If you surf the internet, you can see children from other countries speak Chinese. Why do they learn to speak Chinese? Let me tell you the reasons.
First, many schools have Chinese lessons for their students. They take Chinese lessons three times a week at school if they want. In these lessons, they learn to speak Chinese and sing Chinese songs. Sometimes, they also write Chinese characters(汉字). “It's not easy for me, but they look beautiful on paper,” says Tom, a Grade 7 student from America.
Second, more and more children want to learn a lot about China. They like Chinese food, Chinese history and of course, Chinese people. Some may travel to China with their parents on holiday.
Children also try other ways to learn Chinese well in their free time. Some keep diaries (日记) in Chinese and others make friends with Chinese people on the internet. They sometimes practise Chinese by talking with visitors(游客) from China.
