My wife and I recently had a two-week trip to Vietnam and Thailand.It was exciting! The best part was that we made different people's 1 there.I also learned some lessons from the trip，and I'd like to 2 the biggest lesson that I learned with you: to live your life to the fullest，you need to learn new 3 .
I spend most of my time in my home country，Indonesia. 4 ，I can understand what everybody is saying there. I also spent some time overseas in an English-speaking country.I could also 5 what everybody there is saying.This trip is quite different.Here I spent my time in two countries where most people don't speak English. 6 ，I couldn't understand what they were saying! I remember my 7 that what sounded like random voices to me actually 8 meaning.I also remember the 9 feeling — after coming back home — of suddenly understanding again what everyone around is saying，which left me puzzled and 10 .
This gave me realization：I have been living in a 11 environment.Being at a place with a 12 language is one of the great pleasures in life.It's good to understand what everyone around you is saying 13 having to learn anything new.
But 14 ？ Doing that means 15 yourself to just a small part of the world.It's like being in a small box.The 16 is that there is so much more out there.There are so many 17 cultures to experience in other countries，You need to 18 them if you want to live your life to the fullest.But that 19 you to learn new languages after you 20 your box.
