1.What do you know about Chinese language
learning abroad?
As China is booming, the connection between China and the rest of the world has increased. As a result, learning Chinese has become important for many people. Other people are learning Chinese because they are interested in Chinese culture.
2. How do people from other countries learn about Chinese culture?
By watching films, visiting China, attending a
Confucius Institute, etc.
With China’s rapid economic growth and wide exchanges with the rest of the world, there has been a sharp increase in the world demand for Chinese language learning. To meet the increasing demands for Chinese learning, the Chinese government decided to set up Confucius Institutes in foreign countries. The first Confucius Institute was set up in South Korea in 2004. Confucius Institutes adopt flexible teaching patterns to suit local conditions while teaching Chinese language and promoting cultural exchange in foreign schools, universities, communities, and enterprises.

Pronunciation
Lu Yao: Excuse me, Miss Conner. I’m having a problem with this English listening task. Some words
are pronounced really fast and sound different.
Miss Conner: Oh, let me listen ... Yes, that’s probably because the words are not being stressed. You see,
English is a stress-based language.
Lu Yao: So does this mean I need to know which words are stressed and which are not?
Miss Conner: Yes. I’m afraid so. English words have a strong form and a weak form. Words like pronouns,
articles, prepositions, and so on are often not stressed. So we usually use the weak form for
them when we speak.
Lu Yao: Oh no. When I speak, I worry people won’t understand me, so I always try to pronounce all
my words really clearly. No wonder my classmates say I sound like a robot!
Miss Conner: Oh dear! Well, I suggest you pay more attention to the weak forms. For example, in the
sentence “Are you studying hard?”, the words “are” and “you” are pronounced as /ə/ and /jə/.
Lu Yao: Oh, I get it. Thanks, Miss Conner.
Miss Conner: You’re welcome. I also suggest you watch some movies and study how the weak forms are used.
Lu Yao: That’s great advice, Miss Conner! I’m going to watch a movie right now. Thanks again! Bye!
