When I went downtown to swim with my friends this morning, I realized something is going on downtown. It was winter carnival,which was almost over when I got there. I've seen it last February when I just arrived Canada last year. Yea.. it's been a year to be in Canada which means I've been here for not that short or long time. So..what have I done so far? what the heck am I doing here?
Some people in the world including most of Canadian just "speak" English as their native language. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them. I was born in South Korea and I grew up there during the whole my life time. Many people in Asia learn English and most of them spend lots of time and money to learn English. I am just one of them. I think this is quiet unfair. I'm pretty sure none of you guys don't even think about this. YOU GUYS ARE LUCKY!! You just speak your language,which is the universal language of the world, and people whose first language is not English try to read it, to write it, and to listen and speak it!
Actually, most of those people can read and write it. Well..This is just because they start to learn it early and they try hard. However, one of the problems of learning English in their mother country is speaking part of English. They fear to speak. I know It's hard to understand for whom never felt this. This is because, they don't learn how to apply whatever they know to real world. And this is one of my reasons why I came here.
I know that I should try hard and I'm pretty sure that I've learned not only English but also great and small indispensable things in life. This life is interesting but not that always fun. I'm going to talk about it later.
Good job. Clear writing; it sounds like you're catching on to this whole English thing pretty well.
