銘華中文學校周六上課／七年一班的同學，大家好。歡迎同學來到Jason老師「瘋華語-Mandarinsanity」部落格。 

2014年9月13日的回家作業，想讓同學瞭解「為什麼要學中文？」「中文的文字有趣嗎？」歡迎同學再看一次9月13日上課時看過的短片（http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC9Bp-BM7is&list=PL3604FC908406376C&index=1），並在看完以後想一想，把感想寫出來，至少五個中文句子，請在9月20日上課時交給老師，謝謝。

你／妳知道嗎？未來無論想做生意、政府交往、教育工作等，都可能會運用到中文。中文是中國、台灣的官方語言；是新加坡四種官方語言之一；是聯合國六種官方語言之一。全世界約有四億人說英語，全世界有將近九億人說中文（普通話）。 

Dear students of Grade 7-1 on Saturday in Minghua. Welcome to my blog 「瘋華語-Mandarinsanity」.

Why should we learn Chinese/Mandarin? Here is your homework. Please watch this 11-minute video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC9Bp-BM7is&list=PL3604FC908406376C&index=1) which we watched in our class on September 13. Then write down your comments, opinions or ideas, at least 5 sentences in Chinese. Please hand it to me in the upcoming class on September 20. Thank you.

Did you know?Mandarin is a language of business, government and education. Mandarin is important because it is the official language of China, Taiwan, one of four languages in Singapore, and one of six official languages in the United Nations. We have about 400 million native English speakers; Mandarin is spoken by about 900 million people.
