I arrived in New York two weeks ago. There aren’t many Chinese students here, so I have to use English most of the time. Now I am writing my diary in English because my English teacher Rachel says it is a good way to practice English.

My English is hopeless! I was on the bus this morning and a man spoke to me, but I hardly understood him. I was so embarrassed (尴尬的). Why is my English so poor? I want to make lots of American friends, but it’s hard for me to communicate with others.

I went to a school party last Friday. I talked with a Japanese boy named Kenji and an Italian girl named Carla. We talked about our countries’ customs and our experiences in America.

As China’s influence grows, many students in the US are working hard to learn Chinese. Parents and education experts(专家)in the US think Chinese speakers may have greater chances.
The number of schools that teach Chinese has grown. Ten years ago, only about 300 schools in the US had Chinese lessons. Today, about 1, 600 schools teach Chinese.
Lomond Elementary School in Ohio is one of them. Each week, all students in grades one to five have a one-hour Chinese class. They learn the language through songs, games and lots of talking.
“We’re trying to make students interested in the language,” teacher James told Times for Kids. “We think it’s really important that all children receive these lessons,” he says. “We’d like to do even more.”
“Schools are looking to the future,” says Nancy, a US education expert. “China is becoming a really powerful country. Young people should not only know the language, but also understand the culture. Students may not be thinking about the future, but they think learning Chinese language and culture is fun.”
“We wish we could go to China one day,” said Karl and his classmate, Walt, from Miami.
More than 40 million foreigners around the world are studying Chinese. About 50,000 people in the US are learning the language. Chinese has become the second most spoken foreign language in the US after Spanish.
