11、 Every week in China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero, which is a Chinese-style spelling bee (拼字大赛). In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.
Perhaps the show's popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smartphones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? It's possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.
But there's still hope for the paint brush. China's Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.
In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher's examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on rice paper. "If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?" we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. "The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture," she reasons. "Students must learn now so they don't forget when they grow up," says the teacher.
1. What can we learn about the Character Hero?
A. It's the most-viewed TV program in China.
B. It's open to people of all ages and all walks
C. It draws great public attention across the country.
D. It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.
2. Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?
A. Because Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.
B. Because Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.
C. Because Chinese people needn't write by hand as often with the help of technology.
D. Because Chinese people don't refer to dictionaries very often.
3. According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is _______.
A. helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture alive
B. a requirement made by China's Education Ministry
C. necessary for adults to survive in China
D. an ability to be developed only when you are students
4. Where does this text probably come from?
A. A science report.
B. A news report.
C. Children's literature.
D. An advertisement.
12、Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10, 000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000 ; Africa 2, 400 ; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000,which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of 6, 800 languages are close to extinction (消亡),with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
1. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?
A. They developed very fast.
B. They were large in number.
C. They had similar patterns.
D. They were closely connected.
2. Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2?
A. Complex.
B. Advanced.
C. Powerful.
D. Modem.
3. How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?
A. About 6, 800.
B. About 3,400.
C. About 2,400.
D. About 1,200.
13、Over 2,200 years ago, Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor in Chinese history, established (建立) the official Chinese writing characters. The new, characters made writing calligraphy ①_________ (little)difficult. It allowed people to use characters with more straight strokes, thus ②________ (make) it easier to write with brushes. This ③_______ (create) the clerical script (隶书). Over time, other changes were also made, ④_________ eventually led to the formation of the five styles in Chinese calligraphy. As ⑤__________ result, calligraphy became ⑥________ (wide) accepted. Calligraphy also had its practical values because it was a good way to make friends and was more presentable as a gift rather than jewelry or money. Does calligraphy still have these practical functions now? Yes. Many people practice calligraphy as a way ⑦_________ (raise) their cultural accomplishment (成就). Older people use calligraphic writing as a method to keep fit. They believe that when a person concentrates on ⑧__________ (write) calligraphy, his inner happiness is inspired. I had thought computer would lead to the ⑨_________ (disappear) of Chinese calligraphy. Now I understand that’s not likely to happen. How can you give your boss computer-printed calligraphy as a gift? You don't, ⑩__________ you want him to fire you!

答案：CCAB
解析：1.C推理判断题。结合第一段中的"Every week in China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero, which is a Chinese-style spelling bee (拼字大赛) 。"可知, 在中国, 每周数百万人坐在他们的电视机前看汉字拼写大赛, 由此可推断它在中国很吸引公众的注意, 故选C项。
2.C细节理解题。根据第二段中的"Software on smartphones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? It's possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them."可知, 中国人忘记如何写汉字是因为在用手机和电脑打字时, 是用拉丁字母的拼音得出的
汉字表来选择汉字的, 而不是用手书写。故选C项。
3.A细节理解题。根据最后一段中的"'The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture,' she reasons. 'Students must learn now so they don't forget when they grow up,' says the teacher."可知, 汉字书写能力是中华传统和文化的一部分, 学生现在必须学会, 这样他们长大后才不会忘记, 故选A项。

