As a Chinese citizen (中国公民), I’m proud to experience how my motherland took actions to protect her citizens. I never thought Chinese citizenship     1     (save) our lives until I saw the government try everything it could to save overseas Chinese citizens. In 2011, the situation in Libya was tense. When the government learned of this situation, one warship, twenty civil aircraft and four military aircraft were sent there immediately and all 35,860 Chinese citizens     2     (move) out of Libya within a week. These actions have been highly praised around the world. The world isn’t peaceful. It’s just someone     3     carries the burden for you!

At one time, experts were against raising children in a bilingual home. They thought their brains would become confused, which would result in their development delays and poor p     1       in studies. But we now understand that the exact o     2       is true.

Children can easily learn extra languages because of the higher ability of their brain to form new neural(神经的) connections and new brain cells throughout life.
