Topic: Chinese could become a new world language.

The Chinese is the most widely used language, in the world about a quarter of the people speak Chinese, and about 40 million are learning Chinese. Now China is the third biggest economic entity in the world, and China is called “the world factory”. So with Chinese economic and cultural exchanges across the world is increasing, the Chinese is becoming more and more important now. More and more overseas Chinese is another power to promote it developing in the world. But compare with other world language such as English and French, Chinese is not used in many countries, and learning Chinese is very difficult even though now people know 2-3 foreign language is very common. So maybe in future we Chinese should change something by it-self to suit other country people’s habit. Only by doing so, the Chinese could become a new world language.
