There are a lot of good schools in China. Why do we go there to study, open the mind to see the rest of the world, learn something from Chinese people. Students in China can speak English, Why? Because they would like to learn from us, We should speak Chinese too. Otherwise, we will be far behind them after another 10 years.

The Beijing 2008 Olympics has just successfully done. With 34 new world records, and 143 new olympic records. However, does it mean it is the "hot" season for Chinese?

As someone who is an international student from hong kong, I am part of chinese, and I think however successful China is during the olympics does Chinese have really a financial surge.

The students aren't taking Chinese. They are from China.
