Chinese became one of the six official（官方的） languages of the United Nations（联合国） in 1945. To celebrate this event，the UN created Chinese Language Day in 2010. It is on April 20th every year. How can you celebrate Chinese Language Day？If you are a foreign student，here are some things you can do on this day.
Learn some Chinese You can learn some simple Chinese. For example，you can say "xiexie". It means thanks and its pronunciation is like"she﹣ye she﹣ye. " Just say it all together like one word. Easy，right？Now you know some Chinese! | Eat in a Chinese restaurant There are many Chinese dishes，such as gongbao chicken，rice noodles，mapo tofu and so on. Of all the dishes，I like Beijing duck best. If you don't know what Chinese dish you should order，you can try it first. You may never taste anything else like it. Then，at the end of your meal，you should thank the server—in Chinese of course. |
Watch a Chinese movie You can not only enjoy fascinating stories but also learn a lot about Chinese culture from some great Chinese movies. Of course you can realize how beautiful the Chinese language sounds and how great Chinese movies are. | Help others learn Chinese If you know Chinese well，help teach other people Chinese and teach them about the history of the Chinese language. Spend this day with your friends and family and make other s enjoy Chinese. |
