How do foreigners feel about learning Chinese? Some students who were awarded the Confucius Institute Scholarship were interviewed by China Today. The following are their views and opinions.
● | Kamila Carter, the U.S. The 12-year-old girl is a student of Confucius Institute at San Diegio State University in the U.S. Both her parents are hearing-impaired. With the help of her grandmother, she learned how to share her ideas and thoughts with family members in various languages. “The happiest time for me is learning with teachers and classmates in the Confucius Institute, and telling my dad and mom at home what I have learned, and all the stories I heard about China during class,” Carler said. “Many people around me received selfless assistance from the Confucius Institute, some of them are facing the same problems as my parents.

Most people like having a picnic. But what does the word mean? Where does it come from? What is a picnic?
For most people a picnic is a meal they eat outside the home, usually in a park, by a river, or even sitting in a car if the weather is cold and wet. At one time, however, (66)people had picnics at home at their own dinner tables.
The word picnic comes from the French words piquer which means “to pick” or “take” and pique-nipue which means “a small coin”. (67)Everyone who came to a picnic brought something to eat. They took or picked small pieces of food from each plate. They had a pique-nique. This kind of meal was popular in Britain, The British used the French words for it but changed the letters to make “picnic”. This is the way we write it today.
(68)In some countries there are big picnics on special days. Lots of people go to parks on these picnics. For most people, however, a picnic is a family party. The family puts some food and drink in a basket, gets in the car and goes off to a nice place in the country or by the sea.
