You have been working hard to learn English.Do you know American kids are trying to learn
Chinese?More than 60,000 American students now study Chinese.
      “Because of China's fast development,Chinese has become more useful,and more and more
Americans begin to learn it," said Scott McGinnis,a Washington language expert (专家).
      For example,in 1999,only three schools in Chicago had Chinese lessons.This year more than
30 schools there have Chinese during school days.Last year China gave them 3,000 textbooks
because they had done a good job.
      Although Chinese is becoming more and more popular,it is one of the most difficult languages to
learn.Usually,an English speaker takes about 1,320 hours to become good at Chinese.He needs
only 480 hours for French,Spanish or Italian.要人不要机器

你一直在非常努力地学习英语.那你知道美国的孩子们也在尝试学习中文吗?超过6万美国学生如今正在学习中文.
Scott McGinnis,一名华盛顿语言专家说：“由于中国的快速发展,中文逐渐变得有用,越来越多的美国人开始学习中文.
举个例子来说,1999年,芝加哥只有3所学校开设中文课程.今年那里超过30所学校开设中文课程.去年由于这些学校做得非常好,中国赠与他们3千本教科书.
尽管中文越来越流行,中文仍是最难学的语言之一.通常,一名英语母语者要花1320小时的学习才能学好中文.但他只需要480小时学好法语、西班牙语和意大利语.
