Answer 1

【答案】Dear Peter,

Nice to receive your letter, in which you sought for my advice on whether you should choose Chinese as a second language. I consider it as a wise choice.

For one thing, Chinese is certainly one of the oldest and most beautiful languages that are still being used in the world. For another, the handwriting of Chinese is quite special and unique, thus helping you create a new thinking way.

Learning Chinese well, you can communicate with the largest population in the world, which helps you with more opportunities to make a career. What’s more, the Chinese language is sure to give you a glimpse of the colourful culture of China.

May you do well in learning Chinese. If you have any problems, don’t hesitate to write to me.

Best wishes,

Yours,

Li Hua
