However, many students in the U.S. are working hard to learn Chinese. As China’s influence (影响) grows, parents and education experts (专家) in the U.S. think Chinese speakers may have greater opportunities. The number of schools that teach Chinese has grown. Ten years ago, only about 300 schools in the U.S. had Chinese lessons. Today, about 1, 600 schools teach Chinese. Lomond Elementary School in Ohio is one of them. Each week, all students from Grade One to Grade Five have a one-hour Chinese lesson. They learn the language through songs, games and lots of talking. “We’re trying to make students interested in the language,” a teacher called James J. Paces told Time For Kids. “We think it’s really important that all children receive these lessons,” he says.“We’d like to do even more.” “Schools are looking to the future,” says Nancy C.Rhodes, a U. S. education expert. “China is becoming a really powerful country. Young people should know the language and understand Chinese culture.”   Students may not be thinking about the future, but they think learning Chinese language and culture is fun
