"Explain why it is important for you to learn English." It is very difficult to answer the question "Why it is important for you to learn English?". That is because the reason to learn English has been changing while I study English. At the first time I begun to study English, I thought I need to learn new skills to survive. At that time, I had been sick and took away from my school for a while to treat my depression. I was facing to depressive crisis in my life literally. So I decided to study new language to change my world. Actually first language I tried was Korean, because my ancesters are Korean. However unfortunately that trial was terrible idea. Korean language is too complex to pronounce for me. Then I changed my mind; I begun to study English that I had been studing in a highschool class. Now I keep on studying English enjoining regularly. I found learning other language changes area which I can visit. For example, I traveled San Diego and Hawaii by myself in spring break. I was not afraid of riding a bus, ordering meals in a restaurant and checking in a hotel. That is because I can speak English. Moreover this experience gave me confidence. I feel I am not a sad powerless girl. I can do anything that I want if I do it. The biggest importance to learn English may be a mental one for me. Being able to speak English break a cage surrounding around me. It give me freedom not only physically but also mentally. I could survive in a whole new culture, situation and hardship. Also I can be myself who is a hopeful and powerful woman.
