Learning Chinese Fever in the World
As is vividly portrayed in the cartoon, there are two foreigners who are exchanging their ideas of learning Chinese. Recently, with the fact that China influences the world greater and greater, learning Chinese fever has arisen in the world.
There are many reasons for this phenomenon. First of all, the 5000-year-old splendid history of Chinese civilization is another aspect accounting for the highly increasing number of students studying Chinese. Numerous foreigners have stepped into this ancient land, appreciating Chinese culture. Besides, China’s rapid economic growth and especially its entry to the WTO attribute greatly to the fever. More and more business people cast their eyes on the Chinese market, and want to get more profit from it, which largely inspires the enthusiasm for learning the Chinese language. Therefore, the world sees the bright prospect of China from the past years’ rapid and steady development and learning Chinese fever arises naturally.
Learning Chinese fever is of great importance. On the one hand, it promotes Chinese culture to the world. On the other hand, it helps put an end to the misunderstanding of Chinese culture and facilitate the peace of the world. (179 words)

漢語學習在全世界掀起熱潮
就像漫畫中生動描繪的那樣，有個外國人正在交流學習中文。最近，隨著中國在世界的影響力日益增強，全世界興起了一股學習漢語的熱潮，這是事實。
這種現(xiàn)象由多種原因引起。首先，學習漢語的學生人數(shù)劇增的原因一方面在于中華民族五千年文明的輝煌歷史。大量的外國人已踏足這片古老的土地，欣賞中國文化。此外，中國經(jīng)濟的飛速發(fā)展，尤其是加入世貿(mào)組織很大程度上引發(fā)了這種熱潮。越來越多的商人將目光投向中國市場，希望從中獲得更大的利潤，這也極大地鼓舞了人們學習漢語的熱情。因此，世界從過去幾年中國穩(wěn)定、快速的發(fā)展中看到了其光明的前景，學習漢語的熱潮也自然而然地興起。
掀起學習漢語的熱潮具有十分重大的意義。一方面，這有利于在世界范圍內(nèi)提升中國文化。另一方面，這也有助于終結人們對中國文化的誤解，促進世界和平。
