Why I like to study English

In this modern society, all of us should study English, especially when you are in a English-speaking country.
There is a saying goes that, what under a language is a culture. So why I like to study English is because I can acquire some of the knowledge of a different civilization , even it somehow seems shallow.
When I study the English , I always try to find the interesting aspects .For instance, I have listened to a lot of English songs, it did give me a sensibility of English. I can still remember some of the words:
When I was young I listen to the radio ,
Waiting for my favorite songs
When they play I’d sing alone
It made me smile…

A empty street a empty horse
I hold inside my heart
I’m all alone
The rooms are getting smaller…

Some of the words certainly impressed me a lot, my favorite song is Hotel California. The prelude is like a flow of water, so fluently make you feel like flying in the sky upon the cloud. So perfect.
Also there are stories behind the songs, there are metaphors behind. These are all interesting things I can find.
I think what you need to study English is to usse it like our tuitor said 'jump into the pool to study to swim'
Interests is a great tool

  2. I like these songs too! You can say I grew up listening to them because my mum loves these songs, and played them almost every day!
