On a sunny afternoon, Bob went to a park to take walks. Some people were painting pictures, some were reading poems and some were shooting arrows(射箭). It looked fun so he decided to challenge it himself.
He saw one woman pick up an arrow and shoot it after taking a moment to aim(瞄准). The arrow curved(飞出弧线)through the air beautifully. But it finally fell to the ground and missed the target(目标).
It seemed that she didn't put enough power into her shot.While Bob was thinking about what he should do. It was his turn to shoot He focused(使集中)his eyes on the target and shot the arrow with all of his strength. But the arrow missed the target and stuck straight in the grass. He shot three more arrows, but all of them missed.
He was upset, but decided to take one more shot. He took a deep breath and put one foot forward to keep his balance(平衡). He focused hard on the target and shot the arrow. This time he hit the target!
He said, "There are many things that are not as simple as we imagine. There are challenges everywhere. But if we focus on one thing at a time and learn from failure, we can succeed in the end."

People at home keep asking me, "Is it hard to learn Chinese? Why have you learned it so well?" Well, there's one thing that makes Chinese easy to learn: there are so many people to talk to. You've probably heard that it's the most spoken language. Today it's also one of the most written languages online. And with so many Chinese people interested in learning English, it couldn't be easier to find a friend for language learning. You just have to know where to look for them.
The really good place to look for them is QQ. QQ has the same status(地位) in China as AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) does in the US. It is reported that at any moment, up to 9,000,000 people are using QQ. They're at work, or in a web café(网吧), or at home, and the information of the users can be found. If you sign on with your address set to "abroad", you'll soon find that many thousands of them are interested in speaking to you! This is a great way for you to learn Chinese, and for them to learn English. I think that it's a very interesting way of cultural contact(文化交流), too, for ordinary people from around the world to be able to have one-on-one contact. In the first paragraph(段落), the writer tells us ___________.
A.why his family members want to learn Chinese |
B.where you can find people to talk to for language learning |
