My Ideal Study Place

 My ideal place that I can mentally focus is a study room which is located directly below my apartment. There are three reasons that I think it is a best place to concentrate on my work. First of all, there are various people who are studying, reading books, or doing their own works. During the exam period, I go there everyday to study for my exams. Since I'm easily influenced by my surrounding environment, I can concentrate well in the study room seeing people studying hard, and accomplish my work better. In addition, the room is always clean and pleasant. When I enter the room, it is separated into two areas, women's and men's. There are about 40 well-organized seats in the room. Every tidy seats make greater atmosphere to study. Moreover, thanks to the air conditioner, I'm able to study in a cool and pleasant condition without stress. Finally, I can go out for a short time when I want to rest. Sometimes I feel very tired of doing lots of studying. When I feel like escaping from studying, I have a rest at the terrace outside of the study room. Resting in a fresh air improves my memorization ability, and helps me to stay awake. In conclusion, a study room below my apartment is the best place for me to study intensively because of many people who are studying, clean and well-organized space, and a comfortable terrace.

How does where I live (have lived) influence how I live?

 When I was ten years old, my father was sent as a resident worker of Tokyo, and then I went to Tokyo with my family. At that time, I didn't know anything about Japan, and had no interest in Japan. At first, I went to Korean school in Tokyo because my parents and I thought we would go back to Korea in a short time. However, we became to stay longer than that we thought, and I decided to go to Japanese high school to learn Japanese. When I entered the Japanese high school, I had much difficulties in communicating because I couldn't speak Japanese well. Nevertheless, I think living in Tokyo influenced my life positively for two main reasons. First of all, I have Japanese friends who I can keep in touch with whenever I want to. I think I'm lucky to have such friends in my life. Also, experiencing the Japanese local culture not only helped me to understand their culture more easily, but also made me to have interests in other foreign cultures. Second, I've got Japanese language skill. As you know, it has become very important to learn foreign languages in this global era. Therefore, considering my major is Hotel Management, I believe a fluent Japanese skill would be a great help someday. To conclude, Tokyo, the city where I've lived influenced my life so much, and I'm greatly satisfied with my current life.
