Communication is a part of language used as a tool for expressing our thoughts, feeling, also explaining something. Currently, the ability of having good communication is required because of the globalization that spread out to all over the world. Globalization has opened our eyes and mind to gain something beyond our state because there are many useful things that we might never experience before. To reach those things we must be able to communicate with the language where we can figure out something that we want. Here I would like to make the English as the second language to be mastered instead of Indonesia. We know sometimes mastering a new language can be difficult for us because of many distractions that come such as the laziness, the limited facilities, insecurity and etc. However, I think we must change our mindset to think about the benefits of being bilingual so that we can kick those distractions.
Actually, the problem of the laziness has haunted in our lovely country Indonesia. The majority is likely being ignorant towards their surroundings such as receiving good tiding about remarkable breakthrough in education researches. However, we as the next generation must try to remove the level of our laziness especially for mastering a new language. One of the benefits for being bilingual is increasing our social life. For instance, when we are going to travel abroad, it's necessary to able to speak the International Language which is English that is understandable for many people.
The other problem is limited facilities that have a serious thing in Indonesia because of inequality of economic development. It gives impact that not everyone has an opportunity to learn a new language earlier. Learning English in the young age is easier rather than in older age. Mostly citizens in Indonesia tend to have good connection for going to the place where they want to master a language, of course it is in an English-speaking country. It's easier improving the English skills through surrounded by native speaker. However, for those who are living in the rural areas, most of them don't have enough connection like the citizens. However, don't worry because if we don't have a chance going to an English-speaking country, we can find a partner to speak English by doing travel to Bali or Yogyakarta or any other places in Indonesia where we can meet a foreigner so that we can try to improve our English skills with them. The other way is try to find foreigner by learning English through the Internet. There are many applications offered online teacher from the native speakers.
The last distraction is having insecurity. This term is more outstanding in a few years. Even some people attempt self-diagnosis of having insecurity. There are many factors caused this insecurity particularly in Speaking in English. For example, when we are speaking in English, some friends despise the way we speak all the more being bullied or judged. It can raise our fear in speaking English but If we face something like this, do not ever give up, and keep practicing because practice makes perfect. When you are wrong to pronounce some English words, try to correct it by yourself through figuring out the correct answer. You can check the English pronunciation through dictionary or asking your teachers/tutor. Don't make the taunt of people shatter your mind so that you tend to surrender.
In conclusion, as which I said, there are many causes that give difficulties in mastering a new language but we must take the positivity that emerges when we have been being a bilingual person. Don't fulfil our mind with the helplessness or laziness and anxiety. Remember there is will there is away. Everything is possible while we make efforts.
