The last English course and especially this image inspired me to share my experience connected with it. Two main benefits concern me in particular. The knowledge of  a foreign language allowed me to know love. And that love let to me travel. 
I have never thought seriously about having a boyfriend from abroad. Even just before knowing the boy I was an opponent of the long-distance relationship. My friend's boyfriend is a foreigner. When I saw how long they were messaging each other I thought that I could never speak like that. I mean to write long messages in the other language and explain everything. Secondly, I thought that I wouldn't wait long for a date with my boyfriend and see him just one or two times per a month. 
But everything changed when the same situation started to concern me. Suddenly all these things become natural for me and I believed in my skills. Of course, sometimes we have a little problem with communication, it happens. We don't have to know all the words, we can explain or show almost everything. So far, our small linguistic mistakes have brought us only a few funny moments. I feel more self-assured because I can give big thing thanks to my knowledge of a foreign language. I also became more open-minded.
