This is the first draft. How's the idea?
Back to 2 years ago I often heard people saying" How nice you are able to speak three languages!" I was a little bit proud of this but didn't really understand its value. For me, all the learning of language was just took up for the sake of living environment of school course requisition. And I did nothing related to these skills.
The view that I see language only as a "skill" changed after I attend a formal dinner party and played as translator between Japanese visitors and Chinese students. Overcame my shyness of speaking in front of 200 guests, I made a welcome speech in Japanese. That was an activity between high schools in different nations, and I played as one of the core part during all the conversation. Not only did I interpret the talk between Chinese and Japanese, but also I introduced both culture to everybody. The greatness of the Forbidden Palace, the magnificent of Great Wall and the unique atmosphere in Beijing's HuTong attracted those foreigners as the beautiful FUJI scenery intrigued us Chinese. I felt magically satisfied when everybody got to know better about a country. The dinner party turned out to be a big success and the president told me she is so proud of the night.
And I strongly realized the function of language. It reduces the gap between different cultures, enlarges culture's influence. It also bring people's mind closer, like I still kept the address of friends I meet on that night. I appreciate the charisma of language for its function as the core of borderless communication, for its wonderful effect on some fields such as writing and theatre performance.
From then on I start to notice every chance I could contribute to the communication by language like being my mom's company's translator of business meeting and starting a pool among foreign visitors in the Forbidden City. As language could be a means of improving the environment we rely on, I consider pursue my goals in this colorful field.
