We all know that English is accepted by an increasing number, but Chinese now is used by more and more people in the world. Do you know why? Maybe there are not many people have studied this problem. I have thought a long time for the answer. Now I have my answer come out.

我们都知道越来越多的人接受英语了，但是现在汉语在这个世界上也是越来越多的人使用。你知道为什么吗？也许很多人还没想过这个问题。我想了很久了。现在我有我自己的答案了。

First of all, population plays important role. China is a country with a large population. Not to mention its population is in an increasing tendency. Ignoring Chinese rapid development, though China is a developing¹ country, its own people will speak Chinese for sure. Then the language is spoken by an unimaginable number people. It is its own advantage. Not like some small countries, they have to try hard to make themselves to be accepted and then struggle to widen² the using number of their language.

首先，人口是很重要的一点。中国是一个人口大国。更不用说它的人口也是在增加趋势。忽视中国的迅速发展，虽然中国是发展中国家，但是中国人肯定是讲汉语的。这样的话这个语言会有无法估量的人在使用。这就是它的自身优势。不像一些小国家，他们要很努力使自己被接受来扩大使用语言的人数。

Secondly³, development also couldn’t be ignored. With the right leading of Chinese leader, China has been developed quickly in the recently years. China has been accepted among the international world in the area of economic, culture, politics⁴ and so on. In another word, as Chinese comprehensive⁵ national strength has improved, the communication between international countries makes more and more foreigners want to learn Chinese to establish some friendly relationship with Chinese. This is also a force to be reckoned⁶ with.

其次，发展也不可忽视的。由于中国领导人的正确领导，中国已经在最近几年发展很快。中国的经济，文化，政治等在国际世界占有一定的地位。换句话说，随着中国综合国力的提高，国际间的交流让更多的外国人想学习来与中国建立友好关系。这也是一股不可忽视的力量。

In general, Chinese become more and more wildly used is a certainty⁷ for its own advantage and its effort.

一般来说，汉语越来越广泛使用是其自身优势和自身努力的结果。
