Hello Lina08,

After reading your assay, I found two main ideas "you can get a better job" and "you can translate for people that speak your language". I want to bring up my option for the first main idea.

Knowing bilingual, you can get a better job (you can get a job easily). The United States has been built by immigrants, and it is also a great place where people from the world visit everyday. At first, immigrants and tourists can not speak English well, so people knowing bilingual are necessary for communications in some service places or companies. Nowadays, some companies hire employees with their advertisement " . . . Chinese, Spanish, Japanese . . . . speaking is preferred ", and on the competition of businesses, most of retail, merchandise and grocery stories, employees speak bilingual sometimes. They help, guide and introduce customers to their products. On airplane, after flight attendants introduce bout their airplane companies and airplane’s schedules by English to their customers, they also announce by another language that depends on their native countries. For example, in the Japanese airplane, a flight attendant announces by Japanese language after she finished English.

You may not like the details that I support the main idea, but this is the option, and I hope you have another look.

Good Luck,

Nam Thao
