There are not enough Chinese language teachers in the world. It has become a big problem. Didi Dawis, president of the Indonesia Fujian Association（印尼福建商会）, said Indonesia has only about 1,000 Chinese teachers.
With increasing trade and communication between China and Indonesia, more and more companies from the two countries have established language offices. These new companies need a large amount of people who are good at Chinese,” he said.
Didi Dawis hoped that China would take Indonesia’s language needs into consideration and send more Chinese teachers.
In recent years, the Chinese language has become more and more popular worldwide the United States government also noticed the importance of the Chinese language. In New York and California, it has become the second language of many students. In the future, more and more schools will open Chinese course, so they need many high-level Chinese teachers.
China is working out many ways to solve the problem. President Xi Jinping said, during his visit to the US in September in the next three years, China will support the studies of 50,000 Chinese and US students in both countries, and the US will provide chances for as many as one million students to learn Chinese by 2020.

【推荐1】Everybody knows that words can carry messages. People communicate with words. Books, magazines, TVs, radios and films all help us to communicate with others. They all help us to know what is gong on in the world and what other people are thinking about.
Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows that you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you put your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask a question. You shake your head, and people know you are saying “No”. You nod and people know you are saying “Yes”.
Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library.
Signs on doors tell you where to go in or out. Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time?
People can communicate in many ways without words. For example, an artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, seas and many other things.

Colin and his family visited players and coaches of the Kalamazoo Wings at a restaurant this week. Colin said, "I knew we were going to the restaurant, but I was not expecting the rest（其余）."
The team provided the boy with a one-day contract（合同）. It will allow him to join the Wings for their home（主场）game on Sunday. Colin will get his own jersey（线衣）. He will drop the game puck（冰球）and even sit on the bench with the players.
Colin has trouble communicating with other people. This makes it hard for him to make friends with kids of his age. Children and adults with such trouble often have high IQ, but have problems in social situations. They often have trouble understanding jokes.
So his mother created a "Happy Birthday Colin" on a Facebook page. It went viral and drew more than 2 million "likes." Colin's mom said the best reward for her efforts was seeing Colin grow. "I have seen him change greatly because he knows he has 2.1 million friends. His self-confidence has grown."
K-Wings Head Coach Nick Bootland said, "There are things that are much bigger than the game. If we can put a smile on a kid's face that deals with a lot of trouble, we're excited about that chance."

Speak to one person as long as 15 seconds and then change another one. B. You should know you and most of the people you talk to are different in many ways. Some of them may not know what you are talking about. Then speak to them on their terms and in their languages. C. When you talk, try to be as natural as possible. Don’t try to memorize your words or read or recite them to your audience. You can use short notes to help you remember the important points. D. It’s true that there are some differences between American English and British English, but they’ll not cause much difficulty for listeners, so just speak the way you’re used to. E. The audience may have a hard time understanding what they hear. They need your help. Slow down, pause (停顿) and guide the audience through your talk. Remember that you should help the audience understand what you are saying. F. Making your voice a little lower than normal. Listeners like to listen to a relatively (相对) deep voice. It will make them feel comfortable. G. Concentrate on what you want to say. If you are always paying attention to gestures, you will feel uncomfortable. Try to reduce some unnecessary gestures. |
【推荐1】People use their mouths for many things. In the English language, there are many expressions using the word “mouth”. But some of them are not so nice.
Sometimes, people say something to a friend or a family member. Later they regret because it hurts that person’s feelings. Or they tell the person something they didn’t mean to tell. The speaker might say: “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.”
Sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend is going to say. When this happens, the friend might say: “You took the words right out of my mouth!” Sometimes a person has a bad or sad experience with another person. He might say that experience “left a bad taste in my mouth.” Or the person possibly has a very frightening (可怕的) experience, like having an angry dog running after him. He might say: “I had my heart in my mouth.”
Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. You might say the person “was born with a silver spoon (银勺) in his mouth”. He is the opposite of a person living from “hand to mouth”. This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food.