2. C词义猜测题。根据上文提到的"…all have caused many languages to disappear…"和下文的 "...such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over."可知，英语、西班牙语和汉语正在取代那些语言。由此猜测该词的意思是"占优势的"，所以选C项。
3. B细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句"At present, the world has about 6, 800 languages."和最后一句中的 "...is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that."可知，B项正确。
13答案及解析：
答案：1. less2. making3. created4. which5. a6. widely7. to raise8. writing9. disappearance10. unless
解析：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了秦始皇时期中国书法 的变革，最后文章指出练好书法的重要性。
1. 考查比较级。根据句意可知，此处暗含了比较，所以用比较级。
2. 考查非谓语动词。此处作结果状语，所以用动词-ing形式
3. 考查时态。根据上下文可知，此处叙述的是过去发生的事情，故应用一般过去时态。
4. 考查定语从句。此处是非限制性定语从句，且空格处的关系代词指代前面所说的内容，故用which。
5. 考查固定搭配。as a result是固定搭配，意为"结果"。
6. 考查副词。此处表示"书法被广泛接受"。副词widely 修饰动词accepted。
7. 考查非谓语动词。修饰抽象名词way要用动词不定式。
8. 考查非谓语动词。concentrate on doing sth.意为"集中精 力做某事"。此处用动名词作介词on的宾语。
9. 考查名词。 lead to中的to是介词，故其后用名词作它的宾语。
10. 考查连词。根据语境"除非你想让他开除你"可知，应填 unless。

11、 WASHINGTON-Thousands of public schools have slopped teaching foreign languages in the last decade, according to a survey. But another contrary trend makes educators and policymakers abuzz: a rush by schools in all parts of America to give lessons in Chinese.
Some schools are paying for Chinese classes on their own, but hundreds are getting some help. The Chinese government is sending teachers from China to schools all over the world and paying part of their salaries.
No one keeps an exact count, but rough calculations based on the government's survey suggest that perhaps 1,600American public and private schools are teaching Chinese, up from 300 or so a decade ago. And the number is growing fast.
"It's really changing the language education landscape of this country," said Nancy. Other indicators point to the same trend. "The number of students taking the Advanced Placement test in Chinese, introduced in 2007, has grown so fast that it is likely to pass German this year as the third most tested Advanced Placement language, after Spanish and French," said Trevor Packer, vice president of the College Board.
"We've all been surprised that in such a short time Chinese would grow to surpass German," Mr. Packer said.
A decade ago, most of the schools with Chinese programs were on the east and west coasts. But in recent years, many schools have started Chinese programs in heartland states, including Ohio and Illinois in the Midwest, Texas and Georgia in the South, and Colorado and Utah in the Rocky Mountain West.
America has had the study of a foreign language grow before, only to see the bubble burst. Many schools began teaching Japanese in the 1980s, after Japan emerged as an economic rival. But thousands of schools have dropped the language, the survey found. Japanese is not the only language that has declined. Thousands of schools that offered French, German or Russian have stopped teaching those languages, too, the survey found.
1. What's the meaning of the underlined word "abuzz" in the first paragraph?
A. Be noisy like the sound of a bee.
B. Be interested in various activities.
C. Cause people to discuss something hotly.
D. Motivate people to march bravely.
2. What can we infer from what Mr. Packer said?
A. More and more people choose Chinese in the Advanced Placement test.
B. The Advanced Placement test is the most difficult one in the world.
C. Chinese is more important than Spanish and French.
D. Chinese is a necessary subject in most important tests.
3. What can we know from the last two paragraphs?
A. Many schools started Chinese programs in the Midwest ten years ago.
B. Chinese programs have been started in more areas in America recently.
C. American schools have stopped teaching French, German and Russian.

