Question

If life can be compared to a meal, I think the mistakes are like salt and the success is a candy.

“Hey,”said the boy sitting next to me.“Don’t worry. Take your time.”And so I did. But I still couldn’t pronounce my Chinese name that was given by the teacher correctly. I was so embarrassed on my first day of learning Chinese!

I took Chinese classes during my summer vacation. Every morning I walked for 25 minutes to the class while having a Chinese jianbing from one of the breakfast carts(推车) on the way. Learning Spanish in school was a cushy job for me, because I could speak French and Italian which helped me with another Romance language(罗曼语). However, learning Chinese was difficult at first. As a boy who was born in America and grew up in America, I knew nothing about the language. I chose it mainly because my goal was to teach and work internationally.

As the classes went on, I slowly found that I was making connections. My 10 years of playing the piano have allowed me to perform for others. My several years of writing have led me to become a school reporter. I knew that my Chinese classes would allow me to speak Chinese well.

So what did my summer really taste like? It tasted like the Chinese food that, for the first time, I did not order in English, my mother language.
