The future of Chinese
Chinese is a language with a long and important history. It has shaped other languages in Asia the way Latin shaped languages in the West. With this history, does Chinese have a surprising future
反问句结尾的好处是：1.引人思考；2.引起下文。
There are over one billion speakers of Chinese in the world—far more than any other language. It is the language of the country with the world’s largest population, and the country which is soon to have the world’s largest economy. Chinese people are found studying and doing business all over the world. Wherever you go nowadays, you will hear people speaking Chinese.
数字在论述时很有说服力，far用在这里表示程度，意为 “远远超过”
In fact, Chinese is destined to be a world language. Why is this certain We must look at the economic and political power of China, which is growing every day. In the past, world languages have always been the languages of countries with powerful economies. Latin, French, and, yes, English were important because of the power of the countries that spoke those languages.
举例说明作者前面提出的论点
Foreign interest in the Chinese language has grown very quickly together with the growth of the Chinese economy. It was once difficult to find a Chinese department in most Western universities. Now Chinese is one of the most important and popular languages to learn.
利用 “once, now”对比来进一步阐释
As China grows, more and more people will want to learn about Chinese language and culture, to take advantage of opportunities to work and study in China, and to do business with Chinese companies. For this reason, Chinese will one day become an international language.
