Four reasons why I study English

My favourite saying is: "Don't learn every word you meet (hear/read), only learn the word that's helpful to you" :D. Ok, let me tell you why I study English.

First, English is one of the most important subjects at school. I began to study English when I was in the 6th (sixth) grade. When I started University, it was also a main subject. We had to work hard to get a high score in the exams.

Secondly, it's one of the most popular languages all over the world. It is used in most of the transactions, from buying a cup of coffee in the street to negotiating a big contract with the partners. You can go everywhere all around the world and speak only English, and everybody in the country you come to will respond to you in English or something (or 'in a way') that shows you know they understand what you say. It's amazing!

Thirdly, I love English because I want to understand the songs I love, the films I watch and a famous saying I meet in a book (if you're referring to one specific saying, you may say 'a famous saying/quote I read/saw in a book.' Otherwise, you should say: 'and famous quotes I read in books'). I want to speak English fluently to talk to the foreigners I meet in the street or at the bank. I work at a bank, so I have to trade with many foreigners who want to exchange money from their unit to another unit. (You can let that last word go.)

And last but not least, my hobby is traveling. I plan to travel outside my country abroad (I think it's a better term), so I need to try my best to study English in order to talk to everyone in the countries I visit.

P.S.: I really appreciate your attention to my entry and your time to correct it for me. Nice weekend everybody.

(Thank you, have a nice weekend as well!)
