Why I Learn Chinese

I am eighteen years old. I have learned Chinese at the FFCA NordPas-de Calais for three years.

I will continue to study Chinese during my five-year university life and try to get a job dealing with China in the future.

I became interested in China at the age of 13， and my interest grew year by year.

I like learning Chinese， a language vastly different from my mother tongue. Through it， I have learned about a country that has ancient civilization， yet takes its place among the great powers in today’s world. It is truly remarkable that China’s annual economic growth rate reaches 10 percent.

I am greatly attracted by China， though I have not yet had a chance to go there. I like the rich and delicious Chinese food and beautiful Chinese music. I appreciate my Chinese friends for familiarizing me with Chinese music and helping me know more about the Chinese people and culture.

My eagerness for study and interest in China have given me aspiration and confidence in learning Chinese.
