Learning Chinese Fever in the World
As is vividly portrayed in the cartoon, there are two foreigners who are exchanging their ideas of learning Chinese. Recently, with the fact that China influences the world greater and greater, learning Chinese fever has arisen in the world.
There are many reasons for this phenomenon. First of all, the 5000-year-old splendid history of Chinese civilization is another aspect accounting for the highly increasing number of students studying Chinese. Numerous foreigners have stepped into this ancient land, appreciating Chinese culture. Besides, China’s rapid economic growth and especially its entry to the WTO attribute greatly to the fever. More and more business people cast their eyes on the Chinese market, and want to get more profit from it, which largely inspires the enthusiasm for learning the Chinese language. Therefore, the world sees the bright prospect of China from the past years’ rapid and steady development and learning Chinese fever arises naturally.
Learning Chinese fever is of great importance. On the one hand, it promotes Chinese culture to the world. On the other hand, it helps put an end to the misunderstanding of Chinese culture and facilitate the peace of the world. (179 words)

汉语学习在全世界掀起热潮
就像漫画中生动描绘的那样，有个外国人正在交流学习中文。最近，随着中国在世界的影响力日益增强，全世界兴起了一股学习汉语的热潮，这是事实。
这种现象由多种原因引起。首先，学习汉语的学生人数剧增的原因一方面在于中华民族五千年文明的辉煌历史。大量的外国人已踏足这片古老的土地，欣赏中国文化。此外，中国经济的飞速发展，尤其是加入世贸组织很大程度上引发了这种热潮。越来越多的商人将目光投向中国市场，希望从中获得更大的利润，这也极大地鼓舞了人们学习汉语的热情。因此，世界从过去几年中国稳定、快速的发展中看到了其光明的前景，学习汉语的热潮也自然而然地兴起。
掀起学习汉语的热潮具有十分重大的意义。一方面，这有利于在世界范围内提升中国文化。另一方面，这也有助于终结人们对中国文化的误解，促进世界和平。
