Students who are not talented in foreign language learning should not be required to study a foreign language. Do you agree or disagree?
不应该要求那些没有学习外语天赋的学生学习外语。对此你是否同意？
【 说明 】
talented是指有天赋的，地道英文中还有近义词gifted，因为在西方人眼中天赋并不是父母给的，而是神赐的礼物。
没有语言天赋的孩子也必须学外语可能会导致他们缺乏学习动力（make them feel unmotivated or frustrated），而且还没自信（lack confidence），甚至有可能对学习完全丧失兴趣（lose interest in learning altogether）。如果打算对另一方也进行讨论，则可以写：即使没天赋也总还是可以学到一些关于外语的基础知识（gain basic knowledge about a foreign language），而且外语知识已经成为工作当中的必备技能之一（Knowledge about a foreign language has become an essential skill in the workplace.）等等。

Learning a foreign language is not an easy task. However，I disagree with the idea that students who do not have a talent for foreign language learning should not be required to study foreign languages.
Learning a foreign language makes students more intelligent . When they study a foreign language，they need to memorise new words and phrases ，and analyse a wide range of sentence structures. This helps to improve their memory and develop their analytical skills .
Also， as international business and trade is increasingly important to the economy of most countries， bilingual people are in high demand in many professions. All students， regardless of whether they have talent for foreign language learning，should take foreign language courses，which can prepare them for employment in the global economy.
It is true that some students may find studying a foreign language difficult and frustrating . The difficulties and frustration that they experience may even affect their study of other academic subjects. However ，I would argue that many of them find foreign language learning difficult because their teachers fail to stimulate their interest in the foreign language. A child's talent for foreign language learning may also be hard to accurately assess at such an early age. If all students who are considered untalented at learning a foreign language were allowed to drop the foreign language class freely，much latent talent for foreign language learning would be wasted.
In conclusion，I believe that all students should be required to take foreign language courses. At the same time，students who find it difficult to learn foreign languages should be given more help so that they can also achieve their potential in foreign language learning.

■译文
学习外语不是一项轻松的任务。但我并不同意没有学外语天赋的学生就不应该被要求学习外语的想法。
学外语会让学生们变得更聪明。他们在学习外语的时候，需要记忆新单词和短语，并且分析多种多样的句子结构。这可以提高他们的记忆力并且锻炼他们的分析能力。
而且 ，由于在多数国家，国际商务和贸易正变得日益重要，多种行业对双语人才的需求都非常大。无论学生对学习外语有没有天赋都应该学习外语课程，这可以帮助他们为在全球化的经济当中就业做好准备。
确实有些学生会觉得学习一门外语是困难而且令人沮丧的。这些困难与挫折感甚至会给其他科目的学习带来影响。 然而 ，我认为这些学生之所以认为外语难学是因为他们的老师没有激发他们对外语的兴趣。 而且 ，对于外语的学习天赋在早期是很难被准确评估的。如果被认为没有外语学习天赋的学生被允许任意放弃外语课程，那么很多尚未开发的外语学习天赋就会被浪费掉。
总之，我认为所有学生都应该被要求学习外语课程。同时，那些对学外语感到困难的学生们应该得到更多的帮助，以便让他们也能充分发挥出自己在学外语方面的潜力。
