed nation, and it is evident that behi...

ASPIRING HIGHER EDUCATION AND PART TIME JOB

Image
  ASPIRING HIGHER EDUCATION AND PART-TIME JOB By Pratikshya Shai Yes, nowadays many students do a part-time job to meet their expenses. Many students try to find part-time jobs at restaurants, coffee shops, gas stations, supermarkets, and so on. Balancing work and study together is a challenging task for students. It will certainly lead to mental stress. However, students can still cope with the situation by applying time management skills. Without a doubt, students must pay attention to their studies. However, giving full time to study is a luxury for some students whose parents are financially well off. For the majority of students, this luxury is merely a will-o-the-wisp. They must have to work, and for this, time management is necessary. Study and work can go together, and a healthy relationship can be established successfully. There is nothing wrong if students work and learn some new skills together. Playing sports, interacting with others, obtaining new knowledge, and ...

THE CHALLENGE OF FEEDING HUNGRY MOUTHS

THE CHALLENGE OF FEEDING HUNGRY MOUTHS By Utsab Adhikari Gandaki University, Pokhara, Nepal The world has made tremendous progress in the field of agriculture. As a result, food production has gone up in many countries. Despite the fact that food production has gone up, more people are dying today due to acute hunger and poverty. The agricultural production has been vastly centralized, and this is the main reason for the food shortage in many parts of the world. More agricultural production has become possible in certain parts of Europe and Asia. While Africa and several other countries heavily rely on the import of agricultural items. In a situation like this, if the production of food grains drops due to bad weather, then suddenly the prices of agricultural items will rise. This will largely affect the purchasing power of people living below the poverty line. These poor people will be hit hard. Hence, if we want hunger to be eliminated from the face of the world, then it is utmost ne...

FOR THE CAUSE OF SAVING ENVIRONMENT

  FOR THE CAUSE OF SAVING ENVIRONMENT Bipana Gurung Spiral Galaxy Higher Secondary School, Pokhara   Without a doubt, technological advancement, urbanization, and industrialization have led countries to development. However, it is also true that these developments have disturbed the ecological balance of the environment.  The matter of environmental pollution can’t be taken for granted. The problem is serious, and a concerted effort must be made to tackle it. Moreover, environmental pollution does not only affect humans; it also affects the entire flora and fauna.  Mother Nature has made the entire ecosystem in such a way that every single creature, no matter how big or small, has a specific role to play in maintaining the ecosystem. Any disturbance to the environment will disturb the entire ecosystem of nature. Therefore, flora, fauna, and all living organisms on earth and undersea are equally important to maintaining the ecological system.  Today’s you...

HOLDING PEOPLE IN VILLAGES By Akriti Ghimire

  HOLDING PEOPLE IN VILLAGES By Akriti Ghimire POKHARA UNIVERSITY, NEPAL Nowadays, more people migrate from villages to cities. This is because cities have more facilities than villages. Cities have quality hospitals, schools, and several other facilities that are not available in villages.  Such facilities fall within the scope of basic human needs. Such things as health, education, sanitation, and employment are necessary for people to live a normal life. But villages are devoid of such facilities. This is the reason many people who live in villages are mostly frustrated. Quality education and the use of the Internet play an important role in the present time. But quality education and internet facilities are highly confined, and their use is also sporadic in the villages.  Due to a lack of necessary infrastructure in rural areas, the education sector is in dilapidated condition. There should be many more high schools and colleges in the villages. In addition, techn...

KNOWING MORE ABOUT THE HISTORIC PLACES

  KNOWING MORE ABOUT THE HISTORIC PLACES By Sabita Giri Shree Ram Jyoti Secondary Boarding School, Damauli, Nepal History is an important subject all over the world. It is the part of education at the lower level and the higher level of studies. Historians go into detail about the subject and collect as much information as possible; this way, they remove the dust of myth and bring reality before us.  At present, more and more young people have shown keen interest in studying history in colleges and universities. This is because history has occupied a more important place in the present day. Without expert historians, we will never know the history that is otherwise buried in many layers. Historians are the experts who know the craft of delving into the subject and separating myth from reality. That’s why historians are important people, and their importance cannot be undermined in any manner.  Empires grow, and then they collapse. What exactly happened a hundred, t...
