Topic 1: Increasing travels between countries enable people to learn different cultures or to increase tension between people from different countries

incomprehensible.  Intrusion 
of  these  messages  will  create  confusion. 
Learners  will 
flounder 
when  the  progress  toward  success  is  little  and  the  situation  appears  to  be 
unmanageable. 
Language acquisition requires a high commitment of time and effort, so new learners 
are advised to concentrate on the language itself at the first stage. 
From  what  has  been  discussed,  one  can  make  it  clear  that  culture  is  an  element  that  determines  the 
difference between languages. Failing to recognise this would 
impede 
language learning. However, for 
new learners, acquiring a culture is less practical, for it requires great effort and produces little outcome.
