    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.

    My name is Betty. I am twelve. I have some {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. We are middle school students. We are in Class Two, Grade Seven. This is Miss Green. She is an American teacher. She {#blank#}2{#/blank#} us English. Her classes are very {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. We all like her.

    This is my new classroom. In the classroom you can see many {#blank#}4{#/blank#} and chairs. A blackboard, a clock and a map {#blank#}5{#/blank#} China are on the wall. On a desk, you can see some pencils. The red one is mine. The green one is {#blank#}6{#/blank#}.

    Look! You can see a ball under the desk. That's Kate's desk. The ball is{#blank#}7{#/blank#}, too. This is my desk. You can see a {#blank#}8{#/blank#}on it.

    Pablo and I were walking home from playing football. On the way, I told him that our school needed {#blank#}1{#/blank#} football team. At once, Pablo suggested," Why not run for(.竞选) class president so that you can set one up ?"

    "Who would want {#blank#}2{#/blank#} ？"I asked, surprised at the idea.

    Pablo made a list of reasons: I was the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} student of all in sports and lessons; I was {#blank#}4{#/blank#}to everybody. When I told him running for president would be much work, he {#blank#}5{#/blank#} that he would help me.

    I did run, and Pablo did help me. First, we made posters to hang in the hallway. Next, Pablo helped me {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a speech about why I'd make a good class president.

    The big day came. I gave my speech in front of the whole grade, promising my {#blank#}7{#/blank#}that if they chose me, I'd start a football team.

    As Pablo and I nervously waited {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the results, I was told that my speech was so successful {#blank#}9{#/blank#}I was the right person to be class president.

    Now we went {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to Coach Simpason and asked how I could start our new football team.