| C．Memorize more English words. Try to read more books or newspapers. You can learn more new words by reading. |

| E．Take notes carefully. It’s very important to have a good habit in class, which means you should take a lot of grammar notes even though the teacher doesn’t write them down on the blackboard. Try to understand the grammar notes well but not just copy them. |
| F．Join an English club. You can find one in your school or your city. It’s a good chance for the English learners to practice their language skills and share their feelings as well in the English club. |
| G．Develop some good reading habits. First you have to find out the reason why you can’t read fast like other. Do you always read in a right way that is the same as you are reading your mother language? |
【推荐3】Language changes all the time. New words and phrases appear and grow. The words and pronunciations used by young people in the UK can be very different from those used by adults. Living in a multi (多元的)—cultural society has an effect on language, especially on young people, whose friends are often from a mix of backgrounds. TV and music also influence the language of the young.
Young British people use lots of language that you usually can’t find in most dictionaries. These very informal (不正规的) words and expressions are known as “slang” (俚语). It is not possible to make a complete list of modern British slang. By the time the list was finished, it would be out of date! However, here are a few examples:
◆“Safe”, “sorted”, “sound”, “cool” and “wicked” all mean “That’s good” or “I understand”.
◆“Whatever” means “I don’t care (e.g. A: But the teacher says we can’t leave until we’ve finished. B: Whatever. I’m going.)
◆“He’s fine”. And “He’s fit.” both mean “He’s good-looking” Fine and fit can describe a boy or a girl.
Not everybody uses slang and not everybody likes it. A school in Sheffield has recently required its pupils to stop using slang words such as hiya (hello), cheers and ta (both mean “thank you”). The head teacher says that if young people learn to speak “correctly”, this will help them get a place at university and a good job.
So, how important is it to learn these slang words and expressions? If you watch films or TV in English, read magazines in English, chat online in English or are interested in English song lyrics, then understanding slang can be very useful. You probably won’t see much slang in your English exam, though.

—Preface
82-year-old Yang Benfen, known as a granny wrtier “by the stove” published her third book in February. Yang started writing in her 60s and published her first book Qiuyuan at 80. She spent most of her time writing in the kitchen and became a bestselling author.
Being asked about what makes her keep writing, she explained, “I realized that if those stories were not written down, all traces(痕迹) of my mother would be completely wiped out from the world sooner or later like dust on a table blown away by wind,” she said to us, she started her writing journey while making meals for her family members.
She finished her first hand-written copy of book with more than 100, 000 words in 2007. “It seems like are union(团聚) with many people who have left me in my memory.” Yang described her writing process.
Later, Yang’s daughter posted this copy of book online as a serial. Bad words and good words poured in. Those who disliked it said the story of a “nobody” is unworthy of being recorded, but some readers’ support encouraged the granny writer to hold out for her dream. Yet the online serialized(连载的) novel did not get the attention of any publishers until more than ten years later. “She writes in gentle and simple words but describes the characters’ struggles with their destiny (命运). I was shocked that it was written by a green hand,” said publisher Tu Zhigang. Her first work Qiyuan was published in June 2020 and proved a big success. More than 90, 000 copies have been sold so far.
As for now, Granny Yang has no plans to stop. Her fourth book is on the way and she has learned how to use a computer. “I can write anytime, anywhere, and it is more convenient to improve my writing.” “In old age, I am like a train on a new journey. An unimaginable force drives me forward. I know that the story under my pen is just a drop of water, and it will finally flow into the long river of human history.” Yang said.

【推荐3】Wenheyou, which was opened in 2011 in Changsha, copied local street culture of the 1980s by selling different kinds of dishes. At first, it was only a small shop in the street.

In Wenheyou Superb in Changsha, you can find a radio spreading the “news” from the 1980s, or a black and white television playing old films. They are very popular with visitors.
__________ On the app Dazhongdianping, more than 999 comments complained about the wait time. Among the complaints, most of the customers don’t like the service and food quality. “In my opinion, it would be better to pick a small shop that puts its heart into the food,” wrote one customer.
