我六年级的时候开始学中文，我的中文老师叫林老师，我们班有八个人，大家都认识， 可是我们有很多功课和考试，我觉得中文很难。九年级的时候， 我的老师叫刘老师。她没有给我们很多功课，也没有很多考试我觉得中文不太难。我们学了很多中文语法，在中文课上我们常常说中文，我的中文水平提高了。八年级的暑假，我和我哥哥去了中国桂林， 参加了中文夏令营。 我们每天都说中文，我们每天都吃中国餐，我很喜欢中国餐，有时候我们去购物中心买东西。 我很喜欢这个夏令营。这样我就可以更好地认识中国文化，更好地和中国人交流。
I started learning Mandarin in sixth grade. My Mandarin teacher was named Teacher Lin. We can eight people in our class and we all knew each other. But, we had a lot of tests and quizzes, which made me believe that Mandarin was too hard. In ninth grade, my teacher was named Teacher Liu. She didn't give us that much homework or tests so it wasn't too hard. My classmates and I studied a lot more grammar and we often spoke Mandarin so my Mandarin got better. In eighth grade for my summer vacation, my older brother and I went to Guilin China to study in a Chinese summer camp. I spoke Mandarin every day, ate Chinese food (I really liked it), and sometimes went to the mall to buy things. I really liked going to the summer camp. It's important to learn Chinese to understand Chinese culture and to commuticate with people in China.
