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.
Hello Do-yeon,
