With China’s rapid economic growth and wide exchanges with the rest of the world, there has been a sharp increase in the world demand for Chinese language learning. To meet the increasing demands for Chinese learning, the Chinese government decided to set up Confucius Institutes in foreign countries. The first Confucius Institute was set up in South Korea in 2004. Confucius Institutes adopt flexible teaching patterns to suit local conditions while teaching Chinese language and promoting cultural exchange in foreign schools, universities, communities, and enterprises.

It is an organisation set up in foreign countries to meet the increasing demands for Chinese learning.

Before you listen, talk with your partner.

Interviewing someone
We are pleased to welcome ... What was your biggest challenge
Thanks for joining us. How did you overcome it
Tell us more about ... What are you keen on
Thanks for your time. What is the key to your success
It was a pleasure talking with you. What do you feel is your biggest
achievement
EXAMPLE
A: Hi, Jane. Welcome to the show!
B: Thanks for inviting me.
A: Tell us, what was your biggest challenge in learning Chinese at the beginning
B: Well, I suppose it was difficult to grasp the tones at first.
A: I bet! Did joining the Confucius Institute help overcome this problem
B: Absolutely! Getting involved with Chinese cultural activities there definitely helped a lot ...
A: Hi, Jane. Welcome to the show!
B: Thanks for inviting me.
A: Tell us, what was your biggest challenge in learning Chinese at the beginning
B: Well, I suppose it was difficult to grasp the tones at first.
A: I bet! Did joining the Confucius Institute help overcome this problem
B: Absolutely! Getting involved with Chinese cultural activities there definitely helped a lot. I got to practise my Chinese on a daily basis, and I could learn how native Chinese speakers spoke.
A: What do you feel is your biggest achievement
B: Learning Chinese characters! I have learnt about 1,500 so far. When I first started, I didn’t think it was even going to be possible to learn so many, but now I find that I can read signs, menus, and even some easy newspaper articles.
Sample Conversation
A: What are you most keen on
B: I’ve really become keen on learning more about the Chinese culture, in particular Chinese calligraphy. As I have learnt Chinese characters, I have developed a great appreciation for their meaning. I want to explore Chinese characters by learning how to write them in a more beautiful way.
A: Finally, what do you want to say to anyone interested in learning Chinese
B: I’d say, give it a shot! While some aspects may be difficult, it is quite rewarding and you will be happy that you tried.
A: Thanks for your time.
B: You’re welcome.
Sample Conversation
Read the conversation.
Pronunciation
Lu Yao: Excuse me, Miss Conner. I’m having a problem with this English
listening task. Some words are pronounced really fast and sound
different.
Miss Conner: Oh, let me listen ... Yes, that’s probably because the words are not
being stressed. You see, English is a stress-based language.
Lu Yao: So does this mean I need to know which words are stressed and which
are not
Miss Conner: Yes, I’m afraid so. English words have a strong form and a weak
form. Words like pronouns, articles, prepositions, and so on are often
not stressed. So we usually use the weak form for them when we speak.
Lu Yao: Oh no. When I speak, I worry people won’t understand me, so I always
try to pronounce all my words really clearly. No wonder my
classmates say I sound like a robot!
Miss Conner: Oh dear! Well, I suggest you pay more attention to the weak forms. For example, in the sentence “Are you studying hard ”, the words “are” and “you” are pronounced as /a/ and /j /.
Lu Yao: Oh, I get it. Thanks, Miss Conner.
Miss Conner: You’re welcome. I also suggest you watch some movies and study
how the weak forms are used.
Lu Yao: That’s great advice. Miss Conner! I’m going to watch a movie right
now. Thanks again! Bye!
