Jack was born in New York. He lived there
with his parents for more than ten years. Last year his father came to work in
Beijing. China is quite different from America, and Beijing is far away from
New York. So Jack wanted to know what kind of life the Chinese people were
living. He often wrote to his father to ask some questions about China.
Last month, Jack and his mother came to
China. How happy he was!
Now Jack has some Chinese lessons every day. We all know Chinese
is quite different from English. It's not easy for an American boy to learn.
But Jack is interested in it and he works very hard.
For the first time in Beijing Jack was
walking in Chang'an Street with his mother yesterday. He saw so many people in
the street. Most of them were very kind and friendly. He tried to ask them some
questions in Chinese. They answered his questions kindly. But sometimes some of
them couldn't understand him.
When Jack came back to school, he told the
story to his friends. They said to him, "A lot of Chinese are studying
English now. Why didn't you ask them questions in English?"