C. Teaching Chinese in foreign countries has become a trend.
D. Foreign languages are no longer being taught in America.
12、Living in two different cultures has its benefits and challenges. Although I was born in America, my parents emigrated to the US from Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is an island off the coast of India. The customs, traditions, and culture are the same in India as it is in Sri Lanka. When my parents came to the US, they continued to perform their customs and hold on to their beliefs and traditions. This has influenced me in several ways.
Although my family and I live in the US, we follow the customs and traditions of Sri Lanka and India. I have learned to speak three languages, including English. I eat a variety of foods and celebrate different holidays that have to do with my religion and culture. It is very fun when I get to interact with people of my nationality and speak to them in a different language. It is also a benefit because I get to celebrate with all my family and have different foods and learn new things about my culture. Sharing my culture and information about my nationality with others is very important to me. I feel that people should have a good understanding of who I am and what my life is like. I always try to incorporate (吸收) both American and Indian traditions, customs and foods.
Even though this can be a major advantage, there are many setbacks to being part of two cultures. All of my family was born in Sri Lanka, so Tm not a part of several different nationalities, such as Greek, Italian, German, and others. My cousins, my siblings and I are the only ones born out of Sri Lanka. Speaking a language at home and speaking another language in school can get confusing. This is because sometimes I have trouble expressing my thoughts in English.
1. How does the author feel when interacting with people of his nationality?
A. Fun.
B. Dull.
C. Tired.
D. Disappointed.
2. The author finds it important ________.
A. to learn American customs
B. to speak three different languages
C. to follow their own customs
D. to share his own culture
3. What does the underlined word "setbacks" in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. Achievements.
B. Problems?
C. Benefits.
D. Performances.
4. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Living between two cultures.
B. Ways to live in a foreign country.
C. The ability to learn foreign languages.
D. Efforts to hold on to original traditions.

答案：
Dear John,
How is it going? I'm writing to you because you asked me to help you with Chinese study. I appreciate it very much that you desire to study this language, and I'm going to give you some advice.
First of all, you said that you didn't have enough time to learn Chinese. In that case, I suggest that you read books and magazines in Chinese in your spare time to improve your level of vocabulary and you won't forget the words which you've already learnt. Secondly, watching films in Chinese is a good way to improve your listening skills.
You know, there are a lot of ways to study Chinese and improve your skills, but it all depends on you. I hope these suggestions will help.
Yours,
Li Hua

11、 Every week in China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero, which is a Chinese-style spelling bee (拼字大赛). In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.
Perhaps the show's popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smartphones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? It's possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.
But there's still hope for the paint brush. China's Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.
In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher's examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on rice paper. "If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?" we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. "The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture," she reasons. "Students must learn now so they don't forget when they grow up," says the teacher.
1. What can we learn about the Character Hero?
A. It's the most-viewed TV program in China.
B. It's open to people of all ages and all walks
C. It draws great public attention across the country.
D. It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.
2. Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?
A. Because Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.
B. Because Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.
C. Because Chinese people needn't write by hand as often with the help of technology.
D. Because Chinese people don't refer to dictionaries very often.
3. According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is _______.
A. helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture alive
B. a requirement made by China's Education Ministry
C. necessary for adults to survive in China
D. an ability to be developed only when you are students
4. Where does this text probably come from?
A. A science report.
B. A news report.
C. Children's literature.
D. An advertisement.
12、Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10, 000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000 ; Africa 2, 400 ; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000,which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of 6, 800 languages are close to extinction (消亡),with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
1. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?
A. They developed very fast.
B. They were large in number.
C. They had similar patterns.
D. They were closely connected.
2. Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2?
A. Complex.
B. Advanced.
C. Powerful.
D. Modem.
3. How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?
A. About 6, 800.
B. About 3,400.
C. About 2,400.
D. About 1,200.
13、Over 2,200 years ago, Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor in Chinese history, established (建立) the official Chinese writing characters. The new, characters made writing calligraphy ①_________ (little)difficult. It allowed people to use characters with more straight strokes, thus ②________ (make) it easier to write with brushes. This ③_______ (create) the clerical script (隶书). Over time, other changes were also made, ④_________ eventually led to the formation of the five styles in Chinese calligraphy. As ⑤__________ result, calligraphy became ⑥________ (wide) accepted. Calligraphy also had its practical values because it was a good way to make friends and was more presentable as a gift rather than jewelry or money. Does calligraphy still have these practical functions now? Yes. Many people practice calligraphy as a way ⑦_________ (raise) their cultural accomplishment (成就). Older people use calligraphic writing as a method to keep fit. They believe that when a person concentrates on ⑧__________ (write) calligraphy, his inner happiness is inspired. I had thought computer would lead to the ⑨_________ (disappear) of Chinese calligraphy. Now I understand that’s not likely to happen. How can you give your boss computer-printed calligraphy as a gift? You don't, ⑩__________ you want him to fire you!

