Introduction
Reasons
While-reading
My name is Michael. I’m in Grade 8 at a public school of New York City. I have been learning Chinese for three years. Many people ask me why I want to learn Chinese. When I really think about it, there are so many reasons.
Since I was a little kid, I have always been interested in Chinese culture. My home was only about 10 minutes’ walk from Chinatown. I loved going to Chinese restaurants with my family and watching dragon dances during the Spring Festival. In the 6th grade, my primary school offered several foreign language courses. Most of my classmates chose Spanish or French, but I found writing Chinese characters and understanding Chinese grammar challenging and enjoyable. After learning Chinese for some time, I started to dream of traveling to China one day. My father went to China on business once. He told me that China has one of the world’s oldest cultures and has become one of the largest economies. Learning Chinese can surely allow me to better experience China’s traditional culture and modern development as well.
In any case, Chinese will be more widely used in the future as China is growing stronger. Why not join me and study this interesting and valuable language?

Why do I Learn English
I have been interested in English for many years. My uncle works abroad and often goes there on business. He lives far away from our city.
I found English challenging and enjoyable when I began to study it. It allows me to read interesting foreign books and watch great English movies. English opens a whole new world to me. I will never stop learning English.
In any case, I believe English is really helpful for my future life. Why not spend more time practicing it every day?

I have been interested in learning a foreign language for a long time. My uncle often goes abroad on business and lives far away from our hometown. He always shares amazing stories about other countries with me.
I found foreign‑language‑learning challenging and enjoyable at the very beginning. It allows me to communicate with people from different places and learn about new cultures. Of course, I also meet lots of difficulties in vocabulary and grammar.
In any case, I won’t give it up. A foreign language is a bridge connecting the whole world. Why not pick up a foreign language and keep learning it?
Thank you!
