You can say many reasons why you like to learn English.For example,it is a widely used language all over the world .All significant events use English as the official language.It is a fact that we can not deny and must accept.However,those reasons can not become the reasons why I like to learn English.
The reason why I like to learn English is that I would like to know western culture.Perhaps you think that we can know western culture by reading books written in Chinese.But you can not know western culture exactly by reading books written in Chinese as you can not know eastern culture exactly by reading books written in English.
As a human being,we should not only know native culture to improve ourselves,which has been explained by many excellent masters.As a people,the nation must make cultural exchange to develope better,which has been proved by history.Therefore,English becomes a must if you want to learn true western culture.
My reason is so simple,but I think it is the only reason I can offer to you.
Thank you for reading.

Yes, I agree with you in that by learning a language,you also learn the culture.Why is this so significant?
