Some people think that machine translation is highly
developed in today’s society. Therefore it is not
necessary for children to learn a foreign language.
What’s your opinion?

With the rapid development of modern science, computers
have been playing a more important role in our daily
lives. It is such a worldwide trend that there is no
exception for Chinese.

Many people regard the computer as the magic machine.
It can solve many problems quickly and efficiently, and
best of all, it can translate all kinds of languages. By
using the computer you can just put ail the original
versions into it and then you will get the fast translation.
So some parents raise doubts about the necessity for their
hildren to learn foreign languages so hard any more.

At first thought, it seems that the computers can really help
us to do so. But if you look in- sue the matter deeply, you
may find a different answer. First of all, machines can never
replace mankind. Computers are created by man and are controlled
by human brains. We can never rely too much on machines;otherwise,
we will become the slave of them one day. On the contrary, we
need to enrich our knowledge as much as possible so that we can
catch up with the fast pace of the world. It is very necessary
to learn more languages so as to upgrade our abilities to follow
the progress of the world.

And furthermore, it will do good to children if they learn more
languages. Both their brain and their thinking modules can
benefit from it. When they grow up, they can easily accept
various kinds of cultures and communicate with foreigners,
which can favorably enhance the mutual understanding and develop
international brotherhood.

So, we can clearly see that, though computers can be good
translators, people still need to learn more languages with a
view to improving their abilities and facilitating their future
communication with people from other cultures.

An argument occasionally these days is that some people often think
machine translation can take place of the children's study of a foreign
language. As far as I am concern, I can't totally agree with this opinion.

It first comes to the point that machine translation is not  high efficiency.
The human language is so complex that nowadays no such machine can
translate one language to another sufficiently and totally. The machine
can only provide some  words or pieces of half-baked sentences. So we
human beings(especially children)may not rely on this kind of machine,
