[00:03.22]On Foreigners’ Learning Chinese
[00:06.21]Nowadays, Chinese, our mother tongue, 
[00:09.82]is enjoying an unprecedented popularity in the world. 
[00:14.52]Over two hundred Confucius Institutes 
[00:17.95]have been set up in sixty-nine countries, 
[00:21.13]and many foreigners are attracted by the old, 
[00:24.42]mysterious and charming language.
[00:27.50]Several factors account for the enthusiasm for learning Chinese. 
[00:32.85]Firstly, with the rapid economic development, 
[00:36.99]China has experienced a dramatic rise 
[00:39.95]in its international influence, 
[00:42.36]which enlarges the need of many countries for professionals 
[00:46.46]with a proficiency in Chinese language. 
[00:49.52]Secondly, Chinese serves as a useful tool for foreigners 
[00:54.08]to investigate the splendid Chinese culture 
[00:57.07]and its rich connotations. 
[00:59.57]Finally, the wide spread of Chinese 
[01:02.70]is partly due to the every endeavor 
[01:05.20]made by plenty of Chinese training organizations.
[01:08.87]The popularity of learning Chinese 
[01:11.18]has not only increased my national pride, 
[01:14.29]but made me realize the significance of economic development. 
[01:18.33]Besides, we college students 
[01:20.91]should first learn our mother tongue well, 
[01:23.59]and then take the responsibility to popularize it.
