Linguistics is the science to study about language. Study how systematically using the language bring that language communicatively when we implementation while we communication. Likewise Reefe have state that “Linguistics is the study of the nature of language and how people communicate using language” (Reefe, 2019). On linguistics there are sub study in language such as; phonetics (sounds classification), phonology (sounds system), syntax (arrangement of words and phrases), semantics (logic concern with meaning), pragmatics (deal with language in use and which it used) and morphology (structure of words). Talking about linguistics even another science, that there is the reason and importance why we must to take study about that sciences. In this writing there are three reasons of importance to studying linguistics.

In educational aspect is very important to study linguistic. Which every school in the world, especially in Indonesia, that very needed a teacher who conducted with the skill on linguistic. Through to the linguistic education for all the student as the generation of this country, it will give the understanding on how to use as the right way of language as to implementation when communicate with the other, as in bahasa “cara penggunaan bahasa yang baku” that easy to understand.

It was one of the questioned that I have feel and I was always thanked. When I was graduated from senior high school, it was four years ago. One moment I was thanked, that go to University as one of the way to invest for myself to prepare the better future on my way of life. On this this writing, I would like to convey the reason I go to University. There are three main thinking, that’s why I want to go to University.

On the first thinking, that I go to University. I can learn more to be skillful on what I have chosen to do struggle on what I will become for my future. I could hold that skill through study in University that I join. Likewise the others, whatever University that you have chosen. As long as you think that University to help you learn more to being skillful on what you want to bring you to the better future. 

The second thinking, that I can do and gain into the some of jobs prospect, through the skill that I have learned more from University. It when I was graduated from University. For the example, if I am taking the foreign language faculty to study in University, latter on I can be a guide, interpreter, translator, receptionist, foreign language teacher, etc. Also, if I take economic faculty, latter on I can be banker, financial accounting on whatever the companies, economic teacher, etc. It can more jobs prospect that I can adjust. Also the others, you will be easy to adjust yourself to some of jobs prospect, on depend of skill you have learned from University that you chose as the faculty you have through.

Also I would like to use the rest of my life to study. So as not to waste part of my time a day. In additions to do my hobby, fun, even work on one day, and I go to University as I can learn more subjects from University. 

From three series of thoughts above, it can be conclude that the question of “Why go to University?” is one of the question for who student have finish their Senior High School.
