1.What’s your native language? My mother tongue is Chinese. No matter where I live, I regard Chinese characters as the most beautiful words. One of the main factors has been the Chinese writing system. At the beginning, written Chinese was based on pictures. It dates back to the use of animal bones and shells on which symbols were carved. As time went by, varieties of characters were formed. After Emperor Qinshihuang united the seven major states into one unified country, the Chinese writing system began to develop in one direction. In modern times, written Chinese has become an important means of connecting the present with the past. Besides, as China plays a greater role in global affairs, more foreigners begin to appreciate Chinese culture.
2.To learn a specific foreign language well demands a wide vocabulary, which is really a struggle for many learners though most of the time they can refer to a dictionary. However,from my point of view, despite the great difficulty, learning another language is a good thing,through which we can read other countries’ classics and learn different cultures of equal beauty.