11答案及解析：
答案：CCAB
解析：1.C推理判断题。结合第一段中的"Every week in China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero, which is a Chinese-style spelling bee (拼字大赛) 。"可知, 在中国, 每周数百万人坐在他们的电视机前看汉字拼写大赛, 由此可推断它在中国很吸引公众的注意, 故选C项。
2.C细节理解题。根据第二段中的"Software on smartphones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? It's possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them."可知, 中国人忘记如何写汉字是因为在用手机和电脑打字时, 是用拉丁字母的拼音得出的
汉字表来选择汉字的, 而不是用手书写。故选C项。
3.A细节理解题。根据最后一段中的"'The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture,' she reasons. 'Students must learn now so they don't forget when they grow up,' says the teacher."可知, 汉字书写能力是中华传统和文化的一部分, 学生现在必须学会, 这样他们长大后才不会忘记, 故选A项。
4.B推理判断题。本文由汉字拼写大赛的情况, 谈到中国汉字拼写的现状, 再提及文化传承的希望, 由此可推知本文来自一篇新闻报道。故选B。
12答案及解析：
答案：BCB
解析：1. B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的"When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers...they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them."可知，在采猎文明时期，语言种类很多。
2. C词义猜测题。根据上文提到的"…all have caused many languages to disappear…"和下文的 "...such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over."可知，英语、西班牙语和汉语正在取代那些语言。由此猜测该词的意思是"占优势的"，所以选C项。
3. B细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句"At present, the world has about 6, 800 languages."和最后一句中的 "...is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that."可知，B项正确。
13答案及解析：
答案：1. less2. making3. created4. which5. a6. widely7. to raise8. writing9. disappearance10. unless
解析：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了秦始皇时期中国书法 的变革，最后文章指出练好书法的重要性。
1. 考查比较级。根据句意可知，此处暗含了比较，所以用比较级。
2. 考查非谓语动词。此处作结果状语，所以用动词-ing形式
3. 考查时态。根据上下文可知，此处叙述的是过去发生的事情，故应用一般过去时态。
4. 考查定语从句。此处是非限制性定语从句，且空格处的关系代词指代前面所说的内容，故用which。
5. 考查固定搭配。as a result是固定搭配，意为"结果"。
6. 考查副词。此处表示"书法被广泛接受"。副词widely 修饰动词accepted。
7. 考查非谓语动词。修饰抽象名词way要用动词不定式。
8. 考查非谓语动词。concentrate on doing sth.意为"集中精 力做某事"。此处用动名词作介词on的宾语。
9. 考查名词。 lead to中的to是介词，故其后用名词作它的宾语。
10. 考查连词。根据语境"除非你想让他开除你"可知，应填 unless。

