I was so excited to see all the different runners, they passed by and quickly took a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past.I saw so many types of people doing it. I thought maybe 1 could do it too! The next year I decided to run for the race, but I had a little running practice. I just wanted to finish.On the day of the race, it was terribly hot. After running for about 5 kilometres , 1 was thinking, “Why did I do this? And at one moment ,I said to myself，“I am never doing this again!”That first 10km race was quite an experience. I ran slowly, I walked, I ran slowly and walked. At times，I didnt know if I could finish.Near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very fast, and I felt a little shamed that I was more than 50 years younger than he and I couldnt even keep up with him. But then 1 realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. How often in life do we compare ourselves with others when we really shouldnt?

EmigrationWhen you move to a different country or region, learning the local language will help you to communicate with the local community. Even if many local people speak your language, its important to learn their language. It will also give you a better understanding of their culture and way of thinking.WorkIf your work is about languages, talking to them in their own languages will help you to communicate with them. Knowing languages may also increase your chances of finding a new job, getting a promotion or a transfer overseas, or of going on foreign business trips.Many English-speaking business people dont bother to learn other languages because they believe that most of the people they do business with in foreign countries can speak English. The lack of foreign language knowledge puts the English speakers at a disadvantage.TravelWhen you go on holiday you can get more information by speaking English. If people dont understand you, all you have to do is speak slowly and turn up the voice.FoodPerhaps you enjoy the food and drink of a country or region and make trips there.
