Advantages of being bilingual

I think if I can speak two languages, I will succeed in my future.
At first, if i speak English and Japanese fluently, it will increase a competition of my career.
For example, I can communicate with customers who come from different countries by telephones and e-mails through English or Japanese.Second, I think if I understand two languages, I will know how to use electric appliances correctly even if they don't have Chinese instruction manuals. For example, CD players which are imported from Japan or air cleaners which are made by U.S.A. Third, if I speak two languages, it is easier to talk to foreigners when I travel abroad.  For instance, if I get lost, I can talk to the locals and ask directions. At last, I don't need subtitles when I watch foreign programs.
In conclusion, increasing a working competition, understanding foreign language handbooks and communicating with foreigners are advantages of speaking two languages. It also will help me achieve success in the future.
