Of all the seasons of the year, I think that spring is the loveliest and most {#blank#}1{#/blank#} season. In the bitter cold winter, we long for the spring when the weather is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} hot nor cold. Everything seems to be fresh and wakening. It is a time {#blank#}3{#/blank#} going on picnics. It is also the time {#blank#}4{#/blank#} we Chinese have the{#blank#}5{#/blank#} festival —-the Spring Festival, according to our country's custom.
In spring, there are all {#blank#}6{#/blank#} of flowers blooming in gardens and parks. Grass and trees turn {#blank#}7{#/blank#} . Birds sing in the woods. The climate is mild and the air is invigorating. Poets describe spring as a season{#blank#}8{#/blank#} of hope, as the “year's king”.
Spring is a splendid picture in our life. Spring {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to us and we should make good use of it. We should study and work {#blank#}10{#/blank#} .

    Now more than 40 million {#blank#}1{#/blank#} around the world are learning Chinese, according to a report. The relationship {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the United States and China is becoming more and more important in the world. This has really {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the growth of Chinese language learning in U.S.

    I am Chris from the United States. I am one of the many people {#blank#}4{#/blank#} are learning Chinese. I am studying at a Confucius Institute(孔子学院)in New York. There are 10 students in our class. Some are over thirty years old. Some are middle school students. Our teacher comes from Beijing. He is fun and often tells us interesting things in China.

    I think Chinese is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to learn. The biggest challenge for American learners is the writing. Chinese is {#blank#}6{#/blank#} different from any other language in the world. It will take me a lot of time to learn enough Chinese characters(汉字). But I think there are many benefits (益处) of {#blank#}7{#/blank#} time in learning Chinese. One important benefit is that it makes me see things from a {#blank#}8{#/blank#} point of view, because Chinese is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} a different language from English. I think for American the students most important benefit is that {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a challenging language can open up their eyes.
