BEIJING, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) -- "The social status of the female population indicates the level of social progress (of a nation), while children are the future and hope of a nationality and a nation," Premier Wen Jiabao said on Sunday.
While addressing the fifth National Working Conference on Women and Children, the premier highlighted the importance of women's and children's wellbeing, noting they bear on "the future of the nation and the nationality."
China's women and children, who make up two-thirds of the country's 1.3 billion strong population, are an "important force for promoting national development and social progress," said Wen, who is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee.
I (Graeme, Ed of Kaixin with Xiaosui) am a mature age adult and I have never been good a learning a language.
I studied online for 5 years and I knew a LOT about how to speak Chinese.
BUT, I could not speak it!
Then I met a wonderful woman who is to be my wife.
She spoke little English so I had to stumble through my rudimentary Chinese.
She is very very patient and I was soon speaking with some fluency. It was still simple Chinese and I am sure many of the tones are wrong, but she can understand.
I then realized that if I had done that from the very beginning I would be fluent by now.
You can't learn a language by just studying it.
You have to use it from the very beginning.
So don't waste 5 years like I did, start with an online tutor from eteacher and you will soon be speaking your new language fluently.
Chinese Students, the same applies to you. You will not learn English UNLESS you use it.
