Nan Hauser is a marine biologist(海洋生物学家). One day, she was filming near the ocean(海洋). As it was required, she went into the ocean and swam slowly toward some whales. Just then, a whale saw her, and suddenly charged at(猛冲) her.

Nan had worked in the ocean for 30 years and had never seen anything like it. She didn’t know what to do. So, she stayed away from it. But the whale had no idea of walking away. Just then, she saw some whales moving fast toward her. When she looked closer, there was also a big tiger shark. The whale tried his best to protect Nan. He hid Nan next to his face.

The whale pulled Nan with its head, and swam as fast as it could toward the boat. “I just rode the whale for about 10 minutes,” said Nan.

It was not until Nan was safely in the boat that the whale slowly moved away.

A year and 15 days later, to Nan’s surprise, she again saw the whale that had saved her life! Nan was only one meter away from him and she saw the scar(伤疤) on his head. She got on the boat and put her foot in the water and the whale stayed there for another 20 minutes. Finally, Nan told him the same thing she said last time: Thank you, I love you.

The Chinese language has been a part of China’s rich history and culture. It is considered as a useful, valuable and important language in the world. It builds a bridge for the world to get close to and understand China. But in the past, the number of people learning English was larger than that of learning Chinese.

According to a report, about 100 million people outside China are using and learning Chinese. Many kinds of educational institutes(教育机构) in about 100 countries set up the course of Chinese. More and more schools are including Chinese in their teaching plan. Chinese teaching develops rapidly in foreign countries. The number of people learning Chinese is increasing fast. However, there are not enough teachers of Chinese. So, many countries request(请求) China to send teachers of Chinese to teach in their countries.

It is the first national program to send volunteers to foreign countries to teach Chinese. And it is also a very important part of “Project of Chinese Bridge” of the NOCFL. It has gained(得到) highly attention and support from Ministry of Education(教育部).

The program is to promote (推) Chinese and its culture abroad. And it is improving its teaching in the world and also the understanding and friendship between China and other countries. Chinese people will work together with the world to create a brighter future for hu man beings.
