我有很多学中文的理由。一个理又是我的祖父母只会说中文，所以我想在他们太老之前就能和他们说话。另外，我觉得中文很有意思。三年前，我到中国去看望我的祖父母。但是我不能读中文，所以我不能了解中国的文化。我如果学了中文的话我可以去学习更多关于中国的文化。下年，我想去北京一次，学一点中国文化。最重要的是，我如果学会了中文，我在家就可以和爸爸妈妈说中文了。现在，我的中文舌头不太好，所以我想说说中文，希望我的口音提高一点。以前我不认识中国人，所以去法拉盛（Flushing）是很难的，因为我什么都听不懂。我学习中文的时候，我可以点菜，去逛街，和坐公车。

There are a lot of reasons I learn Chinese. First, I want to be able to speak with my grandparents, who only speak Chinese, before they become very old. Additionally, I think China is very interesting. Three years ago, I went to China to visit my grandparents. But I could not read Chinese, so I could not fully understand Chinese culture. If I learn Chinese, I can learn more about Chinese culture. Next year, I want to go to Beijing once to learn a little Chinese culture. Most importantly, if I learned Chinese, I could speak Chinese with my mom and dad at home. My Chinese isn't very good yet but I hope that as I keep speaking, my accent will improve. Lastly, because I did not know Chinese before, going to Flushing was hard because I could not fully appreciate the neighborhood. Now that I take Chinese, I am able to take in the food, shopping, and all that happens on the buses that go there.
