Why Chinese and English are Equally Important
Hi there! My name is Michael, and I'm a 5th grader at Oakwood Elementary School. Today, I want to talk to you about why I think Chinese and English are both really, really important languages to learn.
First off, let me tell you a bit about myself. I was born in the United States to parents who immigrated here from China when they were young adults. So at home, we always speak Chinese - a mixture of Mandarin and our local dialect from our hometown. But at school and out in the community, it's all English all the time. I've been studying both languages ever since I was a little kid.
At first, it was kind of confusing and frustrating to have to keep switching between the two languages. Sometimes I'd mix up words or get things mixed up. But as I've gotten older, I've come to really appreciate how lucky I am to be bilingual and bicultural. It's like having two worlds that I can be a part of instead of just one!
Let me start by talking about why Chinese is such an important language. Well, for one thing, it has more native speakers than any other language in the world - over 1.3 billion people speak some form of Chinese as their first language! That's like one out of every six people on the planet. Chinese is one of the six official languages of the United Nations too.
But Chinese isn't just a major world language in terms of numbers. It's also a really ancient and rich language with a fascinating history and culture behind it. Chinese writing goes all the way back over 3,000 years to the Shang Dynasty. The first known Chinese characters were inscriptions on oracle bones used for divination and record keeping. How cool is that?
Learning Chinese opens the door to understanding one of the world's oldest civilizations
and appreciating the philosophy, literature, arts, and customs of the Chinese people. It lets you read classic works like the Analects of Confucius, the Dao De Jing, the Art of War, and so much more in their original language. It connects you to the rich history and culture that has had a huge influence on Korea, Japan, Vietnam and other Asian nations as well.
On top of that, being able to speak, read and write Chinese gives you a big advantage in today's world, where China has such a huge presence economically and politically on the global stage. If you want to do business with Chinese companies, work in China, or interact with the Chinese government, knowing the language is pretty much essential.
But as important as Chinese is, I also think English is hugely, hugely important - which is why I'm so glad I'm getting a solid foundation in both languages while I'm still young.
There's no denying that English is the closest thing we have to a true global language these days. It's the main language used for international communication in areas like business, tourism, science, technology, diplomacy and more. Did you know that over 1.5 billion people speak English to at least a reasonable level? That's nearly one out of every f
our people in the world!
If you want to connect and communicate with people from different cultures and backgrounds all over the planet, having solid English skills pretty much opens all the doors for you. It allows you to consume media and entertainment, read publications, use the internet, and travel abroad with much more ease. Good English proficiency is a huge asset for getting jobs at multinational companies or organizations too.
I feel very fortunate that I'm a native English speaker, and that it's the language of instruction at my school. The communication, critical thinking, and literacy skills I'm developing in English will stick with me for life and open up so many future opportunities. Just imagine how limiting it would be to only be fluent in one language in today's interconnected world!
At the same time, I know I have a big advantage compared to kids who are monolingual English speakers because I'm getting an equal foundation in Chinese too. Instead of just being limited to one language and culture, I get to be part of two worlds. I have this whole o
ther rich heritage, history and way of looking at the world through the lens of the Chinese language.
When I'm speaking Chinese at home or with Chinese friends, it's like putting on a different hat and experiencing a different mode of expression and communication. The language doesn't just convey different words, but also different contexts, cultural concepts, and ways of thinking that don't always translate exactly into English. It's amazing how much learning and being immersed in multiple languages can expand your perspective.
I may only be a kid, but I can already see how knowing both Chinese and English is a huge advantage that will open up all kinds of opportunities for me later in life - whether that's in my education, career, or just my ability to connect with different people and cultures around the world. It's like being given a gift of two powerful tools instead of just one.
