My name is ..., but my username here is lolyoshi or loly. I am living in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam. In addition, I am a junior at University of Natural Sciences. I study physics, and my speciality is physics computer science. I am here because I want to improve my English more and more. I learn English because of the following reasons. First, many documents which is necessary for my study is in English. Thus, understanding English is my requirement. Second, almost superior companies here ask me to have good English skills. So, if I want to have a good job with high salary and quick promotion, I must be fluent in English. Besides, I also enjoy learning new languages. To me, when I study some languages of some countries, I know how the cultures, customs, and people are, too. Finally, I realize that English is the most common language in the world. I can meet, talk, make friends with a lot of people around the world in English.

    Really well done, Loly!  Good luck!

    I live in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. [CAPITALIZE 'CITY" IF it is part of the official name.  I think it is.

    Also:  USE PRESENT SIMPLE: "I live..." and not "I am living..."  WHY?  Because, IN ENGLISH we use present simple to suggest normal, habitual, routine activities~like where you live.

    Ex: "I live in Uruguay." (generally)

           "I am living in a hotel." (Unusual/for the moment.  I am looking for an apartment.)

    "I want to improve my English (more and more)." (Not necessary; it is understood.)

    I study/learn English for/(because of) the following reasons:

    First, many documents (which is) necessary for my studies are is in English. ('documents~plural)

    (or..."many of my college texts are in English.")

    So/thus, understanding English is a my requirement (for me). [Use 'so'; avoid 'thus'.]

    Second, all the best almost superior companies require/ask me to have good English skills.

    So, if I want to get/keep/have a good job with a high salary (or "good pay") and the opportunity for advancement/quick promotion, I must be fluent in English.

    To me, when I study the some languages of different/some countries, I get to know about how the cultures, customs, and people are, too. (or.."I get to know about the people and their cultures and customs, too.")

    Finally, I realize that English is the most common language in the world. I can meet, talk and make friends with a lot of people around the world with/in English.

    Superb!  Great job and terrific effort!
