Topic 19 On Foreigners' Learning Chinese
Nowadays, Chinese, our mother tongue, is enjoying an unprecedented
popularity in the world. Over two hundred Confucius Institutes have been setup
in sixty-nine countries, and many foreigners are attracted by the old,
mysterious and charming language.
Several factors account for the enthusiasm for learning Chinese. Firstly,
with the rapid economic development, Chinahas experienced a dramatic rise in its
international influence, which enlarges the need of many countries for
professionals with a proficiency in Chinese language. Secondly, Chinese serves
as a useful tool for foreigners to investigate the splendid Chinese culture and
its rich connotations. Finally, the wide spread of Chinese is partly due to the
every endeavor made by plenty of Chinese training organizations.
The popularity of learning Chinese has not only increased my national
pride, but made me realize the significance of economic development. Besides, we
college students should first learn our mother tongue well, and then take the
responsibility to popularize it. |
