Надо написать соченение на тему " i used to think" (я раньше думала…)

I used to think that learning foreign language is not very important. In school i'm learning English, but i didn't pay much attention to this subject. But this summer i changed my mind. I was spending this summer with my mom in Turkey. We were having great time. One day we went shopping to Antaliya. We decided to have a little snack in a small cafe. After we finished, we left the cafe and went shopping again. In about an hour I realized that I left my purse in that cafe. There was not much money in it, but there was a nice and expensive little camera with pictures in it. We came back, i was trying to explain my problem to the waiter and the owner of the place. But they didn't understand me. Fortunately, there was that nice woman from Smolensk in that cafe at that time. She asked me about the whole situation and explained everything to the owner in English. He answered that he gave my purse to the policeman and walked us there. In conclusion i want to say, that everything ended well. At that very moment I understood how important it is to know foreign language. Now I'm paying much more attention to English.
