Socrates, the famous philosopher in ancient Greek had a saying, “The only thing I know is I do not know anything.” I really love this sentence and take it as my motto. I found my existence is surely very humble in the world because of these words. In this case, I have never thought of me having a spectacular skill or something else. There are definitely many other people stronger than me. And there’s no need for me to be proud of my skills in this situation.
I had been learning German before I graduated from junior high. It was a very special ability to have in Taiwan, because people barely use this language to communicate with each other. At that period, I was once able to be a translator when my family traveled to Europe, and most foreigners were absolutely surprised and shocked to hear a child speak their language like a native speaker. I could even read or write without any problems, just like a German-born-Chinese. However, I have stopped to use this language as I entered senior high. Because of the pressure to advance a higher school, I had no choice but to give up. Fortunately, I didn’t stop learning another tongue, English. I have been learning this International communication tool since I was only three years old. I spent three hours everyday to negotiate with foreign teachers, which established my listening, speaking, reading and writing to be just like a foreign child. I also learned grammar in conversations, phonics, Geography, History and literature, it became really helpful afterward. I could just spend little time memorizing vocabularies and get high scores in school exams. The only thing bothering me is that I often couldn’t understand what the teacher is teaching when he uses Mandarin to explain English grammar. The rules have already settled in my brain and could hardly be forgotten. Though I always have had confidence within my language usage and ability, I still can’t satisfy myself easily. After all I am always a Chinese. English would never become my mother tongue. I could only work harder and harder to be like a native speaker. That is the reason why I kept studying this tongue.

That is the reason why human wants stay young.
As for me, I don’t want to be weak and ugly either. If I could pick any age to be forever, I would pick 20. At the age of 20, it is generally accepted that you are a grown-up, an adult, capable of doing anything that the law allows you to do. For instance, owning a car or a house, drink or get married. Still, people consider 20 a young age. Therefore, if I were able to stay 20, I would be both young and independent. I would be in good physical condition since my evolvement is nearly complete. In my opinion, being 20 years old is being great status.