11、 WASHINGTON-Thousands of public schools have slopped teaching foreign languages in the last decade, according to a survey. But another contrary trend makes educators and policymakers abuzz: a rush by schools in all parts of America to give lessons in Chinese.
Some schools are paying for Chinese classes on their own, but hundreds are getting some help. The Chinese government is sending teachers from China to schools all over the world and paying part of their salaries.
No one keeps an exact count, but rough calculations based on the government's survey suggest that perhaps 1,600American public and private schools are teaching Chinese, up from 300 or so a decade ago. And the number is growing fast.
"It's really changing the language education landscape of this country," said Nancy. Other indicators point to the same trend. "The number of students taking the Advanced Placement test in Chinese, introduced in 2007, has grown so fast that it is likely to pass German this year as the third most tested Advanced Placement language, after Spanish and French," said Trevor Packer, vice president of the College Board.
"We've all been surprised that in such a short time Chinese would grow to surpass German," Mr. Packer said.
A decade ago, most of the schools with Chinese programs were on the east and west coasts. But in recent years, many schools have started Chinese programs in heartland states, including Ohio and Illinois in the Midwest, Texas and Georgia in the South, and Colorado and Utah in the Rocky Mountain West.
America has had the study of a foreign language grow before, only to see the bubble burst. Many schools began teaching Japanese in the 1980s, after Japan emerged as an economic rival. But thousands of schools have dropped the language, the survey found. Japanese is not the only language that has declined. Thousands of schools that offered French, German or Russian have stopped teaching those languages, too, the survey found.
1. What's the meaning of the underlined word "abuzz" in the first paragraph?
A. Be noisy like the sound of a bee.
B. Be interested in various activities.
C. Cause people to discuss something hotly.
D. Motivate people to march bravely.
2. What can we infer from what Mr. Packer said?
A. More and more people choose Chinese in the Advanced Placement test.
B. The Advanced Placement test is the most difficult one in the world.
C. Chinese is more important than Spanish and French.
D. Chinese is a necessary subject in most important tests.
3. What can we know from the last two paragraphs?
A. Many schools started Chinese programs in the Midwest ten years ago.
B. Chinese programs have been started in more areas in America recently.
C. American schools have stopped teaching French, German and Russian.
D. People are gradually fond of learning Chinese and Japanese in recent years.
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Chinese is being learned as an official language in America.
B. Foreign languages fade in American schools except Chinese.
C. Teaching Chinese in foreign countries has become a trend.
D. Foreign languages are no longer being taught in America.
12、Living in two different cultures has its benefits and challenges. Although I was born in America, my parents emigrated to the US from Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is an island off the coast of India. The customs, traditions, and culture are the same in India as it is in Sri Lanka. When my parents came to the US, they continued to perform their customs and hold on to their beliefs and traditions. This has influenced me in several ways.
Although my family and I live in the US, we follow the customs and traditions of Sri Lanka and India. I have learned to speak three languages, including English. I eat a variety of foods and celebrate different holidays that have to do with my religion and culture. It is very fun when I get to interact with people of my nationality and speak to them in a different language. It is also a benefit because I get to celebrate with all my family and have different foods and learn new things about my culture. Sharing my culture and information about my nationality with others is very important to me. I feel that people should have a good understanding of who I am and what my life is like. I always try to incorporate (吸收) both American and Indian traditions, customs and foods.
Even though this can be a major advantage, there are many setbacks to being part of two cultures. All of my family was born in Sri Lanka, so Tm not a part of several different nationalities, such as Greek, Italian, German, and others. My cousins, my siblings and I are the only ones born out of Sri Lanka. Speaking a language at home and speaking another language in school can get confusing. This is because sometimes I have trouble expressing my thoughts in English.
1. How does the author feel when interacting with people of his nationality?
A. Fun.
B. Dull.
C. Tired.
D. Disappointed.
2. The author finds it important ________.
A. to learn American customs
B. to speak three different languages
C. to follow their own customs
D. to share his own culture
3. What does the underlined word "setbacks" in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. Achievements.
B. Problems?
C. Benefits.
D. Performances.
4. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Living between two cultures.
B. Ways to live in a foreign country.
C. The ability to learn foreign languages.
D. Efforts to hold on to original traditions.

答案：
Dear John,
How is it going? I'm writing to you because you asked me to help you with Chinese study. I appreciate it very much that you desire to study this language, and I'm going to give you some advice.
First of all, you said that you didn't have enough time to learn Chinese. In that case, I suggest that you read books and magazines in Chinese in your spare time to improve your level of vocabulary and you won't forget the words which you've already learnt. Secondly, watching films in Chinese is a good way to improve your listening skills.
You know, there are a lot of ways to study Chinese and improve your skills, but it all depends on you. I hope these suggestions will help.
Yours,
Li Hua
