My 9-year-old daughter and I were flying from our home in Charlotte, North Carolina, to spend a week with my

husband Mike in Miami, Florida. 1 had been working in Florida for five months. Kallie       2 her dad terribly. 

The plane was full. I had3 a group of Boy Scouts(童子军) at the gate and said to my daughter that 4

anything happened, we would be OK with all those scouts on our5 !

Because we did not get our boarding passes until we6 the gate, Kallie and I could not get seats together. That wasn't such a big deal, except that Kallie had counted on me reading to her the whole way. 

When the 7 in my row boarded the plane, I asked if they would change places with Kallie or me. They 8 , saying they wanted to stay in their own seats. 

At the same time, a mother and her two children several rows ahead of us also met the same 9 . The mother could hold her baby, but her 6-year-old son had to sit with strangers.  10 nobody offered to help her. 

Suddenly, the scout leader stood up and said: "Ma'am, I think we can help you. " He then 11 five minutes

rearranging his group so there was space available for the family. And then the mother was much more12 . 

Amazingly, the man sitting next to the scout leader, turned to me and asked: "Would you and your daughter like our13 ?" We changed seats and continued on our trip, very happy to be together. 

Would that man have 14 us his seat if the scouts hadn'tdone so for the mom and her children? I don't know. But

I do know that 15 is good, and good deeds cause more good deeds! Being kind is important and can be an example for everyone around you. One act of kindness can in turn cause many more kind acts. 

Chinese is getting mare and more popular, so the UK government plans to invest（投资） 10 million pounds to help more kids lean Chinese Do you think it is necessary for the UK pupils to learn Chinese? 

Seneca （Canada）

I studied French for 2 years in high school, and German for 4 years in college and got good marks. I studied Chinese for about 4 months before moving to China. For any language, if you don't use it, it will be easy to lose it I've forgotten the French l leaned except for a few phrases. I speak Chinese every day. My writing, reading and listening are quite good, but far from fluent. I think it's necessary to learn Chinese. 

Tony（the UK）

Learning any language can be valuable, but it is not suitable for everyone. Chinese is a difficult language to learn, and teachers in the UK are not good at teaching foreign languages. However, China is a big and developing market for English businesspeople. For them, Chinese is worth learning. 

Bill（the US）

I don't think Chinese will replace（取代）English. Chinese is difficult to learn. To learn Chinese, you have to learn how to write and read it carefully. In the future, Chinese will become more popular, so I think learning Chinese is a good thing.
