Now more than one billion people in China speak putonghua, or Mandarin, as their first language. At the same time, dongbeihua, or northeast dialect (方言), has become more popular. The dialect makes even the most serious daily conversations sound fun.

Ms Ann, a Chinese language teacher, opened a class to teach middle school students dongbeihua in Heilongjiang Province. "I just hope to help the students learn more about the culture of their home town," said Ms Ann.

"It is important to inherit (继承) the northeast dialect in a new form,"she said. "For most students, they are speaking Mandarin or even English to adapt(适应) to society. They don't pay more attention to the dialect or the culture behind it. That's a pity. They need to pass it on."

Now there are over thirty students in her class. At first, some students believed it would not be difficult for the northeasterners to speak dongbeihua well. However, with the deepening of the class, the students could only speak some easy words and knew little about the meaning behind them. To increase students' interest, Ms Ann has been trying different ways. For example, she chose video clips from interesting cartoons for her students to dub (配音) them into dongbeihua.

Both Mandarin and dialect are the carriers (载体) of Chinese language and culture. Learning the dialect is learning our local culture and history.

I have forgotten the name of the old lady, who was a customer on my newspaper route(送报路线)when I was twelve. Yet she taught me a 1 that I shall never forget.

On a winter afternoon a friend and I were 2 stones onto the roof(屋顶)of the old lady's house near her garden. I found myself a 3 and threw it. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped(滑) from my hand as I let it go and headed straight for a small window on the lady's door. At the sound of 4 glass, we knew we were 5 . We ran faster than any of our stones 6 off her roof.

I was too afraid about getting 7 that night and worried about the old lady with the broken window in winter. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn't been discovered, I stated to feel it a great shame 8 making her so much trouble. She still greeted me with a smile each day 9 I gave her the newspaper, but I was no longer able to act comfortably when seeing her.

I decided that I would 10 my paper deliver(送) money, and in three weeks I had seven dollars. I put the 11 in an envelope with a note saying that I was 12 for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost of repairing it.

The next day, I handed the old lady her paper. She thanked me for the paper and gave me a bag of biscuits she had made herself. I thanked her and ate the biscuits as I 13 my newspaper route. After several biscuits, I felt an envelope and 14 it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was 15 . Inside were the seven dollars and a short note that said, "I'm proud of you."
