In your school,are you allowed to choose the subjects you want to learn? Of course,the answer is "No" in China.

In America there is a school trying something new. At a high school in Florida,students will be able to choose their own classes. We all know that some students are better at some subjects than others. Some students plan to go on to college,while others don't. At this school students are able to find subjects they are interested in,and possibly even find the field(领域)they would like to go into after school. They are allowed to choose a subject like biology,math,a foreign language,or study skills like computer or car repair(修理).

Some people think this is a good idea,because it helps students think about what they want to do in the future,and the school helps to give them the knowledge and skills needed to get there. They say that giving the students the chance to choose their own classes makes high school more interesting. Others disagree. They think that fourteen-year-old teenagers are too young to know what they want to do in the future.

When 4-year-old British Prince George started his first day of school in September, 2017, Chinese language was on his course.

And he wasn't alone According to a report in September, about 51 percent of UK parents want their children to learn Chinese, as it's believed to be one of the most useful languages to know.

In fact, the popularity of Chinese drove the UK government to launch the Chinese Excellence Program in September last year. Its goal is to make at least 5, 000 British state middle school students speak Chinese well by 2020.

The language has become the second most spoken foreign language in the US, after only Spanish (西班牙语), with over2. 1 million speakers, according to a survey.

Many US famous people such as Facebook founder(脸书创始人) Mark Zuckerberg and Obama's daughter, Malia Obama, study Chinese as a second language.

So far, 67 countries and regions (地区)have included Chinese in their national course, so why are so many countries crazy about learning Chinese?

One reason could be that as China continues to develop quickly, Chinese is increasingly becoming a useful tool for people's personal and professional growth. “I think everyone believes that China will be the next great superpower(超级大国)... even if it' s not a superpower like America. It still has an important influence in the future,” said Aisling McCaffrey from Canada, who studied at the Renmin University of China, “Learning Chinese is the best way to make sure that you can be part of that growth.”

This opinion was shared by former(前任的) British Prime Minister David Cameron, who urged(呼吁) British students to learn Chinese to “seal(抓住)tomorrows business deals” in 2013.
